OCR Chemistry A 2017 Exam Thread (New A Level)

I think an A is going to be 226
Why?
My teacher is an examiner and she said for paper 1 she has marked 2 papers were one person got 7 marks and another person got 97. Im predicting fairly standard grade boundaries for paper 1 and 2. Paper 3 was too long so im expecting the A boundary to be slightly lower, so essentially 226

226 wouldn't be standard for an A. Usually it's between 76-78% is a whopping 84% which is what an A* typically was in the old spec

It definitely will not be more than 76% lol, an A for AS last year was 77% and those papers were piss easy, and more people get As at A2 I think

Breadth and depth were 56 and 52 out of 70 for an A and they were much easier.

Surely unified would be lower than 52 for an a if depth was 52?

Without a doubt, I think depth was of a similar difficulty to paper 1 and 2, and unified quite a bit harder than those two, saying that I don't think the overall boundary for the three papers could be lower than 74% however it would be nice. I think it'll be between 200-205 for an A.

There's a chemistry tutor on twitter and his predictions are 77,79, 47, for an A so 203 for an A.

Nervous as f#ck man

Yeah he normally predicts a tad too high so I'm hopeful

Good luck to you mate. What's your offer?

Thanks man you too
A*AA, you?

AAA. Certain about maths. Bio and chem are unsure.

Lol Biology is a lost cause for me, but yeah most confident about maths too

The wait is killing me but what can you do?

What do you guys wanna do at Uni? Medicine?

Exactly, it's just a waste of time worrying, should just enjoy summer, worst comes to worst, would have to take a gap year, won't die or anything.

This is what I'm trying to tell myself

Hey guys what do you think the grade boundaries would be for chemistry depth and breadth
