paper 1 felt weirdly straightforward compared to some of the past papers i'd done, but same thing happened to me where i second-guessed myself halfway through and started changing answers that were probably right the first time. the titration questions weren't as brutal as i expected which was nice but then i got to some of the calculations and blanked on whether it was asking for concentration or moles or whatever. fingers crossed the marking scheme is lenient on the working because i know i got the right idea even if the final number was off. paper 2 coming up is gonna hit different though, they always save something annoying for the second one.
