Just wanted to ask you a question. When doing the F332 past papers, did you look at the corresponding advance notices, or did you directly do the past papers? Thanks
I focused on the actual papers and tried to do the advance notice parts too to get an idea of the sort of thing they would ask. I think practising both is a good idea.
Its the hardest chemistry board of all (harder than AQA, Edexcel, OCR A and WJEC). Thats why its considered a terrible course :L
Oh right, I thought OCR A had a lot more chemistry content than salters. Also how do you know it's the hardest? Have you tried them all? Just wondering again.

OCR A is mostly recall, Salters chem requires more understanding.
For E.g: F332 (Salters, OCR B) requires solid knowledge of F331, where as in OCR A, once you do F321, then F322 doesn't require most of the previous knowledge of F321. This makes it even harder to revise (as you literally have to go over EVERYTHING if you want to get a good grade.) Same applies to Edexcel. AQA, WJEC.

To all those who are suffering the wrath of OCR Salters Chemistry, I bring to you, a thread dedicated to helping those in need.
On this page we will share online resources, attachments and give general advice and help to each other in order to create the largest OCR Salters Study Resource for current and future A-Level Students.
As a welcome gift, I give to you: http://4college.co.uk a website for OCR Salters Revision Notes and an attached revision guide for Elements of the Sea. More will follow...
Has anyone been through the advance notice article yet? (the one on alcohols for F332) Any ideas on the sorts of questions likely to be asked on it?
Hi my teacher suggested:
- Calculating RMM - How much gas is produced - rate of reaction and factors that affect it (Because it is about wine he said to remember yeast is a living thing and a high temp will kill it) - Why one acid may be more acidic than another acid - Bromine water tests - Solubility and precipitation - Catalysis
