Yeah, dropped a couple of marks on the last question and the penultimate part of Q10, but fine other than that.

I think it went ok generally. Last question I got a value of x- I think it was the root of 27/4

Wow, great. I really found it a lot more difficult than any past paper I've tried. I had something down for every question, but did not finish 9, 10 or 11!

It's ridiculous, I did this one as a resit after getting a c last year in core 1, and the last 2 years have been nothing like past papers.
The same thing happened in physics too (also ocr)
OCR are screwing me over

I'm exactly the same! This was my rest paper! I usually finish past papers with a good 30mins to check for stupid errors but this used all my time. So hard. Twitter is comforting, everyone's pissed off
