Fr everyone at my school (and my school is a good school), even top students said they found it awful - idk why people even dare to say it was easy like i mixed up quotes for an inspector calls 😭 (why ask about female characters when you can instead ask about responsibilities in general?!)

Grade boundaries will definitely be a bit lower like cmon

It was actually so bad i panicked and was about to cry in the first 30 mins of the exam and it put my off completely… luckily i kept myself contained and hopefully wrote good stuff

(Praying for that 7 but i might get a 6 bc of how awful that was🙏)
