Hey Anyone else doing this? tips on getting full marks? And does anyone have a good method for balancing equations because I can never get round to doing it and just leave it haha
bro i wish i knew how to get full marks, i've been doing past papers to the point where i know the mark schemes but considering the way last years exam was and that this year only A2 students are doing the exam, grade boundaries gonna be high and questions are gonna end up having A2 style to them.
I agree. I have got a feeling they are going to give us a tough paper!! So I doubt it's likely to get 100% because there's bound to be a few questions in there to trip you up.
Hi.. i got a C last year for chem unit 1 but say if something happens tomorrow and i do worse does the C still count - does highest mark go forward. Because that maths C1 exam was horrible. (edecxcel)

I was told that they don't make exams consecutively and that they're all pre made at the start before the spec is released so there's no bias in one year being harder than another. The papers are just appointed a year and AQA didn't know the spec was going to end 2016 so it's not like they saved the hardest paper for last because they didn't know this was going to be the last year.
That makes me feel so much better - its just that i heard exams have been hard this year .. but will highest grade still count even though last years grade was cashed in and so is this years grade for unit 1 which is tomorrow

good point but considering that last years paper was pretty solid i'm dreading this years paper, i feel like im gonna over think some questions where they are very likely to relate it to A2 questions, and under think others. add that to the fact im going to do unit 2 also adds to that tension.
Hey guys I am sort of confused about the products for incomplete combustion of alkanes. Is is it just carbon monoxide and water or, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water? Also what is the combustion equation for when carbon (soot) is produced?

Many thanks!
normally it CO and H20 so carbon monoxide, for carbon soot its just C and H20. Normally they will give what products were produced or indicate what the products effects are or they physical states so it will based on those questions.

they cant relate it to a2 stuff even if its only a2 students doing it.
good point but then can do unit 2 stuff ive done quite a few questions associated with unit 2 endothermic, decomposition reactions etc.
I think that the idea is that only unit 1 stuff can come up in unit one, then in unit 2 both units and in 5 all 6 units etc. So there won't be any random energetics questions

How did you guys fail last year? The foundation Chemistry paper (AQA paper 1) was the easiest paper from 2011-2015.
Did you let the stress get to you or what?
My mother is a pyscho, and funnily enough she's having one of her fits again. Not about the paper, it was about the situation. Determined to not let her get to me this year 🙈
