I dunno it’s different like I think to some extent there’s more thinking involved but one u get ur head round the qu it’s ok. I was gonna do chem section 2 but after attempting one past paper realised I can’t do the mental maths that quickly😂

I am also on the ran out of time train. Had 15mins to do Chem section 1 (which is my strongest section). Section 2 Chem plenty of time per Q, however 2 out of the 3 mins allocated was spent trying to read the damned thing. Never seen chem Qs so wordy. I think most people here could do nearly all (if not all) of the questions given enough time. It’s the time pressure that’s got us all.

I started on chem section 1, knowing I’m better at it than maths so wanted to use full 30 mins but that meant at the end of section 1 i had like 5 maths qus to do in 5 mins at the end which were pretty much guesses

I wish I had thought to do this, but knowing me I would’ve forgotten to go back to the maths section.
Chem 1 was meant to be where I scooped up marks. Ended up sprinting through 20Qs in 15mins because of my very unfortunate time allocation.

Got wayyy too focused on getting the right answer rather than clock watching.

yeah up to the night before I had done past papers doing maths first and didn’t even think to do chem first but then realised that if I wanted to get the marks in the section I can actually do it was probs better for me to do it first and make sure I defo had 30 mins for it. But yeah same for maths, I kinda forgot about the time and was tryna get them right but then the last few qus I had hardly any time to look at them

I did bio in both and I should’ve probably done chem section 2 bc bio was so hard 😬 I did bio section 1 first then maths and maths was awful but bio was meh. All of it was worse than all the practice papers and BMAT questions I did for prep so I have no idea how I did- hoping the grade boundaries were low!!
