Nah it depends, if your doing only stem subjects your maths paper will carry the most weight(other skls do it this way). How many marks do you think you lost in the maths?

i dont know actually but i did leave a couple of questions and i reckon i made some silly mistakes.

Reply 19

I didn't leave any but Idk why but I struggled with the second half of the first page😂 and definetly got it wrong
