Tsa 2024

How did everyone find the TSA yesterday?
For me, the section 1 was harder than any i’ve done, the PS in particular, and it was very time pressured. I ended up having to guess around 6 questions which I’ve never had to do before.
What are everyone else’s thoughts?
i thought the CT was wayyy more challenging than past papers - there were very few where i felt the answer was obvious . started getting tight on time around q35, so ended up guessing about 5 qs as well
Until question 30 it was manageable but afterwards the maths questions started getting way too hard. Most people are saying it is harder so the cutoffs for interviews should be lower though.

Same some of the section 1 maths questions especially in the second half were really hard, I also ran out of time and had to guess the 5 end questions (in my practices have been fine for time), glad to hear other people also feel this way though cause I panicked over it ☹️
I didn't mind the section 2 though
Terrible…hope I still have the chance to get into interview. I finished the first half within 40 mins but when I came to Q35 there was only 30 minutes left(and I actually skipped some questions that I couldn’t work out straightaway, thinking I could come back to them later)I even thought the system went wrong cuz I just can’t believe I am going to run it of time

I found the multiple choice insane. im trying to remember the essay questions so I can tell my teacher, I remember the one I chose which was the one about duty and talent. can anyone remember any others?
