omg did any of you think that the actual audio recording was faster than the previous recordings..

Yes I thought it went quite fast, I found myself rushing to finish writing at the end of the written questions. Damn you AQA!

Many people at my school including myself found it hard... It is reassuring to hear that it was not just us. Here are some answers we got in answer to some of your questions;
The question about the job of the man I got: he works in a furniture shop. I also got too much cream in the desert, not enough sugar in the tart and the curry was too spicy (although my friends got it was actually cold) also the steak was too big and she was unable to eat it all or it was bloody or something along those lines
