Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) has appeared in three consecutive papers. In 2024, students had to analyse wheat yields using ANOVA and work out what would happen if blocking were removed. The 2025 paper again involved four wheat varieties. Interestingly, the 2026 paper used the same numerical data as 2025, though it described the problem in terms of treatments and blocks. Sampling was also tested in 2024 and 2025, with questions involving the distribution of sample means. The 2026 paper included a hypothesis test about rising household housing costs and a question asking students to examine the limitations of p-values.
