Ok, I don't log in to the Student Room much now since I left college for uni but I'm still being begged for past exam papers!!! I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you guys but there are just too many messages to reply to you all!

I thought this may be the best way to communicate to you all...

For OCR Chemistry past papers go to www.robr.net

The username is aluminium
The password is silicon

PLEASE STOP MAILING ME!! I DON'T HAVE TIME TO RESPOND TO YOU ALL!!

I know there is already a sticky for Exam Papers but to be honest the links only give one Specimen Paper which isn't that useful.

It seems there are a lot of posts by members wanting Exam Papers. I thought perhaps that we could devote this one thread to sharing sources of exam papers for all subjects and exam boards.

So if you have some papers, list what you have by subject and exam board. Or if you just have a really good link to a revision site you wanna share...

I'll start by saying that I have...

early 1900s and world war one

Conserative Ascendancy and Liberal Reform etc

Look on:
www.schoolhistory.co.uk

I'm not sure, but I think it might help as it does all levels of education upto A-Level and deals with pretty much all the subjects.

Hope it helps.

I have got the following edexcel past papers and mark schemes but it will be too troublesome to send to everyone who wants them by email. So I would like to find a ftp or web space where I can upload them. Can anyone help me set up or find one? Also I would appreciate if you could give me the papers and schemes I dont have. :smile:

THE EAGERLY AWAITED P4 JANUARY 2004 MARKS SCHEME IS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may notice the answer to question 7c) 8a) is a bit ambiguous. 7c)s curve may require a graphical or graphical program to determine what it looks like and ranges are provided. As for 8a), if you have basically proved it, then it is correct, lamdas the same value for each.

Sorry, for the late upload, but I sort of did that deliberately to ensure you all do the paper before you mark your work! (as it is tempting to look at the markscheme as soon as you get stuck). Also I didnt have time to upload it earlier :cool:

Anyway, hope you all did well coz that is quite a difficult paper.
