GCSE OCR 21st CHEMISTRY C123, Friday 17th JUNE (2011)

Thanks! I put something along those lines, so let's hope... Does anyone have any good sites I can use to revise for P123 on Friday 24th? I've tried Bitesize and SAMLearning, but once you've done all the tests, you just have to go back to the beginning!

What did you guys put for the Nitrogen Cycle where you had to tick the boxes?

Reply 23

Remind me of the question?

Reply 24

It showed you a diagram of the Nitrogen Cycle, and it asked you to tick the two boxes which are true :s-smilie:

e.g Nitrogen and Oxygen react to form nitrates, nitrogen dissolves in the rain etc

Reply 25

Oh yeah, I remember now. Erm, I think I put that nitrogen and oxygen react to form nitrates, then the nitrates are dissolved in the rainwater. We discussed it afterwards, and that was what most of us had put in my class, so we're all right or we're all wrong!!!

Oh yay I put that too I think Lol.

I made a few dumb mistakes. I already know of about 4/5 marks I have 100% lost. Not a great start.

I just hope I can scrape an A maybe.

What did you put for the question about which material was more sustainable out of Polyester and Cotton I think it was. It gave how much energy it uses per KG of the material and you had to tick which material was more sustainable for each material.

This was probably the most straight foward question lol, but I didn't get it because some of the times it said 0?! But I just ended up putting the ones that used less energy lol

I put the same thing, I just used my common sense... :smile:

I think the exam was generally okay, I reckon I lost 6/7 marks overall. I think last year's A* boundary was quite low, about 29/42? I think I can probably make that, but I'm tempting fate I guess!!! Still, not a lot I can do now... :biggrin:

This isn't a HUGE percentage of the marks, though, so we can still make up the grades later on...

Even if your not confident with your C1-C3 grade you can make it up with C4-C6 as the grade is averaged between the two exams. Good luck on the 28th June guys and 22nd June (Biology exam) :smile:

I'm new here, but I was just wondering how you found the question about life cycle assessments? I wasn't really sure what to put so I just ended up writing down just about everything I could think of to do with rope... I'm hoping they'll have a few allowances for the marks...? :s-smilie:

How to make the rope, how long people use it for/how long it lasts and to dispose it (recyycling etc)

thats what i put anyways :s-smilie:

Goodness, you all sound like you have done SOOO well! I thought the exam was quite tricky :/ I had a pannic attack half way through and left a load unanswered! I'm gutted because I had revised SOO hard for it and now I have to re-sit the exam in January because I went blank afterwards and couldn't complete it :frown:

Good Luck to you guys though! It sounds, to me, like you have all done great :smile:

I don't think I did that well lol :/ I am aiming for an A, and if I get less I will probably retake. How much of it did you actually miss out?

sinead123

Yeah, I was looking for an A too. I managed to get through most of the tick box questions but the big scoring ones that were worth the most marks I had left to come back to again once I had been through the paper. Unfortunatley, I never managed to get back to them so that's at least 11/13 marks i'm down!! I'm sure you have done great :smile:

thanks, but i'm not so sure... i think i will definatley be retaking in january... :/ I', sure you haven't; I think the boundaries will be extremely low anyway seeing how this was much harder than last year's and for last year's only 27 were needed for an A!
