I'm in year 12, doing chemistry. And my school has told me later about getting work experience to write about in my personal statement, does anyone have any links they can send to me so I could apply? Please and thank you.
Hey, does anyone have the A-Level Chemistry set 2 Specimen Papers, looking for papers 1 and 2? They may have been upload previously but cannot access those links anymore.
What specific mechanisms came up, if you can remember? Also, do u remember the topics that came up in the paper? Do you have any advice on how to best prepare for it?
friedel crafts acylation (AlCl3) came up as the 8 marker for the mechanism question (the mechanism is electrophilic substitution). i did the paper 2 set 2 three days ago for mocks so i can't remember a lot on what came up but i can remember a relative abundunce/mz charge ratio question came up and the last question was about rate-concentration graph where you have to calculate 1/T and and ln K and then use the arrhenius equation. i think it was 8 or 9 marks but it was really easy to get a few of those marks just for working out the values and plotting them. My advice would be to use your time wisely because i spent a lot of time focusing on one question and then ended up having like three minutes left with two pages to go. i only saw the last question at the last minute of the exam and it was relatively easy which was annoying as i didn't have enough time to finish it. But all in all, i found it easier than paper 1. I hope this helped and i wish us all luck because chem is looking shambolic.
