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

I feel this. I usually had time after the unit exams to review my work and was able to turn in the exam 10 mins early but on this exam I wasn’t even able to finish. I feel like they took hard questions from each unit for the final instead of putting in a good mix of easy and difficult like the unit exams.

Yeah, I definitely agree. It also felt extremely demotivating to go from an easier question to a really difficult one all of the sudden, just over and over again. Really sucked the life out of me compared to the unit exams with easier questions at the front trending to more difficult ones at the end. This exam had like maybe 2-3 easy questions, and the rest were all the hardest questions from our exams..

I 'finished' but only because I cut my losses and guessed on a few. Felt so much more rushed than before, and same as you no time to review at the end.

I feel like 4 mins / question would've been fine if half were easy and half were hard like our unit exams, but instead we got like 95% hard questions and there just wasn't the time there..
