Expert Review:
The overall difficulty level of the paper was average, with some questions in Sections C and D having an above-average difficulty level. The questions were concept-based and challenged the understanding of the students rather than their memorizing abilities. There were direct questions as well and their difficulty level was easy to moderate. If the student has adequate understanding and preparation, they should be able to attempt all the questions in the paper. However, the paper was somewhat lengthy."
