YES LITERALLY ITS SO HORRIBLE and theres no indication to like which answer they want you to put its crazy 😭😭 but one thing i’d say is sometimes it says the right answer first and then they may say like oh and this leads to.. (and then they’ll say the rest of the option) or sometimes they may do the opposite and say all the other option and then end with the right answer but they’ll say and this is because of… and then they’ll say the correct answer. i find that this worked and made sense in most of the papers i did

In sha Allah goes well. Also any other non-Arabs even taking for Edexcel A-Level? Luckily the boundaries r low otherwise some of the stuff is so advanced it’s crazy. And then for translation u get stuff outside of themes like how should a non-Arab expect to know how to say foldable roof 😭. A* is tough man but gl to everyone

nah trust me even arabs that speak the lang couldnt say foldable roof😂
