OCR A Chemistry F324 Rings, Polymers and Analysis Thu 26 Jan 2012

How can you have finished it all off already?!

Can you help me on NMR Spectrocopy - the Proton one :smile:

yeah sure but it's hard to explain on computer. What I recommend is read through it a couple of times and if there's anything you don't get quote this post and tell me which part you don't get :smile:

I understand the concept but it's the exam questions that I struggle with. I'll post up a few this week, I'd appreciate it if you can explain it to me thoroughly :smile:

The F324 exam is going to be 75 minutes long this January (2012). Its always been 60 minutes before as it has 60 raw marks but I think OCR think more time is needed as many people complained about the timing this year. The same goes with the F325 exam. Its going to be 120 minutes instead of the usual 105 minutes... I think this is great news as the raw marks on each paper will stay the same :smile:

I need to get the hang of NMR Spectroscopy because I want to get an A/A* the first time and not even want the option to resit it! How far is everyone on the unit?

We've done the analysis chapter, and about 3/4 through the rings/acids/amines and also just started the polymers chapter too! So hoping our class is on track :smile:

Got a B on unit 2...3 ums off an A! I thought I did really well on it but oh well :rolleyes:

OMG you’re applying for chemistry @ oxford & imperial :eek:

Please share with us your methods of revision :smile:

Haha yeah

I'm a visual learner so I have lots of mindmaps, I stick notes on the wall next to my bed, I rewrite all my notes in class (i know...weird) and I use powerpoints from boardworks and knockhardy.co.uk :smile:

nothing special I don't think!

What people think is going to work for scraping A*!!!?
Got an A in all units except 4 (Arrrghhh it was a horrible paper)
My main weakness was not mastering the chemical equations and naming the catalysts..(basically all the stuff you only can memorise)

Hey everyone, really hoping to get an A* on this paper. Hopefully, I can memorise all content by end of this month and then practise papers/questions.

I don't know, the y12s have just finished unit 1 with the same teacher, so it's probably because of how good she is at teaching.

Helps there's only 4 of us in the group though.

Okay it might well be that as we have a new teacher not used to teaching OCR A... I hope it won't affect me :s-smilie:

hi guys! right i need help. Ive completed A levels and resitting chemistry as I got a B & need an A for my course.
F321 - 79 (A)
F322- 125 (A)
F323 - 50 (A)
F324- 54 (C)
F325 - 107 (B)
F326 - 40 (C)
Total: 455 (B)
I am re-sitting F324 & F325 in January, I need 25 more ums marks in these papers to get an A, how many raw marks do you think that is??? I have properly started revising today and a quarter of my way through the first topic of F324 (hope its not too late)
Anyone that can shed light will be a massive help!

Those are very good UMS scores, you should be able to gain those 25 UMS marks from the F324 and F325 papers. Remember that the examiners are more *harsh* at marking than ever before, if they can't read it, or don't like the presentation they can not award the mark(s). Alot of the emphasis is upon 'satisfying' the examiners mark schemes, strange but true.
