CCEA GCSE exams 2016 *official only CCEA thread*

ah thats nothing you'll learn it fine sure exam is in the afternoon

My sister did her chemistry last year and she just learnt polymers.etc a couple of hours before the exam and got an A!!!

Any predictions for 6 markers in chemistry tomorrow?

I have both tomorrow. Go us.

Anyone just doing triple award separate Chemistry unit 1 tomorrow??

You will probably be penalised but dw everyone was short for time in this exam, so the examiner might take that into consideration.

I wouldn't mind a cheeky salt preparation question. Quantitative chemistry you're like guaranteed the marks every time if you know what you're doing

A redox and/or a energetics 6 mark would be so sweet

wait, salt preparation? what is that? quantitative chemistry is fine you can literally know that m = n x RFM and be good.

its the two methods for salt preparation. The indicator method and excess salt + acid method. They sometimes ask marks on it (normally worth six)

uh we're on the same page, right? chemistry double award unit 2, right? the last time I heard about salts was in unit 1 and even then I have no clue what you're on about. I asked my friend to look it up in his revision guide and he can't find it.

ah, nah dude, I do triple award chemistry physics biology, it probably isnt in your course. sorry for the bother

how would a question on redox be six marks? all I know about redox reactions is that its when oxidation and reduction both occur. the bond making or bond breaking energetics question would be nice and id also like for effects of stuff on the rate of reaction.

I am afraid for the six markers. In C1 there were a lot of experiments and stuff they could ask 6 markers on but now they could ask anything. One of last years six markers was on the tests for substances like hydrogen, oxygen, CO2 and all. That seems like a real weird and easy six marker to me.
I hope they're kind. I've got most things nailed down I just need to go over the last few topics a bit more to know them well.

I must be the only person who wrote about question 3 for the essay questions lol. I wrote two and a bit pages on containment, korea, domino theory and vietnam. I really had to make it stretch though cause the question/s were pretty awful and NOTHING what like our teacher said they'd be.

Yes. I am repeating it because I got a B last year. I am much more confident this year and understand the course much more. Only spent a few days revision, most of it was straight forward and came back to me pretty quickly.

I just revised test for ions mainly. That's what I struggled with last year!
