    Try some nuffield, its really similar to new spec. Although you'll find some unit 5 stuff in unit 4.

    I got 38/40 in Unit 6, so all I need is a D grade in unit 5 to get an A.
    Well Done
    I was wondering where I can get the nuffiled past papers?! Can u get them online!? Coz I've looked but can't find anything !
    Plz I really need them ~
    I'm really struggling with the unit5 synthesis ;( what would be the best way to improve my grade in the next couple of weeks?!
    + thank you <\3 :*

    Thanks
    You can get nuffield papers from here :http://www.edexcel.com/i-am-a/studen...astpapers.aspx
    Make sure not to select GCE 2008, but instead GCE 2000, there you will find nuffield papers.

    For the organic synthesis, you need to remember all organic reactions, tests and synthetic techniques.

    Here are some resources you may find useful:

    http://www.mediafire.com/view/?bn7bctfbzaiygx5
    http://www.mediafire.com/view/?uqfvctua41vaea9

    If you want to improve your grade, learn and remember all the organic stuff(reagents, conditions, mechanisms etc.), relatively easy marks in my opinion.
    With the other topics, transition metals/redox, all i can say to you is take the time to understand them properly.

    Which textbook are you using?

    I use the Hodder Education textbook, the best in my opinion.

    I won't be too gutted if I get a B in Chemistry, an A would be sweet but I'm not pushing hard in chemistry. I need to get a B in biology otherwise there's no uni for me :lol:

    Someone told you to look at Salters papers? That's not good advice as OCR B papers are completely different to the Edexcel ones.
