Yeah, I dont know... I feel like past papers were easier... There was so many weird little explanation questions which I was unsure of. Also no thanks for that catalyst 6 marker hahahah!

What did people get for the mass of the oxygen thing and also the Hyber cycle value ? I don’t l remember exactly but my mass was really small like 0.00024 or smth and for the hyber cycle value I got like +600 smth. How did you guys find it overall?
