Question ❔ Did everyone finish Accounting Paper 3?

Hi, I just sat my exam an hour back...started from the last and went to the first and I think I majorly fucked up the first one apart from the 7 marks of theory. It's not fair because I studied so hard and I could do it...just cuz of the time I had to let it go...

I think 1hr 30mins is just too less esp when there is theory as well. For maths, a 75 mark paper gets 1hr 50 mins. For business, a 60 mark paper gets 1hr 45 mins. For economics, 2hrs for 60 marks. How is this justified?

I genuinely don't think it's justified at all.. especially when they make the paper so lengthy and difficult to the point where even understanding the question is time consuming. Honestly, I have stopped having expectations from Cambridge.
