Did your year find it to be easy as well? I don't think I have done well so I am quite scared,
I thought it was terrible. Much harder than the 2016 paper imo

Yup i havent heard of anyone tht think tht they failed. Overall everyone is predicting at least a B
Dont worry though im sure tht many ppl from other schools found it hard.
although theres going to b ppl from private skools tht are gonna get the best marks...😕
So we cannot predict how exactly r the grade boundaries going to b...Have you had a look at the unofficial marking scheme?

Tysm!! I was really worried about that exam, went in expecting an A*, came out feeling like I definitely got a C, but after looking at the markscheme I don't think I did terribly... I got some of the mole/volume questions wrong and probably lost a few marks in section D because I had five minutes to do all of it (time management isn't my forté) but everyone I talked to thought the exam was meh...still think grade boundaries will be lower than last year tho, hopefully it's an A/A* overall. Thanks again for the link.

I agree, I found it much harder than previous papers. How did your school find it?
