What are your predictions???
everything..

They don't usually repeat the topics from the first paper
So screwed
:frown:
I've focused my revision on:
Shapes and intermolecular forces
Alkene properties and reactions
Electrophilic addition mechanisms
Nucleophilic addition/substitution (Not likely to be substitution since I think that came up in last year's paper)
Oxidation of alcohols
Ionic structure and bonding
Group 7 trends
Group 2 trends
Periodicity within period 3
Stereoisomerism
Hess' Law

There's no nucleophilic addition

Right, that must have been on one of the old papers I did yesterday. My bad.

Do you think it's going to be hard?

From my point of view, no, but that's only because I've done shapes and intermolecular forces to death, and organic chemistry is my forte. It will be hard in terms of knowing your topic areas well, because they are mostly long answer questions it can be easy to lose all the marks.

There's only two 6 mark questions the rest are short answers
Today's paper was tougher than the first paper

Is there an unofficial mark scheme yet? And which questions did you find hard / okay?

Mine looks fairly similar to yours, so hopefully we'll be okay

Yes it was hopefully the grade boundaries are lower

Glad someone's got similar answers aha

I would say it was easier.
