It might be all the things they’re removing (don’t take my word for it) - Zimbardo, Sleep Wake cycle etc

it could hypothetically be 4 (one in each section) but it’s usually no more than 2 or 3

think this exam is going to be hard since we are the last people to do the exam on this specification, also 2025 was quite decent so we might be cooked 💀

Have belief within yourself- the grade boundaries tend to plateau or increase by one or two marks at maximum especially if huge amounts of content hasn’t been removed yet! Remember all of the preparation, the practice tests, the mocks, the constant hours you have put in for this A-LEVEL will pay off. Wishing you the best for results day brother!
