    Need some guidance for AQA Unit 1 Chemistry (New Spec)
    Hi Y'all.

    I'm sitting Higher Chemistry AQA Unit 1 in June.

    Can anyone that has done the Chemistry Unit 1 before give me tips on questions that popped up?

    Thanks

    thing is, there are no past papers for the NEW spec

    I need someone who has done one of the new spec papers to tell me what popped up and in what format (questions etc.)

    There is a specimen paper if you haven't seen it: http://store.aqa.org.uk/sciencelab/A...M-W-SQP-1H.PDF

    It's really frustrating when you are one of the first to sit a new syllabus. I would recommend that you print off the syllabus and look at what topics are covered. Then look at the legacy (previous syllabus) papers and see how the questions were structured on that and try to answer them.
