Chemistry Edexcel paper 1 GCSE paper

Does anyone have any useful revision sources for the chemistry gcse on Thursday? I would really appreciate it 😊
How did you find the biology paper 1 exam?

I was quite disappointed tbh. It was much harder than I expected. I left out a couple questions too including the 6 marker on the human genome project cuz I didn’t revise that and had no idea what to write. How did yours go?

Really? I ran out of time. But overall i think i did well. But most of the questions were more about common sense than book knowledge. You had to use your knowledge in the stomach and the gastric something question
However I should also say that the exam paper was a poor reflection on what we learnt. It had NOTHING about nerves and the brain. But what do you think the grade boundaries are going to be like? How many marks for a grade 8/9?
The exam was actually fairly easy, but many questions were not directly linked to what we were taught.

Grade boundaries will probably be really low because so far all I've seen is people saying it was difficult and people saying that they'll be low because we're the first year.

Any estimates for around a grade 7
I'm pretty bad at estimating but I'd go with something quite high like 72%

Its probably lower but it's always good to prepare for the worst

i acc found it quite easy and when the question about gastric band came up i just used my common sense and said that it makes you more full and fills you up more easily and because of that you wouldn't be able to eat a lot which will help you lose weight, and the rest I found quite easy as well and for the genome project one I made up pure bs and was surprisingly correct when I went home and searched for the answer and i only revised for biology the day before so i was happy, but that is because i like biology and its like common sense to me but i hate chemistry and my exam is tmrw and i dont know **** so i feel like im going to fail as i am very bad at it

Yeah I found it quite easy but I heard some other people saying that it wasn't as easy as I said.

if we found it easy and other ppl didn't find it easy then the grade boundaries would be low and so we can get a very good grade xxx
