OCR - AS - Mechanics exam, how did it go?

Nobody has created a thread for it, because the new spec, but for resits. How did it go. I found it very easy but I ran out of time, which makes me so angry because it was so easy at the end. How do you guys not run out of time?

Yeah I thought it was ok. I didn't run out of time this year, but I did last year. Overall I'd say that it was good. There wasn't really anything I didn't know, although I did misinterpret the motorbike question, as I didn't twig that the cyclist had the engine ignition ON. Thought it was ROLLING down the hill, so I woulda got the statement and accelerating force question wrong.Hopefully it'll be an A this time.And unfortunately, yes, the last question was no problem at all 😓. I'd say the key is to just cut your losses at any question you don't immediately know the answer to and be consciously aware that you need to he fast.
