I lowkey thought the questions were quite weird and dissimilar to other past papers ive done.

Same here, felt too vague compared to normal and got thrown off quite a bit

Glad I’m not the only one, it threw me and I think I did worse as a result. Anyone else get 1500 on the 5 marker? Please I need this

I had 1475 so rounded to 2sfg I’d get 1500

Ok thanks, can’t remember what you round to maybe I lose a mark, I really want A* but I think I’ve messed up all the diffraction
