Honestly same, but maths was hard for me too. You know I can't even remember how I did on the test. Is it just me?

I see where ur coming from, but maths was doable. Numerical had Olympiad style questions only for like the 1% of people. For maths as long as u knew the formula it was easy.

Mate I have to say, that’s something I can’t relate to! I mean, I knew the formulas and stuff but at the moment and time I don’t even know what happened. I don’t know how well I did because I’ve literally forgotten! A lot of people found maths hard, but once again good job on doing it all :)

Same here! I forgot literally all the math formulas and the cells in my brain were somehow all died when I’m doing math...

It’s okay and thanks, I think testis also about stamina, I started very slow with verbal and numerical, and when writing started I WENT FOR THE KILL

Ranking from hardest to easiest
Reading comprehension: 💩💩💩!!! Just 3 questions per paragraph... that means more than 10 paragraphs in under 30 minutes! How I possible finish it on time ?😩
Verbal reasoning (Kerbal reasoning will be much better): ummm...🤯
Writing: narrative? Persuasive? Characters? Persuasive Techniques? Genre? Forgot about that, screw it.🧐
Numerical: seeking for patterns... pattern find, activate instant kill!🤓
Mathematics: pretty simple, mostly just calculations, no sophisticated algebra or any calculus. For most questions I just process them in my head, even without the need to write down. Finished 10 minutes before, nailed it 😎

Math and Numerical were easy for me. Verbal was good but I expected better. Writing and reading were hard

tbh numerical was the hardest for me as well. like the questions were all paragraphs. it took me some time just to understand the q's.
reading comprehension was much easier than i thought it would be, considering i'm not even that good at it.
maths was always my strength and this is wehen i went for the kill. but like the first few q's were easy and then it got a lil bit more harder tho.
writing was also pretty good, but i thought the topic was kinda basic and i struggled coming up with a good storyline.
verbal was fine. some were a bit challenging but i managed to get through almost everything.
