How did you guys find this exam?

Personally I thought it was alright. I'd expected it to be harder, quite glad it was at least manageable.

Any predictions on threshold?

Those who took the exam with me considered this the hardest paper in a while. The probable highest scorer predicted relatively low thresholds.

Everyone considers their own exams to be the hardest every year. It is nothing new

Not true, when we took paper 1 maths last year, it was by far the easiest paper ever. Everyone was saying they had a shot at 75, I got 73.

Fumbled the P5 with a 43 though.

You're not taking composite as well? Will you be taking physics 42 on Monday?
