The paper went well for me. I found the multiple choice to be harder than past paper. Paper 2 was good but there were some tricky questions

The mechanisms questions were hard I felt

I'd like an A because that's what I got in my prelim but hopefully at least a B! You?

I'm not sure where you can get it, there's not really any of those youtube teachers that post answers for AH chemistry after the exam like with maths.

I think I’ll get an A, but it depends on what the grade boundaries are going to be.

I think they’ll lower to around 65% maybe? The usually lower them by a few % every year and I know quite a few people who said they found it a hard paper

Biology was ok but it was just constant graph questions and not as much knowledge, we were lucky with the MC and the essay questions though. Maths was ok as well especially paper 1. What else have you had?

I also had bio and maths. Biology went really well but maths not so well. I did an all nighter for maths so was barely awake while siting the exam. But I still think I got a B for math, worst case scenario a C.

Fingers crossed for us!

my whole class found section 2 quite hard. i’m disappointed because my prelim was an A, never gotten below an A in any of the unit tests and i got the highest attainment award for my year in chemistry but after that i just know it’s not going to be an A and then the appeals have changed back to pre covid this year :/// if you didn’t already know andrew hay then he was like a life saver he does speculative answers and films them so hopefully that’ll be next week. that being said i just went on tiktok and looked at the comments and realised how many more mistakes i’ve probably made 😅😅😅
