[As-level thread btw]

Helllooooo

Half term holidays have come up and so I thought we should have a chemistry post, where we can discuss revision techniques, exam predictions, potential grade boundaries and post exam chat.

Isn't it a bit early for exam predictions and potential grade boundaries? :tongue:

I'm going to watch this thread anyway though, as I do that exam board, might be useful near exam time. :tongue:

Added thread onto this http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3925187 so hopefully will get more replies :smile:

Have you made one for Paper 2 that could be added btw?
Made one of these for Paper 1, so why not one for this aswell. Only 10 weeks left till start of exams so we can discuss anything from revision to exam questions to grade boundary predictions .

Enjoy!

Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown:

Why not try posting in a specific subject forum- you might have more luck there.

Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses. :redface:

I was wondering since our upcoming chemistry exams are coming up if people wanted to be part of a chemistry whatsapp revision group. I guessing most of us use whatsapp so I guess it will be more suitable for everyone then. If you are interested either pm me or responded to this message
