omg that paper was garbageeee

i did perception and sleep and dreaming but i didn't have enough time to finish any of the essay questions :frown:

i don't know how edexcel expected people to finish 2 9 mark questions and a 12 mark question as well as bunch of other shorter questions within just 80 minutes, wtf? i do igcse sociology and we get an hour and 45 minutes for a paper where you have to do two eight mark questions and two fifteen mark questions.. the grade boundaries better be low 🙄😩

Well my teacher said not to worry coz the whole paper will be scanned... so they will end up seeing which sections you do either way... And it's not like its our fault coz we expected the layout of the paper to stay the same. The paper is going to be marked electronically but the whole paper will be scanned. Who knows... I'm hoping it doesn't really matter
