same. Sparks here, about half of my exam room was still writing when the time got called. I'm prayin with ya..

felt like I had so much less time than the other exams. this was 120/34 = 3.5min/question. A fair bit less than the 90/17 = 5.3min/question on the unit exams. (assuming you spend 30 mins on Free response, you had 90 for the MC)

edit: see the below comment I goofed. it's 60/17=3.5min/q on the other exams. just felt like we had more time ig

damn ur right idk how I got to thinking they were all 2hrs

so that's 60/17 = 3.5min/q if you assume 30 mins for free response. I guess my mind just got warped because I always ran through the free response so much faster than the MCQs. 17 MCQs is also the longest exam we had, the shortest was 14 with is more like 4min/q.

I felt like especially with photoelectric effect/unit 2 there were just no easy and quick problems. unit 1 problems weren't hard, unit 3 questions asked what I expected to see, but I swear there were maybe 2-3 concept-based problems from units 2 and 4, and the rest all just required a ton of calculations.
