Chemistry Unit 2, 21st Jan 2010

i am sittin this if u are talking bout AQA yes.
well obviously revising the whole thing.
my weak areas for this paper iv gt to say is the easier stuff like remembering reacitons with halides -.-
spent so long on metal extraction last year and everything else then there was 20 marks i lost cos i just blanked on the halide reactions with h2so4 and silver and ammonia
I am sitting unit 4 on the 27th. i am poooing that :'(

Hey. anyone sitting for this paper? I didnt see a thread for edexcel so I thought I'd start one..
Any special areas anyone is revising?
did u guys sit for unit 1 and 3 as well? what did u think?

I'm resitting Unit 2 and doing unit 4 as well!

I think I'm alright with unit 2 stuff now, but unit 4 is gonna go unbelievably crap! I cant remember most of the mechanism, the calculations are difficult and the wording of the questions are rubbish too! In general, an all round fail

I did one as well as 3 1 was hardWW

Unit 1 wasnt hard for me surprisingly except for maybe some 1 mark questions here and there.. 3B was the harder one out of the two for me...

was it how much do expect for unit 1?

hopefully a high A... hopefully! or maybe just an A...

lmao, serious just nail unit 2 in the bum and ur'll be ok for a high B in unit 4.
now unit 4........... all im not to keen on is the first 3 chapters on kentics/reactions that type of crap. i think the next 7 on mechanisms are all nicely realated with just most of it being either electrophilic subs, or nucleophillic addition. as for polyermisation. iv always found that easy, even from gcse. so its not as bad as u may think. especially if u going for medicin, u will b smart enough to cope. i want to aim for an overall A in every subj, but chem its just....the exam can go for you, or really really against you

good luck which school are you from lol?

hey when ur trying for something as competitive as medicine, do resists count?

what was your AS results?

Well good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of us!
