    Completely agree! Most of it is just kind of common sense, and even if you're not 100% on a question you can give it a go. The way I see it is that it's more points for the UCAS application, and it's worth doing as well as I can. Surprised at the lack of effort some people showed

    I actually thought the exam was harder than expected. I looked through previous exam papers to see what has came up throughout the years and it seemed a lot more simpler. I was a bit surprised.

    Same! I was daydreaming half way through thinking I had all the time in the world lol. I ended up doing half of the last 15 marker and half of the 25 marker.
    2 incomplete essays aha, that's my A gone
    It does seem that you do have loads of time! By the end of section A I looked at the clock and I had 25 minutes left which made me worry and led me to read the forms of protesting question wrong. So I was writing about pressure groups. D: Although I did realize that it wanted form of protesting, so I hopefully made up for it.
