How does everyone feel about the exam?

Okay, but with advance notice questions who knows what comes up and you cannot really prepare much for them :frown:

Okay here you are! I've drawn on all the hydrogen bonds, I'm sorry the quality is quite bad and I had to rub out all the previous bonds I'd drawn, so just look at the ones in black

thanks mate. i just really wanted to know where i was going wrong cos these questions actually carry on and you lose marks when using the formula later.

so i want to be able to apply itlike that in the exam.

I'm actually quite prepared, other than the advanced notice and just some revision here and there. I'm going to spend the day going through the advanced notice, gonna summarise each paragraph and come up with questions they can ask there. And after that I'm gonna go through the specification once more.

How are you feeling about it?

Can someone please answer my question

How do I know whether I should put state symbols in a reaction?

Do I just assume they are not needed unless asked for?

Thanks

they ask for it, but for ionic equations I would always put them on regardless.

Not to well tbh, I'm really tired and so I'm gonna revise for a bit and wake up at 2am and do more work :smile:

Also how did you do the question before, how do you know where the hydrogen bonds are?

For the first 4 questions I think out of the 80 marks for them I'll do okay and drop like 5 marks so long as no stupid mistakes occur, paper is not weird like our unit 1 physics one and mark scheme does not change. But then the advance notice Q5 questions will be annoying and a bomb :frown:

and I'll probably loose at max 10 marks :frown:

You?
