yes, my bad! completely forgot this was for paper 1 and not 2😭
as for paper 1, probably some sort of ph question whether it’s buffers, strong acid, weak acid or strong base. There’s almost always some sort of transition element colours question and some redox too

it obviously depends on how the cohort does but it will most likely be similar to pre-covid years

not sure if papers for three science subjects are written by a similar group of people?

i heard physics and further maths were the hardest in years too, it’s probably not relative but stem seems harder than previous years so far

Anyone know how they will adjust the grade boundaries considering the 30 mark differences for an A 2019-2022?

Ive been thinking the exact same lol im interested to see what they do cuz it seemed chemistry had such a big drop in the grade boundaries yet ocr biology grade boundaries went up a little last year so super confused about why chem was dropped so much, it just depends on the cohort i guess

I’m predicting 70/100 will be an A this year for paper 1 and 2 and 40/70 for an A on paper 3? this seems pretty normal and fair to me

I say they’d be a bit higher than that, that works out to about 67% for an A

Tbh, ur right
NEW PREDICTIONS! lol
72/100 on paper 1 and 2
44/70 on paper 3
so 188 marks for an A
I should probably stop trying to guess lol, just nervous ig. But i think these boundaries are very fair considering everything and its not far off 2019’s grade boundaries

Chemistry is so bad how do I make sure I guarantee an A in the exams?

Guys there's literally no point of trying to predict grade boundaries until we've sat the paper (and even then you can't know for sure). It could be super hard, or easier then normal you never know. Just revise everything and hope that all your work pays off

Hi everyone. So I looked at papers from 2017 to 2022 and I have made a document that contains all of the major topics that came up. I only focused on Section B, as that is literally 85% of the entire paper. I did the same thing with OCR A Biology Paper 1.
I have also added the prediction topics made by Primrose Kitten. Yes, I bought paper 1 only to experiment, just to see if her predictions are accurate because so many people say they are good and some say they are dead. I'm also dropping prediction topics made by MaChemGuy.
Anyway, I'm going to drop the link to the document below.
