Are the specs much different? That would really annoy me tbh, good luck

I think they're reasonably similar. Thanks, I'll let you know how I find it

Isn't it a bit early for exam predictions and potential grade boundaries? :tongue:

It's not that early -- exam's less than 4 months away

I was wondering since our upcoming chemistry exams are coming up if people wanted to be part of a chemistry whatsapp revision group. I guessing most of us use whatsapp so I guess it will be more suitable for everyone then. If you are interested either pm me or responded to this message

Im looking for anything that would help me out as I sit this paper next week as an entry test!

There were a few threads where people posted some answers but I don't think there were full unofficial markschemes.

Don't worry too much, the exam was relatively easy so with a week full of good revision you should be fine 😊 Good luck!

I'm not too sure what you mean? If I remember correctly I think I was replying to someone who had a mock with the exam.

To revise last year I made flashcards to learn the content and then did past papers from the old spec. It actually worked decently!!

Hope this helps :tongue:
