I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I thought it was definitely the hardest paper I've done (have done all of the past papers since 2009) - strangely worded questions, loads of four and five-markers, and a few things that weren't even in the Student Book! Particularly hated the five-mark wire one... crossing my fingers for low boundaries now! :confused:

That one was super confusing - I just stated the length of orbit (in days) and described its path a little...

The ones I really despised were that moon one, the wire five-marker, and the ball stopping one. Hoping I got one or two marks in each...

I reckon I lost about 15-20 marks on this paper :frown:

If the grade boundary is about 140ish I need to do pretty well on tomorrow's paper to have a chance of an A*!

Just finished, found the paper super easy! Messed up one of the calculations but I don't think I lost more than one mark on that because I just made a tiny mistake. I'm thinking the grade boundary will be 135-140ish for A* :smile:

I found paper 1 quite easy and paper 2 harder tbh! Hoping for an A*, fel like it went quite well but I taught it to myself as I'm moving to South America (I'm english) and no one in my family knows physics so a* would be amazing :wink:

I found paper one quite hard, but paper two I found quite easy, but some of the things I'm best at came up, just hope that makes up the lost marks in paper one :confused:

Might be I posted in wring forum, but anyway...

I am taking the igcse edexcel chemistry exam in 2016. having seen the above situation in paper 2 for Physics", it may happen in 2016 Chemistry ( questions're different from all past papers used to be). As I am a self-learning student, can you guys advise me, besides the past papers, what other materials/book/exercise I should try?
many thanks!!!
