The paper doesn't seem too bad but neither of them do when you're not doing it as a final exam. Lots of silly errors that people can make and by people I mean me, small minor things but it's a lesson learnt :smile:

I think it's OK when you're not panicking thinking 'This is whats standing between me and uni omg no second chances omg' haha

Gonna keep at the papers until I'm getting above 90 on most, as I'd probably lose about 10 from mistakes...

52, absolutely awful!

Resitting it this time round and feeling a lot more confident with all the synthetic routes now.

Been working out what I need for an A, I got 71 in F321, I'm thinking I've managed about 120 in F322 but if not original was 116, 52 in F323 and my teacher told me she's estimating 50 minimum for my F326.

So I need minimum 193 between these 2 units, which I could manage with 139 in this unit (doubtful!) or 70 in F324 and 120 in this...

Pressure lol

You on track for your offer?

Hmm it's tough :frown:

I need a B overall, still on a C I think. But I think I can manage it. I got a D on F324 due to silly mistakes - called my paper back.

I did the same haha, I was reading it like 'what drugs was I on when I did this?'

The worst one was deciding that a cyclic dimer would form a straight chain alkene when you added another dimer what :eek:

I don't even know where that came from!

I never get those types of questions, that's how I felt. It was a reasonable paper and I should've got atleast a high C/borderline B on it but I let myself down big time.

I like F325, more maths :colone:

I think half lives too, in a 'identify the order of x, y, z' then constructing equation and finding constant and such :smile:

My teacher did a list of each topic saying how much it was on the last exam (I'll find it and stick it on here later) and she stuck a big star next to the graphs for each order so I'm thinking she agrees :wink:
