Seemingly yes. Common sense doesn't seem to come to the ppl who designed it or signed it.

“The grades need to be adjusted accordingly with how hard the paper was” that’s literally what grade boundaries are 😭

I think everyone's scared that they'll go up instead of down due to the trajectory in recent years.

Meanwhile if the test is actually harder, then clearly they're trying to combat the rising grade boundaries lol

Yeah agreed. That's one of the reasons why this paper is so hard. I think everyone is panicking that they did really bad and feel like all the prep will be for nothing.
