Actually, the Mathematics and Economics were very bearable and simple in my opinion compared to other years. Though I’m not sure what my result will be, I’m very positive because it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be
All of my subjects (Use of Eng, Govt,Crs and Literature) were easy I finished in 1 hr 2 mins. And i had enough time to go through my answers 😊
Actually the exam is very difficult,I wrote mine today and what I experience is that the English question are very clear but mathematics, physics and chemistry are bunch of hard questions that you can’t attempt to them.despite my consistent preparation I ended up doing tick and go.to those who haven’t write there’s let them push hard this is the chance you have
The exam was very tough, especially physics, chemistry and mathematics only English is manageable. I don’t expect it to be that hard, non of the book that I read came out.
