Pretty good to be honest.
I did lose some marks for sure, but overall it went better than I expected it to.
I hope the grade boundaries don't rise too much
How did you find it? :h:

The questions were incredibly nice however me and the majority of my class failed to complete all the questions in the 2 hours, i missed out an 8 marker just to focus on the 12 marker and even then i didn't finish it.

the timing was pretty poor I started writing about the social key question instead of cog so i wasted like 7 mins there, that cost me spending a lot of time on the 12 marker and the 4 mark graph i missed ;-(( other than that I answered everything fairly well I feel,

I got a value of 2.98 or something like that for Chi squared and the observation one I panicked so I said it was a structured naturalistic covert participant(probably wrong) observation.

-don't even remember now , but I rushed as well)

Yeah I got that for the maths and then found that it was not significant. I put covert observation

I thought they exam was really nice and could have been so much worse. I didn't like the phrasing of the Section E 8 marker with Assess how far. Normally they ask Evaluate, Assess and To What Extent so that was like two taxonomy words into one so I did a little but of both.

Needed one more AO2 point for the Cog Key Q and wrote 3 paragraphs and a conclusion for the 12 marker but besides that answered everything fairly easily.
