The exam was a lot easier than previous years so it will be higher in my opinion, I'm hoping for an A though.

Really? Many people in my school thought it was average, maybe even harder than some past papers. I would say between 61 and 64 for an A.

I honestly thought it was a lot easier than some past papers, it may just be because it had more of the stuff I was better at in it.

I too thought this exam was quite easy. What are your thoughts on the unit 1 exam? Easier than unit 2?

Unit 1 was so much easier, this year feels like the easiest year ever. The only one I'm 100% sure I got wrong was the one with the triple bonded nitrogen I think.

Having checked the official mark scheme, I realised I dropped lots of silly marks for the unit 1 paper and I feel that lots of other people would have done so too.

triple bond nitrogen? Did you do International A levels?
It wasn't in my UK paper

No, there was this on the paper. It was a triple bonded something, may not of been Nitrogen but it was on the last page, you had to draw the movement of electrons during bonding.

I done UK AS-Level paper.

And you are talking about unit 1 right? For non +5hrs R paper or international paper, last question was about enthalpy change

You probably did R paper because the UK paper had nothing about triple bond in the last question and it was entirely enthalpy change

You don't do Enthalpy changes in unit 1, and I'm not even sure it was triple bonded, I just remember bonds and arrows to draw.

Are you sure you did Edexcel because Edexcel unit 1 always has enthalpy calculation and very last question this year was energy level diagram
