Hmm it went actually good,
I walked in scared ngl,I felt like I would get 4 or maybe 5
But I feel like I might get a 8 or a 9
The only ones that got me bad were the caspi et al queation (My stupid bum forgot Bout the 5htt gene, nah I'm just on another level 💀)
And those darn 9 markers, I was doing the first markers in the last 5 minutes, nah time management is insane, I managed to do a little bit of the last question, only got about 6 points in, which might be wrong lol I feel like I might lose 20 marks minimum, like bare minimum, but now if I found it decent, I feel like the thresholds might be insanely high.
Ehh I hope all the people found it nicely and I hope your studies paid off, good luck to all, and respect to those who studied hard. Psychology probably made us go psychotic lol

It went pretty well; I knew basically everything (don't want to get too overconfident here) and the 9 markers were a breeze for me. The only question which kinda stumped me a little was Carol Dweck's weaknesses and strengths for her mindset theory, so I basically waffled on that. Blew straight over my head, lol. I forgot Caspi for majority of the test, and remembered it basically last minute so I was able to rush my answer within the last 10 minutes. Other than that, everything was nice! Hope paper 2 is as nice as this

i feel like lots of people found this easy?? or like okay does this mean the grade boundaries are going to be really high? i got a 4 in my mock but i didn’t revise for the mock soooo. but i revised quite a bit for the real thing and answered every question soo hoping for a 5 what did everyone else think?

im assuming edexcel decided to make exams easier this time around so they can increase the grade boundaries to the same level as the ones in 2019. we'll see though! hopefully they're nice haha

that’s what i want to get at least! i don’t want to get my hopes up too high. a higher grade would be amazing! but a 5 seems like a good mark to me i will hopefully get higher than that but if i don’t i won’t be as disappointed. x
