Especially due to the limited amount of time

Really? I thought compared to past papers the difficulty was easier like SIGNIFICANTLY. The hard thing was time pressure which means the PAT is gonna become more like the Cambridge and Imperial entrance tests. "yay"

Did people manage to complete all the questions? Personally had to guess about 4-5
No chance. I guessed a couple and left 2-3 "unfinished". You have to be really quick if you finished all of them

Why would you leave some unfinished?

they probably ran out of time, I had to start guessing qs in the last 40 seconds and didn’t manage to answer them all

Yeah honestly the questions were significantly out of proportion with the time limit

I think that was the point of it though realistically, like if you consider the questions you did answer in the time you'll probably feel pretty confident, this is probably just Oxford's way of spreading out our scores. I haven't seen anyone say that they completed every question without guessing in the time let alone be able to check over previous answers. easier said than done but all we can really do now is wait and see
