It was far from ok for me and most of my class...it was definitely more difficult than last year's paper. Still think I got around 80-90 and hoping for a B.

Definitely, it was 97 for an A* last year, so I feel maybe between 93-95 for an A*. I got a B last year but I was aiming for an A this year after some resits, you?

That was like wading through a swamp made of hellfire hotter than a thousand suns. Nightmare doesn't even come close.

Hopefully I hang in there well enough.

Why yes I do. Summer 2012, Jan + Summer 2013 and Summer 2014 attached.

Note the drop in A* from 107/108 to 97 last year haha...so it will definitely be less than that this year.

That's not what I want to hear.

Jk, but yea it was tricky but most of it was manageable. I don't think anyone can deny that was the most difficult paper of recent years.
I don't even know what that was
Any answers?
How about the lattice enthalpy question?
