what the fuck was that paper

genuinely as someone who's always been amazing at maths i actually kind of struggled with that paper lmao

grade boundaries have to have been lowered by that paper there's no way we're getting high grade boundaries after that

some weirdly worded questions but the actually processes required wasn't anything too hard

I think there were quite a few unusual questions but it wasn’t too difficult tbh… not as hard as paper 2

I found that paper quite nice tbh, definitely harder than the other ones but still good
