Maybe it could potentially be a range of answers

Yes

how did you do? I haven't gotten mine, not sure if its because my result was horrible or my teachers are away on holiday

if you did get yours back already, the BPhO commitee must have sped up the marking by a lot compared to before lol, I was reading last years thread about them dragging the marking into february

I also agree it was harder than last year, went decently regardless and luckily wasn't as difficult as some of the past papers!

I found the paper alright, did 3 of the problems fully but couldn’t finish off question 4. Were you able to complete all problems?

I didn't like question 4 either lol and had to skip parts of it, I finished question 1 but skipped some of 2 and 3, hopefully that's still good enough for something!

True, on a side note i’ve heard that a high silver could get you an IPhO camp qualification

Yeah, they probably take it similarly to getting into R2, where a Gold in R1 but with some signs of good problem solving could get in. It could also be because they look at both R1 and R2 for camp, so maybe they performed really well in the first round but it's all just speculation tbh. Just hope for the best!
