OCR Chemistry F322~ 4th June 2013~ AS Chemistry

Hello there,

I got 118/150 in this exam, and overall I got 239 UMS in chemistry AS, do you think its worth going for a remark?

Thank you in advance

Sent off for remark and for paper back when the remark is done

That's a good idea, I was thinking te other way round but might do it your way- going down to school tomorrow I try and sort it out I think.

Also, thank you whoever said about the deadline, I can't multiquote on here sorry

Remember to get the remark first - I remember reading somewhere that if you get the script back then they can't remark it.
(not sure how true this is but I wouldn't like it to happen to anyone)

If you were disappointed with your grade in this exam, don't worry too much. If you are continuing with A2 chemistry, you will need to resit this module as its easy UMS. F324 and F325 build on the ideas from AS, so once you have studied these modules, f321 and f322 (especially f322 because of f324) becomes very easy - only a few topics aren't covered in the A2 modules. (green chemistry, for example)

in terms of synoptic questions on f324 and f325,what AS module do they mostly come out from ?

f324 is basically organic chemistry - more mechanisms, organic compounds and extends the analysis in f322 - there's a few new methods in determining unknown compounds in addition to the ones you already know. It almost entirely builds from f322.

f325 is inorganic chemistry - lots of calculations, equilibrium, elements and enthalpy. Builds from both f321 and f322. It's by far the hardest unit and worth 50% of the A2 (25% of overall A level), so you need to resit your AS units if you got a B at AS and want to get an A.

Hey, Do you think an UMS of 240 would suffice to get an A overall in Chemistry knowing that A2 module is the hardest and is it doable?

Hi, I'm wondering whether it's worth it to retake BOTH unit 1 and 2 to get an A in the a level overall? I gor a C at AS this year. In F321, I got 59/90 ums (grade c), in F322 I got 100/150 (grade C) and in F323 The coursework I got 41/60 (grade C). I'm not sure whether it would be best to resit both unit 1 and 2 or just one of those units. In which case, I don't know whether to resit unit 1 since it's easier and should be even easier since this will be the 3rd time I've sat it... or resit unit 2 since it's worth more. How hard would it be to get an A at A2 if I got a B in unit 2, but a C in unit 1 and the coursrwork still. How many UMS would I need to get in chem3 and chem 4 and the coursework?

Definately worth it....I'm 5UMS off an A overall, which I think is maximum 3 raw marks so I've sent mine off for a remark

Is it possible to redo practicals? And how much would it cost?
I got 234 ums, how many raw marks is that off an A?
its either that or get f322 remarked, though I got 120 ums in that

hey im on 235UMS overall. i was thinking of remarking the second paper, is this what youve done?

i'm in this position,i did f321 as a resit this year and put more effort in than i did when i orginially sat the paper and got a C,andf i got a D this time round.I got a C in f322,which module am i better off resitting for next year ?
