I got 75 lol even though we barely got the A I'm still SO happy :'D My friend got full marks, I actually don't know how she's so good at chemistry xD

[Alotties]

I got 63 UMS, so that's a B
I don't know how that happened seeing as I was convinced I'd get a U.
I got the highest in my class too (yes, I go to a rubbish sixth form).

I thought I'd done better at this than Biology, but I only just scraped a C in this and got a A in biology :/ I think I'm going to resit in January next year.

[walkbesideme]

Got 90/90 on this
It was a resit since i'm now in A2 (Got an E first time around) but i'm still really happy since it was quite a difficult paper

I'm proud of your achievement
I got 77 UMS. Tbh I thought I failed because that paper was insanely difficult compared to past papers.

Yeah it was a horrid paper, i even ended up making the definition on the spot since i didn't know it - for a first attempt thats pretty awesome by the way, i flopped pretty badly on my first exams last year so you should be pretty proud of that

[Rorywilk]

72 UMS SCRAPED an A, not bad considering i thought id completely messed up the paper, it was sooo hard might retake next january depends on how unit 2 goes

[LosMutos]

Thank you
But still you did brilliant, it's not everyday someone gets 100% in chemistry at alevel

71 ums... 72 needed for an A. **** ocr. Retaking in may lol.

you can make up that ums in another exam btw. Final A level is just an accumulative total of all UMS. SO unless you feel you can get alot more ums than 71, then don't resit it. Or, if you are to resit it, i recommend resitting it next year in january, because of how the topics overlap.

[kezza103]

got 72ums, so just managed to get an A written down on my results. this paper was incredibly hard but so pleased considering im in the first year of sixth form. i was convinced i was getting a U. happy days!

If Anyone wants all the JAN 12 papers for biology and chemistry OCR A and B, heres the link:

[hassanakhtaruk]

i got a C...im resitting in may... hated that paper! >

[Alex Bampton]

I got a C, just off a B, the paper was very difficult but I was far too nervous / panicky in the exam I remembered the whole text-book and understood everything I scored 100% UMS in Biology so this was obviously a blip!

Hopefully the retake will be okay it's a fundamental module and so a lot of links in the next module will mean revision will be much more of a "refresher".

Well done to all those who performed well though :-)

can someone explain to me why sulfur has "7 full orbitals" I know its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Because on the 3p4 the electrons fill the orbitals up one at a time. So 3px2, 3py1, 3pz1. The only full orbital is 3px2.
