nah It didnt - I did but I don't think you need to


Good, i didn't think it did. Must be overthinking it :u:. Also do you know if you would have had to put the name of the isomer as z-pent-2-ene? I just wrote pent-2-ene.

I made some but not too many, I got between 58-60 I think and 56 on breadth, should have really not made those silly mistakes on Breadth and I wouldn't be kinda worrying about possibly getting a B lol. what about you?

that's great - what did you put for the two alcohols you had to draw... I think I put pent-2-ol and pent-3-ol? probs 4 marks lost but wanna check


I can't remember for sure but I think i drew 2-methylbutan-2-ol and 3-methylbutan-2-ol

Do you know if it asked for you to use standard form for the gas question?


If you are talking anout the pressure then Im sure it said 3sf and in standard form

Yup 3sf and in standard form


Im quite sure it wasnt standard form as it was only the three significant figuures which was in bold

Can you please post the exact wording for the 6 marker for the mechanism and edit it shortly after I've read it.

Just interested

Can't remember for sure so might not have said that and I might be thinking of one of my other exams

Sorry to bother you but could you confirm if the question on the pressure in the drum was meant to be in standard form or not?

Not sure why you're acting so funny about sharing the paper but that's your prerogative. However, posting this picture adds nothing to the discussion. Either share the question or don't post at all.

Shame my college has moved over to AQA for the current AS year or else I'd pop in tomorrow and get a copy to scan in!

It is a public forum and I do not need your permission to post anything.

I come on here to help and give advice to students - there are several I have helped a lot believe me. However, I am not posting the paper because it should not be posted. The paper will be used by teachers for next year's mock and as such has not been released to the public by the exam board who also own the copyright.

Of course you don't need my permission, I was just suggesting that you refrain from posting unhelpful image macros in reply to someone asking for a reminder of one of the questions.

I'm not sure how much I buy into the whole 'the current paper cannot be released because it will be used as a mock' reasoning. Good sixth form students are old enough to understand why they shouldn't look at mock papers before sitting them. Plus, there is enough discussion about the content of the paper on forums like this one that anyone determined enough to cheat on a mock can do so anyway.
