OCR Chemistry F322~ 4th June 2013~ AS Chemistry

Guys who thinks this paper is a bit too long ... 1h45 mintues.. it actually depends on the individuals if they take to long to write...

but i think it's fairly long paper.

That's correct.

That was crazy complicated! What exam board was that?

It's not from an exam board, they were the last questions on a (presumably undergraduate level) worksheet.

ah you'd lose one mark for the product then, you'd have to use structural formula for it

Thanks and Good luck :smile:

how is everyone feeling about the exam? what are you aiming for?

I'm feeling alright about it (my chemistry teacher is amazing at teaching chemistry though most people in year 13 got A's and B's in year 12) and im aiming for between 87-95 marks :smile:

I'm aiming for 100% obviously but I'm not sure if it's attainable. Hopefully the tobic based revision I've done so far and will do early tomorrow morning and the past papers I'll do Monday afternoon will be sufficient.
I think 90% is fair :smile:

I would love to aim for 100% but I always drop 2-5 marks from not reading the questions properly, I did a paper yesterday and got 97 and the three marks I lost for not reading it wanted all 4 structural formulas not just one like I put because I thought it only asked for one :angry:

Good luck

97 would be full UMS?

I'll be happy with a mid A, anything more would be a bonus :biggrin:

yep

I work REALLY hard in chemistry though and my teacher is amazing at teaching and he is really fast at teaching so we finished the unit about 2 and a half months ago so had lots of time for revision, I plan to study chemistry at uni so it helps to be good at it lol
