Edexcel A-Level Chem Paper 3 General + Practical Principles in Chemistry [Exam Chat]

am i the only one whos never even done a past paper for paper 3

nope aside from my mocks i don't think i've done one either. i have no clue what to expect lmao (i'll try and familiarise myself with the question types in the days between p2 and p3)

Any predictions as to what can come up?

How well do we need to know the core practicals and their specific detail for this? Chemrevise's practical guide has 43 pages lmao

guys can u please drop ur best paper 3 revision tips im so nervous for it

I think I'm just gonna go over any topics I know I'm not confident in and then look over the practicals in detail (maybe watch some videos and have a go at questions). I don't really know any other way to revise for paper 3 if im being honest but if anyone has other suggestions do let me know. I'm ******** myself for this exam though ommddssss

same same; do you know if practicals are a big part of paper 3

From the papers I've done in the past the practicals do tend to come up a fair bit in paper 3, more so why certain methods are used or why certain compounds are used. However I'm predicting that a big arrhenius question will come up and maybe some more questions on nmr, topic 12 calculations and definitely a lot of organic questions. This is just what I'm guessing as these big topics weren't really assessed as much in paper 1 or 2.

what type of Arrhenius q can come up? like drawing a graph 7 marks or something diff

Hopefully drawing a graph 7 marks but who knows what edexcel could throw in to mix it up :c
