Who needs preparation?

Seriously though, I'm feeling fairly confident as long as they don't do lengthy physical calculations...

Yeah i'm feeling pretty confident for this, but i think they will have a few calculations(like they always do) and/or a few practical questions worth high marks.

It honestly felt more like a maths paper than a chemistry one. I think the actual theory questions were good but the maths was insanely hard.

Here's hoping for low grade boundaries and a great paper 2!

Did anyone use the quadratic formula, I didn't but a lot of people did? I thought for Kc you use the INITIAL concs which were both 1? May be wrong :colondollar:

I feel like I did so bad that the paper was doing a thriller laugh at me when the invigilator told us to stop.
