i only have two, could you pm/email me the last one?
I definitely expect a question on transition metals and redox titrations for paper 3 and also apparently edexcel are hinting for a question on steam distillation.

im expecting a chromatography paper Q and complex ion formatiion equations for a lot of marks

My teacher said that they have emphasized steam distillation but i don't remember how and also it's a new spec point.
I did the one of the additional mocks and it went terrible.

I got about 66% myself but since the paper is worth 40% of the grade i'm worried its too little.

Do you know roughly what the grade boundaries will be? Last year it was 68% for an A for AS.
