Cheers for the resources :smile:

If you were to recommend some key areas to revise now, what would you suggest?
I'm just about to finnish all the past papers, with varying degrees of success? :/ This could honestly go either way for me.

Hi, does anyone have a resource which has all the exam type questions answered, e.g. on trends and bonding etc... because they seem to come up all the time and it would be helpful to have a set of standard answers to revise from

many thanks

Hello guys :smile:

All the best for tomorrow :smile:

I already did this exam in January and got a B due to silly mistakes...but I retook it merely to try my luck for an A which I doubt I'll get because I've been so lazy to revise!

I just wanted to ask, what is likely to come up?

Im screwed.

Good luck guys! :biggrin:

That was an easy exam! So much better than Biology.
Boundries are going to be high most likely...
I made one stupid mistake, that is I put brown precipitate instead of yellow for the chlorine

What did everybody get for the bond angles question? I wrote 120 for the first one and 109.5 for the second one I think. I wasn't sure so I just guessed.
