    Seconded. I went into the exam hall feeling confident - I'd done loads of past papers, scored well throughout the year and really knew the content. I came out of the hall wanting to hit something/collapse in a heap.

    Didn't help that there was a fair amount of pressure on it for me either, I needed to get as close to 100% as possible to rectify my ISA.

    EdExcel C4. I don't know why, it wasn't a particularly bad paper compared to previous ones, but my mind went blank and I messed up badly

    A2 Gov and politics. The subject is a doddle and for the past three exams it's been a breeze, then I was kind of expecting a nice easy end to A-levels and it was pretty tough.
    What exam board are you?

    Thankfully they seem to have been fairly nice this time around but OCR Physics B G492 was my hardest.

    In order of worst three;

    3rd = WJEC French Listening - Very poor tape
    2nd = WJEC Physics 2 - Meh, many ridiculous mathematical questions
    1st = WJEC GCSE Maths - Paper 2 - I despise Sine and Cosine rule ^^
