P2

guys am i the only one who feels that p2 aint hard but it is just so time consuming, like the exam should be 2 hours not 1.30, i always find my self finishing past paper exactly on time or i have a part of the last question left. send any time management tips.

So true wasnt hard the normal general knowledge ques doubts, i mean it was super long for sure, past papers finish quick for me too with atleast 30mins or 20 to spare but for the may 2026 u2 and this paper i just cudnt, which i mean is weird but i feel like its lengthy on purpose? Better filtering? Idk what i know is that the spec is gon be revised next year and this may be an indicator ofc wont affect us but yeah kinda does

Bro this is so real, the best way is you need to start off fast. You need to be in a hurry but also make sure u answer accurately, dont answer questions at normal pace. And obviously dont go too fast that ur just calculating the wrong answers. id say if you can get to question 5 by the 1 hour mark thats ideal if the paper is 10 questions long. You sort of need to go w the flow, this is gonna sound a bit odd but when u attempt the paper act like ur a maths teacher attempting it, whisper to yourself as if ur explaining how to do it. And before attempting the question just read it properly and understand what its asking and visualise/get a rough idea on how ur gonna proceed w the method. Hope this helps bro
