When SO much better than the first one but that one went really bad. Annoying thing is my college forgot to give us the data sheet and then couldn't find them so had to wait 10 mins but only got an extra 5mins,


our school was the same with the data sheets, except they took 30 mins to arrive and then our invigilator only gave us 3 mins extra :unimpressed:

Wow! That's so crap! I would have been so pissed off if that was me! I feel as bad for you! Did you run out of time then or did you manage to answer all the questions?

anyone have the link to last years foundations in chemistry paper?
^^^^^^^
Does anyone know what the grades boundaries will roughly be? I got 74% in one of the specimen papers but 62% in another one. Just wondering if that'll be a C

You would be looking at at High B low A area. But defiantly an A in the 74% one

I've been looking for an AS Chem OCR B thread all year... this is the first I've found!!! I have a few sites that are really helpful for notes etc
http://www.4college.co.uk/as/index.php - old spec but good resource
http://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/chemistry-revision/a-level-ocr-b/ NEW SPEC !!!! some of the questions aren't great but it's a great set of exam style qs
https://chemrevise.org/ocr-revision-guides/ i think this is OCR A but if you sift through them it's a good way of checking knowledge

The last link doesn't seem to be working?

Last year it was 60% for an A so I'm guessing it'll be similar for this year too.

My predictions:

A* = 70-80%
A = 60-70%
B = 50-60%

That shouldn't be too bad I don't think, but I HATE the practical paper so much
Anyone else super unprepared for today
