It was ok. I messed up on the last question, but that should only be a few marks... I hope it went well. My college are calling these qualifiers... If you don't get at least a B, they won't put you in for the real exam in around 70 days...

What other subjects are you doing?
I take Biology (OCR-A), Chemistry (OCR-A), Physics (AQA-A) and Psychology (AQA-A)
I'm doing Chemistry and Biology (OCR A for both) and Mathematics and Further Mathematics (AQA for both)

Also, I have managed to get a hold of a Depth practise paper.
Hiya! This exam thread is great - I've added it to the Exam Thread Directory 2017 :h:

If you see any other exam threads threads that aren't in the directory yet - let me know by either tagging me in, or linking it in the directory and I can add it in! You can also find discussions for your other exams there.

If any of your other exams aren't on there yet - feel free to make the exam thread for it yourself :excited:

Good luck in your exams :eek3:

Hey this is the most prepared I've actually been aha
I have a feeling titration and enthalpy will most probably come up as well as bond shapes.

I've done most of the papers inc specimen and used the same websites as you :smile:
Guys got any predictions? what hasn't come up before in both of last year's papers.

Here's some simple model answers I found online :
Reply 11
Possibly some of these might come up:

-titrations
-rate of reaction
-disproportionation reaction
-alkane to haloalkane
-equilibrium constant
-Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP rule)
guys what do u think's the best last minute revision?
going over a paper or going over content?
Good luck today everyone!
Good luck everyone. Hope it goes well!

What did you get for the concentration of the acid?
Vinegar question was so hard?

I got 2.3moldm-3 but might be really wrong
