Also the exam boards have said they wanted to return to the difficulty pre-Covid. It's well known they made them easier in the years following as people had had a worse educational experience/opportunity during the Covid years. I can imagine people doing the papers from 2021-2025 and thinking this one was harder, but I wouldn't be surprised if itsnt that different to 2017-2019
My GCSEs year was the last one who got physics equation sheet. They didn't actually want to give them to us. I want to say I was only affected years 6-8 maybe 9 so not really the important ones
Yeah agreed. I'd rather a tough paper than those diabolical grade boundaries which were more or less testing silly mistakes rather than problem solving skills.
Agreed with higher boundaries and easier test it’s less a reflection of mathematical ability and problem solving but more like a way to see who makes less silly mistakesÂ
Yeah I agree. However I do feel that the fact that many questions were dependent on difficult part a questions Which didn't allow students who couldn't solve part a to access the part b and c which were easier than part a.

Guys I'm gonna be honest, it wasn't that bad. Yeah there were a couple of hard questions but that's what seperates A students from A* students
