forgot to talk abuout breaking and making bonds on the last 6 marker :frown:

hated that question about what experiments should she do..

Otherwise it was okay, not the best, prefererred it to 2015 though.

I didn't really like that exam, struggled with quite a few questions and just found out about some (pretty big) mistakes i made. what did everybody get for the final question on the titration vs precipitation q?

On the final question i put left, middle, right

like a diagonal lol

Im sure you've done great!

Yeah, luckily I remembered to do that but it was just the silly one markers that really wound me up (especially at the end)

I'm exceedingly happy because the exam went well for me. I do agree though, the questions were phrased really ambiguously so anything could happen.

Ahhh that's what me and my mates put, it took me ages to simply get what the question was talking about, I got there in the end though lol

Ironically enough, that was the one question that I guessed the answer to because I didn't want to waste time on it seeing as it was a one marker. I've seemed to have forgotten the phrasing of the question, what was it?

Yup same i don't like additional science, especially after today's exam :frown:

it wasn't awful but i just thought it was unfair that they didn't cover the key topics. I did well on the 6 markers i think, but the other 1/2/3 markers i strugged with. I'm officially worried now lol. Hate ocr more than i did yesterday

Eurgh today's exam was mean. I didn't like it. I mean the 6 markers were pretty good, but the 2 and 3 markers like you said were awful! 2015s paper was a blessing, why couldn't we have had that :frown:

Also OCR? Sort your spelling out

No way was it really chlorine? I put that (I did keep it though luckily) but it really confused me as chlorine's poisonous and irritates eyes? Lol great stuff sunglasses company

Glad someone feels the same way :/ I had no clue what I was doing. I've definitely got the last question wrong and the first page was nasty. I completely messed up some of the equations too. Uuuh i'm so disappointed. We still have C7

They don't deserve capitals :no:

I really liked that paper funnily enough, a couple things were confusing but not too bad. Did you have to discuss bonds forming vs breaking on the last 6 marker, as im sure that is part of C7. I simply discussed what the graphs showed and what it meant in terms of energy

Bonds aren't mentioned in 4,5,6 so I'm presuming not

yeah thats what i thought. i mentioned the fact exothermic give out energy etc and then what endothermic do. I didn't link it to the table of energy changes though
