Cambridge Chemistry Challenge 2020 - C3L6

My school decided that they're gonna do the C3L6 this year, I'm aiming for silver or gold, does anyone have any tips on how to prepare?

I sat the paper a few days ago and all I can say is to use the past papers on the website.

The point is that we shouldn't have learnt everything on that paper, but with some high reasoning and logic it technically is all accessible, as students do achieve close to full marks each year. I totally get you though, it did sometimes not make sense to have a clear link to anything we may have studied, but that is why it's called a challenge and there are always ways to figure it out.
I’ve heard that Some schools are self marking. This seems weird is it the same with u guys?
I just did it today btw. Thoughts on that isomer question I found it very hard

How did you do the exam today? I though you could only do it up to June 21st as it says on the website.

I’m pretty sure the teachers are supposed to mark it and then send the scores over 50% off to Cambridge

Are any of you guys sitting it at home (because of Covid-19) or is everyone sitting it at school?

Has everyone done it now? If so can we discuss questions?

would u mind helping me pleaseee i’m doing it
It looks like not everyone has sat the paper yet so I think it’s best if we hold off on discussing answers. However, feel free to message me privately. Let’s make sure that everyone has a fair shot at the paper.
hey guys , how did you do ? Was that easy or hard?

It would be cheating to discuss as you dont onow if some people are lying if theyve done it or not, also its risky. Guys u think we gonna doing 2019 paper for end of year 12 mocks
