Re: AQA AS Chemistry UNIT 1: ISA RevisionWow, well done if you get that score!(Original post by AmyLH)
Think it went well, tbf the sheets my teacher had gave me had all the answers on it
Would be pretty pissed with myself if I didn't get 30/30
Mine's tomorrow at about 11, eek!!

Re: AQA AS Chemistry UNIT 1: ISA RevisionI did well in it, but do let me know what you get as it seems as though you may have done better than me. And if that is the case, I'm going to be pestering you for all the stuff your Chemistry teacher gives you, as mine is appalling.(Original post by AmyLH)

Re: AQA AS Chemistry UNIT 1: ISA RevisionGood luck
Aww, they prepared us really well for it, mostly because we only do one a year (so only get one chance). Next year I'll send you anything I get given if you pm me(Original post by Tullia)

Re: AQA AS Chemistry UNIT 1: ISA RevisionI'm unlikely to do the 2nd ISA as I've got what will be an A in the 1st ISA anyway and a solid CHEM1 score, but my College does do both the ISAs.(Original post by AmyLH)

It does help those that don't do too well first time around, as we did get a few low scores for the first one. It's frustrating for me though, as it means at least two lessons will be used up covering the practical and written paper for that ISA when I'll be wanting to push on with CHEM2 content.
How much have you covered of CHEM2 so far? I've got a feeling that we're lagging slightly behind due to a few students slowing the pace of the lessons right down, but it could just be me thinking too much into it.
And I'll be sure to PM you. So thank you for that.

Re: AQA AS Chemistry UNIT 1: ISA RevisionIf you get anything higher than 22/30 (42/50 overall- basically higher than me), then I beg of you to send me those chemistry papers you got from your teacher (for titration). I just want to see if I could have done better if I had it(Original post by AmyLH)

Congratz if you do get an A

Re: AQA AS Chemistry UNIT 1: ISA RevisionExternally Marked Practical Assignment (EMPA)-> Practical Skills verification (PSV) = If that's the ISA your doing, then revise the past papers from Route X.(Original post by TheGreat1)
whats the difference between an ISA and a EMPA?
Some colleges/schools do this, it can also be given to students who have missed the practical section (no repeats), and basically the resources for the practical are on those papers. Or, a college may not want to do the praticals (e.g= too many students), therefore just make them do a test paper.
The other paper series, is the Route T. It's marked Internally. So your teacher gives you a mark out of 9 (an example) for PSA (usually most school give 9/9, unless you totally messed up your ISA). Then you just do the written paper. Section A is on your based on your ISA and section B is a resource which somebody else has done (similar experiment to your own).

Piss.
Did you mean Piss easy? lol.

Which AQA AS Chemistry ISA series surrounds past papers for the Halogens Topic?
Thank you.
The route T past papers + reading about 3 diffeent chemistry books (making notes and making sure I can do all enthalpy change questions) + just google/youtube searching...
I don't think the experiment I will mess up (not getting full marks), and my actualy paper will a couple of days after the practical (so I will know what to specifically search after then). Anyways, that's what I'm going to be doing....Last edited by r88ney; 03-04-2012 at 00:09. -

Thank you, but I was told the wrong topic
we are doing Group II and Enthalpy Change can you link me for those?
& the links that will help for the 'how science works' questions.
Please and Thanks! -

Re: AQA AS Chemistry UNIT 1: ISA Revisionyes i have.(Original post by Ethan1)
Has anyone sat the January/February as chemistry ISA yet for 2012?
Would be pretty pissed with myself if I didn't get 30/30
