Alright, so I have been doing P31 for a while now, but recently came to realize that I will be taking P32. I didn't make much of it, since I had already completed the most recent P31 papers, I decided to take a look at P32.. I couldn't believe my eyes, the questions were just far more difficult than P31. Why is that??

Just relax! Just learn to solve the questions, i mean to know how a question is solved, if the exam paper is hard, then the threshold will decrease as well... The threshold is high for the easy papers....

High threshold can get you B instead of an A even if you paper goes good, and vise versa :)

Are you sure the threshold doesn't involve the average boundaries of all papers combined (i.e 31,32,33)

Lol this makes me feel a bit better. I wonder why P32 is harder, though. I mean, the grade boundary speaks for itself. It is lower by six whopping points. That's 8 percent of the total paper.

Wow! Thats really good! The more you practice, the better you get with it, similarly the more you work hard, the sweeter the fruit is....

A* = sweetest fruit, just like it came directly from heaven
A = sweetest fruit, but grown on earth
B = good fruit
C = a fruit that is just good enough to get rid of your hunger
D = a fruit that is sour, but still eatable
E = a very sour fruit, barely eatable
U = f*ck it! You ain't getting any f*ckin fruit!!!

No, its never enough, but you must not over-stress yourself, my advise is to just solve 2 or 1 papers per day till the exam day...
Don't study anything right before the exam as this can make you feel tired before the exam....

And about you being suffocated or confused, its just that you are stressed, you must do something that helps you to relax....
Like in my case, in order to relax, i put on my ear phones to listen to some music and light up a cigarette...

There is nothing much to worry about, when the paper is harder, the threshold is lower...
Im appearing for paper 32 as as well, and the best part is that there is a mark for almost every step you write... If you are not able to solve the question then just write the initial steps because something is better than nothing...
And this way inshallah we can reach the threshold for A easily, or B atleast.... :D all the best and pray for yourself and me as well :)
