1 Being easy and 10 being really difficult;

Edexcel RE 5 (Paper 2 was easier than the 1st)
Edexcel French 6 (Reading was ok but the listening was quite hard at times)
OCR Maths 6 (The papers itself was alright but I made some silly mistakes)

AQA English Literature 7 (Poetry...)
AQA Biology 7 (B2 was difficult but the other two papers weren't as bad)
AQA Chemistry 5 (Exam was easy in my opinion)
AQA Physics 6 (Found P2 difficult but P3 made up for it by being simple)
Edexcel PE 7 (The 6 markers were terrible..)
Edexcel Business 6 (Some weird questions but it was not too bad overall)
Edexcel ICT 7 (Some weird terminology)
OCR B Geography 5 (SDME was good and the case studies in the key themes exam were amazing! Didn't know the exam was worth 99 marks until I did it)
AQA Further Maths 8 (Paper 1 Done, half the questions were doable but the other half were really difficult)
