Ah that's ok. I thought we need to know more than that. Thanks Zhy.
Also, what stuff like heating under flux and distillation?
This might help you. It was made by my teacher and really helped me last year. -
Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmThanks! Would rep you but I've given too much out. Have you sat this exam before?(Original post by chrisduck)

Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmLeast you appreciated it, I don't understand why someone has rated it down(Original post by EstebanK0)

Yeah I did it last year and am retaking all the AS's to get more UMS points... I got just under an A last year but I found it really hard. After doing A2 content its a lot lot easier.
Just do past papers, and the legacy papers and you should be fine.

I'm gonna start past papers next week as I've still got revision content to cover. -
Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmYeah. This might help as well, some is more than we need however;(Original post by Faaab:))
Guys can someone clarify for me that in the advanced notice, on page 4, the first reaction is propogation? 2nd is termination? cheers

Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmWhich questions did you find diffcult???(Original post by EstebanK0)
Did my first past paper today in class. Jan 12 is a solid paper :/ . It missed out on a lot of content which is most of the stuff that I've revisied. Need to do more revision. -
Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmWhich questions for jan 12 did you find diffcult???(Original post by megank)
ahh.. did the mock (jan 12) paper today in class and i think i failed ;( not a good sign seeing as the exam is in 2weeks!! has anyone analysed or make notes on the advance notice?

Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmi was 4 marks off an A... slightly annoyed :/ the advance notice questions were difficult... like the calculation and the last question(Original post by ManPowa)
Which questions for jan 12 did you find diffcult???
... thinking about it now i couldve done much better because i forgot how hydrogen bondings are formed and dipoles etc... urgh... need to do loads more revision

Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmYeah I just forgot on stuff like that but remembered again later in the mock. I didn't know how to answer why it had E/Z isomer.(Original post by megank)

Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmBut the last question you do not really have to do. My teachers gives us a mark out of 80 because the article is invalid and we just concentrate on our actual article which we will do in May and dont even look at ouR mock ones.(Original post by megank)

[QUOTE=EstebanK0;37349397]
Our college is reasonably good in my area, (we are a state school). We got 7 As ,including me, out of about 60 students doing chemistry in F331 and a few getting over 10 in each Skills test, I got 11,11,12,11. And i think I got 6/6 in Skills 1 (which will probably be scaled to 11 or 12).(Original post by thegreenchildren)
Same with my class. Only one person got an A. I got a C but will be retaking next year so I can focus more time on F332.
Good idea on focusing on F332, 150 UMS!!!!!
Edit: Anyone know how Skills one actually works??Last edited by david2457; 10-05-2012 at 17:46. -
Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmYea but my class still had to do it(Original post by ManPowa)

but its okay i guess because some of the questions were answerable without the article tbh... oh well... i wished our pre release was shorter tho... :/ its too long and takes time to scan through it in the exma

Re: OCR AS Salters Chemistry F332 - Wednesday 23rd May 2012 1:30pmSame actually and i found it quite difficult to draw the structures (the HCl) one(Original post by EstebanK0)
