Maths was by far the hardest part of the paper. Paper 1 Bio was unreasonable in text length (as ever), but not too difficult. I didn’t find Paper 2 Bio notably hard.

I thought the maths was hard and the biology sections were so much to read and take in within the timescale.
I found the maths mostly wasn't that bad? On all sections I ran out of time though, I did bio 1 and bio 2. Hoping that everyone nationally felt the same, because I only confidently answered about 60% of the questions and made educated guesses for the rest.

I feel so sad after the test. I don’t think I would get 50% in section 2.

Nah that’s still a 6 (using 2021 marks to score) and probably seven higher since this paper was harder. That’s still really good

Me too!!!
so so glad im not the only one, i did physics sections 1 and 2, ran out of time on section 1 and guessed so many of them. i definitely think it was harder than previous years but idk if that's the stress of the actual exam or not

Same here. It was brutal
I did the ENGAA and I think the section 1 maths and physics were done badly but the section 2 physics stuff was actually okay. Note that I think Nsaa physics and engaa physics are the same thing 🤤

exactly Phy sec 1 was the worst ig mat took most of my time. Does anybody have any idea of when the question paper might be released? Would really love to check the answers
Anybody had any news back yet?
