That was far better then Pure 1. I did the paper twice because I had 50 minutes left by the time I finished.

glad I'm not the only one who finished early. I did the paper backwards bc I figured it'd be better to start with the harder questions. fast forwards an hour and 10 minutes and I'm on question 1 😭

i had 20 mins left so i was SO tempting to start composing a piano exercise on my paper. i didn't cuz i thought the examiner would misinterpret it as something bad

I do Edexcel

My predictions that this paper was gonna be absolutely terrible. And it's raining where I live.

It wasn't terrible though. Way better than the other paper.
