I thought the paper was fairly nice if tricksy. Grade boundaries should by all rights be lower than usual because we have to take all the exams in the summer, so I'm sure we'll all be pleasantly surprised :smile:

Yah it wanted the reagents so conc h2so4 and conc hno3 and then the equation/s for form the no2+ then further down I think you had to do the mechanism of no2+ and benzene electrophilic sub


K, i think I forgot to put conc, :frown: i always make that mistake.

I did the same question from another paper the day before and didn't say conc so I made sure I corrected myself

Yeaah it said chlorobenzene unfortunately :/ you may still get marks for the mechanism though, would be harsh to give someone 0 marks if everything else was right


Ah that's ok. I think I'll only lose a mark for structure which isn't too bad. From how you found it, and having read this thread do you think boundaries for A* will go down from last year? ( when it was 88)
Sorry to be a pain but I'm on my phone and I'm not able to quickly find what I'm looking for. Could anyone link me to a mark scheme for this exam that has all associated marks and answers please? I feel it went well but I want to check so I'm not disappointed :smile:

Thank you but I've already looked at that one. It wasn't much use as the question mark values aren't complete!

How many marks for QoL? Like for part B I just wrote the answer to each part of the question rather than continuous prose so will I lose marks? :frown:


If they are read it and understand which answer is for which part you won't lose any marks :smile:

Hmm reckon the grade boundaries for an A* will go down by 1 or 2 maybe.. could even stay the same, but for other grades I think they'll go down by more. I thought the paper was ok, not particularly nice but not horrific, they tried to throw in some trick questions and twists but they were the type that you could see through and work out if you get me so idkk, its hard to call, it was slightly harder but I think there'll be enough people who were able to deal with the added difficulty
I personally felt this paper went well! It surprised me as I didn't feel 100% ready for it at all, I'd say I should have done more than a couple past papers and posters outside of teacher lead revision. I've added my marks up and I think I've gotten around the 88/100 point which I am completely shocked about. I was just hoping for a B in chemistry but it looks like an A could be a real possibility now :smile:
Could someone please link me to the markscheme(s)?

I didn't think this paper was too bad. It wasn't easy and there were definitely some sneaky questions, but I still thought there were many past papers worse than this one.

A little sneaky but was nothing insane. I think the real worry will be how far AQA decide to go with making Unit 5 hard and whether they play a sneaky role in that exam. :?
