GCSE 2026 WEEK 1 - Paper Difficulty Ratings

I have been doing polls after each exam in this subreddit. The averages are done by assigning each response a value, and calculating the mean.

The hardest paper this week appears to have been the Biology higher Triple paper. The easiest appears to have been the Computer Science OCR paper 1, with over half of respondents giving a "very easy" rating to this paper.
