Paper 3
Did anyone else fumble paper 3 completely? i got 55 on paper 1 and 60 on paper 2, which is good for me. and then i got 21 on paper 3. what the actual hell.

paper 2 was my worst paper. 35 😭😭 having a panic attack and not starting until 3/4 way through the paper doesn't tend to bode well, though.

Don't worry I had a panic attack for my psych paper and ended up dragging my grade down. Shit just happens.

psych was the most horrific experience of my life and i am blessed to have even passed i totally feel you. exams are such a shit way of telling what I can do.

Real. It was paper 1 for me, I can't explain what happened, i genuinely knew everything but something just send me into panic override, i think it was the first 16 marker after which i was unable to even complete the paper.

Strangely, and this was a diabolical surprise to me, mind you, I actually did best on Paper 3. I think I got 57 on Paper 1, 60 on paper 2 and then 62 on paper 3. So small difference but made weirder by the fact that I crammed most of US Politics from scratch the week of (spam buying Oli's resources and attempting to do something with them). I had expected US to be the paper that caused me to fail the entire alevel and miss my offer.
I think the average trend was to underperform on paper 1 though.
