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

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

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
