    Thank you for the unofficial mark scheme, my marks came to 90 so hopefully that will be enough for 130+ ums.

    The poll doesn't mean that much I guess, certain kinds of people use TSR so I wouldn't base grade boundaries off that.

    Thoughts on grade boundaries by the way? Hopefully nothing like last years, 98 raw for full 140 marks :O!

    ums mark is 1.4 coz the paper was out of 100 and the ums marks are out of 140. 100x1.4=140 therefore one mark is 1.4

    Would we get a mark for writing 2 (o) for the oxidation instead of 4(o) ??

    Anyone know if these following answers are correct?

    3)a) 2/24/24/12 ---- is this the correct balancing of the equation?
    6)b)ii) tetra fluoromethane is more stable.---- I'm sure I've read this in a mark scheme in a past paper
    9)b)iii) the benefits outweigh the risk.---- says this on syllabus, but about chlorine instead

    Probably not :/ I did the same mistake, and ended up writing H2 as the by-product.

    6)b)ii) tetra fluoromethane is more stable.---- I'm sure I've read this in a mark scheme in a past paper. Yea, there was one like this, but it says from the mark scheme, 'the only halogen bonded to carbon is flourine'.. maybe that's also one of the alternative answers.
    9)b)iii) the benefits outweigh the risk.---- says this on syllabus, but about chlorine instead
    Yahoo!

    Could you check my previous post from the previous page to see what you think? Thanks!

    I agree with all your points

    1e) was the question with step one and two, and wanted an overall equation. The equations had hbr (I think) which cancelled out.

    8a) I did wrong. I wrote it produced bromine, an glucose is a renewable source.

    judging by the fact that most of the people on TSR found it quite a challenge suggests that the grade boundaries will be quite low but i dont think they will be really low.78/100 for an A im guessing ,prob 69/100 for a B
