How did your BMAT go?

Anyone else find section 1 really difficult?
I struggled for time on both sections. At least the essay was okay...
So what are you expecting and how did it go?

section 1 was f******* deadly. Like I could feel my individual brain cells casually fading away. i guessed like over a dozen questions on section 1. Section 2 was meh.
Section 3 was very boring I wanted something more intense more stimulating. Topics were so dull i lacked inspiration.

I thought S2 was the worst, ran out of time so had to guess at least about a third of the question...

S3 was terrible as well...thank goodness I didn't end up applying to UCL.

Section 1 was probably the worst section 1 I've done. Section 2 was also terrible lol, i guessed a fair amount while everyone else seemed to find it easy. No idea what to think about my essay, I answered all parts of the question but am not sure about how well I communicated my points and sadly I did apply to UCL as well, so if my essay's crap, that's out the window and Oxford is definitely gone :/

I picked the third essay because it suited my strengths the most. Yeah that was the hardest section 1 I've ever done by far.

All of the Cambridge admissions tests have an embargo until November 24th. TSR is just following the rules.

No problem. If I remember correctly it used to only be until the day after testing but it seems like they’ve extended it until results. Very annoying, as I know how much I need to talk about exams after I’ve done them.
