How did you guys find the Westminster PHYSICS and CHEMISTRY exam???

I Did the big 4 subjects, maths, further maths, chem and physics... and when I TELL YOU THIS, i MEAN IT. CHEMISTRY WAS BY FAR THE WORST EXAM. NOTHING MADE SENSE... section A was alright, sort of but i still struggled with it BUT SECTION B... I Only answered like 1 question cuz i spent too long on section A. Physics was so hard too, im so cooked. How did you guys find it????

Bro chemistry was so so hard.. out of 40 Id be surprised if I get 30. How was maths for you?

I got SO COOOKED for chemistry. section A was fine but section B i did Q1 and Q2 at first, then decided Q2 was too hard and switched to Q3 (when i had 5 mins left), and left like half the question blank

BRO physics was so much worse than chem for me idk how to answer two of the Qs one of them was a 4 marker and I also couldn’t do the last one because my dumb ahh spent too long on the calculation questions(might’ve still got them wrong) so I just made up some working and guessed the answe💀. I’m NOT exaggerating you guys probably are just stressed but I AM COOKED I’d be suprised if I even get over 70% or maybe 67%

You should be fine because they only take in the two sections you got the highest on

same! surprisingly i found the last question easier than the others, but i feel like i did something wrong.... because especially since its the last question, it shouldnt have been easier than the others

i spent so long on section 1... that i didnt quite get the chance to finish the 3rd question... and also my mind went so blank. I forgot so many things so i couldnt answer a lot of Section 1

How did they compare to the BPhO intermediate physics challenge / senior physics challenge/ junior chemistry challenge / C3L6?

Tbh I’m now starting to think I didn’t do as well on chem because ppl were saying it was not good😭. Cl even if you did get like 70 on chem your chances are still very high unlike me because there are at least two bad ones(physics and bio) and two alright ones(maths and chem).

I kinda forgot but I think I got q- , m for P and I think P was q+. Really dont remember... but all I had to do in that question was to trial and error and ig substitute different answers to see which works

righttt! i think i got the first question to physics wrong.... i was so stressed i read the questions and some words wrong... eg i was rushing for physics and they asked the unit for pressure, but i read it as power and circled Watts! oof!

Good thing you didn’t take physics!
