Ever expected to get a B after an Edexcel A Level exam, but turned out you got an A?

In many exams in Edexcel International A Levels, especially Chemistry Unit 5, Biology, F2 etc. are *****y. Edexcel's Mark Schemes are in my opinion super *****y, and they require writing points which even an autistic person would understand. Sometimes they give a whole question paper with too many conceptual and application question, that a person who blindly memorised the book would fail the exams.

So often I hear many good students coming out of the exam hall feeling cooked or deep-fried. Is there anyone who left the exam hall feeling cooked or deep-fried, thinking that you might get a B, or even C, but turns out you got an A or even A*?

[Needless to say, June 2024 IAL Edexcel exams are giving people a brain stroke, at least in my country]
