Edexcel A Level Chemistry Paper 3:9CH0 03 - 23 Jun 2022 [Exam Chat]

has anyone else found the 2019 paper 3 particularly difficult?

Does anyone have any video recommendations or questions for NMR cuz I'm struggling with that

How on earth did you guys learn all the synthesis pathways?

do u have to learn the pathways im just going to just work my way backwards from the compound we needed if that makes sense

has anyone else found the 2019 paper 3 particularly difficult?

Not especially, no. I’d say of the paper 3’s, 2017 struck me as the most difficult. 2019 was my best, even though 2020 was a bit easier.

interesting, i found 2017 much easier than 2019

For watching a video for NMR, I'd recommend Allery Chemistry. For questions you could do them from PMT, or if you go onto the Pearson website and scroll down to Summer 2022 support, you can download topic tests and there is one for Topic 19 so you can practice that way too.

Here's the link to Allery Chemistry's video on NMR: https://youtu.be/zjjR4iD9s8A

organic synthesis test

is anyone able to do organic synthesis pathways without learning the map??

Yes, but that’s purely down to practice with over the years.
