    Found the Chemistry and Biology exams quite strange, Section B of the Paper 2s were quite different from earlier past papers, and seemed harder than before.

    ^this.

    Section A were amazing for both but Sec.B for chem was :facepalm:. Bio Sec B had no diagrams but it was amazing for me since I suck at drawing.

    A huge problem/common trend I found was IB focused on smaller units. In my timezone, for the math exam, we had 3 calc questions altogether with 5-6 trig and 3 matrix (def awkward)

    are you talking about SL or HL? cz HL papers i found chem quite easy, and in bio i found section A the data response much more difficult than the rest of the paper
