Hii,
Is anyone else planning to resit chemistry in October to improve their CAG ( centre assessed grade? Do you think it’s possible to get a good grade ( at least a B ) in just over 6 weeks whilst also trying to write a Medicine personal statement and maybe do the UCAT too? ( just for reference my centre assessed grade was a C ).

Hey! It’s going to be tough if you haven’t learnt all the content yet. I did OCR A and happy to send my notes to you if you’d like??
I got an A* and my number one tip to do well is practise questions and past papers! Also get hold of their organic flow chart of reactions and make a quizlet of all the recall (colours etc.) and start that little & often as soon as you can!
I can’t really help now as I’ve got my own exams to revise for (& haven’t done a lot of the content myself in over a year!) but I hope that’s of some use!

I either got 22200 or 222000 I cant remember but I got confused and put e as the units so I've probably lost a mark there

I just calculated the half life from like the first data point i think. I think we're supposed to use the half life equation for that one innit. Also I got a negative initial rate because Im a dumbass is this still right ?

I cant remember what i put for the initial rate but the concentration was decreasing over time so i dont think the rate being negative is far fetched
