Edexcel A Level Chemistry Paper 3 2023

Paper 3 is in 2 weeks... does anyone have any advice (apart from brushing up on the practicals & doing past paper questions) on how best to revise/what things specifically I should cover??

Focus on papers 1 and 2 first.

Anything that doesn’t show up on either is likely to be dumped onto paper 3.

Topics that haven't been assessed alot: Arrhenius, big buffer questions, big carbon/proton NMR, transition metals, big organic synthesis equation.
Not much on sn1 or sn2 from what I can remember

Right!!! It was also so weird. Where was the nmr or anything about practicals

pls what did u guys write for the 6mk enthalpy of solution question?? i wrote the standard measure temp at regular intervals, polystyrene cup, etc and finding max temp increase by extrapolation but it was an endothermic reaction so i wasnt sure

I don't think it should matter whether it was endothermic, the extrapolation principle should remain the same (except that the curve is falling instead of rising).

Higher than 2019 would be harsh considering 67% for an A in 2019 is relatively high as it is, i’m thinking a midpoint between 2019 and 2022 so maybe like 198/300 for an A.
