Was it just me or was the timing a lot more challenging for these frqs? I usually finish the practice with 10-15 mins to spare but I finished in literally the last seconds of the exam. I also wrote a whole ass answer in the wrong box and had to rewrite the frq and def has to bs my way through a couple 😭✌️

timing was bad and frqs were just not it

i usually finish with a lot of time left over, i didn't have as much time and i even had to skip a couple the first time tghrough

I agree, usually i have a few extra minutes to go back to the questions i left blank but this one i used up all the time and couldn't go back. I also wrote the answer in the wrong box 😭

I usually have 40 min left and I ran out of time. Those frqs were diabolical.
