i already know this is going to be a horrible exam

i feel like they might make paper 1 harder this year and paper 2 easier - much like what edexcel did last year. I cant lie i dont know which way i would want it around.

Yes that’s what I was thinking but I don’t think it will be tooo hard cos of what happened last yr.

I reckon it'll be better then last year because my teacher said that aqa was fined or smth becuase of how difficult the papers were.

Reallly??? I didn’t even know that was possible lol and why tho grade boundaries should’ve reflected changes in difficulty? Also does that mean this yr grade boundaries will go up ?

I didn't either 🤷 until she told us. I guess so because last year it was AQA 50% for A which is at least a grade lower then it is normally

Does anyone know if it’s okay to write answers in bullet points (e.g. for longer answers)? I want to because I struggle with timing but I’m not sure.

Yeah I think it’s alright, as long as you write down what you need to get the marks and the punctuation is good, but don’t quote me 😭😭
