It had some questions that our teachers had already included in pre-board papers, so we knew how to answer those. Further, the paper was a little bit lengthy for me, but I managed to complete in time. The difficulty level was average to be honest, not too difficult but not easy either. The case studies had one question from passage; the rest 2 questions were from the book only.”
