how did you find the bio exam yesterday? it was alright for me but i hated the last question including the 2nd 6 mark question lmao

hi! i honestly feel the same way. other than that, it wasn’t a bad paper actually! wayyy easier compared to jan 2023 imo. will u sit the unit 5 exam tomorrow?

Tf was that chem unit 4 paper. The way it was so different from all the past papers. Even mcqs were weird. I hope the grade boundaries are loww.

i genuinely didn’t find it too bad surprisingly??? the calculation questions were the ones i struggled with the most in unit 4, so the buffer solution question i couldn’t do, as well as the star question and the low proton nmr drawing. other than that, it didn’t go horribly. but i do agree the format was a bit different. will u be taking the unit 5 on wednesday??

i acc thought it was decent and a bit better than the unit 4 paper, like i loved the 6 mark on benzene

yes the 6 marker was definately better than many other questions
I may not get full marks even for that, but still there is more hope compared to the other questions lol
