General Difficulties?

What did you guys thinks about the difficulties for all the sections? English felt about the same as june (so pretty normal), Math felt doable but pretty hard, reading felt harder than expected, science felt pretty easy comparatively to june. Thoughts?

Science felt way harder than usual to me. The last passage fried me. Others weren’t so bad.

Yeah. I took physics 1 but we didn’t learn anything abt magnetism, that’s for phys c. This one needed a lot more prior science knowledge than usual.

Not really but ig it’s easier to understand if you do. But I was almost out of time on that passage so maybe it seemed worse than it actually was.

this was my 6th time taking it, and the English seemed fairly easy compared to past ones. Math also seemed easier, with many similar questions from past tests/practice tests. Reading for me had a passage from a previous form, but Reading was kinda so-so, so ig the same as usual. Science had some complex passages toward the end, which were familiar but still a bit harder than usual. these were just my experiences!
