would you say you'd be able to get method marks if you just ended up with a rounding error

I thought the paper itself wasnt too bad, i couldn't get the 6 marker about preparing the standard solution though because I didn't have a clue
Is anyone ready for AS3

Not at all! I'm kind of dreading it, really. The specimen paper didn't make any sense to me, but that seems to be the way with CCEA's specimen papers atm :/

I'm exactly the same, it was absolute nonsense. As was the specimen for AS 1. So I guess we can only hope that it turns out to be better written than the sample! How are you feeling about the exam on Monday?

Yeah, I feel the same. I felt that AS 2 went better than AS 1, strangely enough. How'd you find it?
