OCR A-level Chemistry A Paper 2 - 16th June 2025 [Exam Chat]

hellloooooooo

hey!

how you feeling for p2?

What do you mean by "tend to be standard"? Like are the questions from previous years related to this year? (Asking for paper 1, 2 and 3 separately)

i mean the questions (in my opinion) are very predictable compared to other subjects
like for instance, we know we're 9 times out of 10 going to get a Hess cycle, transition elements long answer question and like a 4 marker on redox in paper 1, a large organic synthesis map 8/9 marker in paper 2 and probably an NMR or titration in paper 3!

Ohh!! That makes so much sense. Thank you so much. Do you know where I can get these types of predictions (What topics have a higher chance of coming up)? Chemistry 2025 prediction videos or is there something else?

if a unfamilar mechanism question comes up i am done for

Same here. If it's anything like the 2015 paper then I'm truly done for (my school talks about it like it's a horror movie)

2015? the old spec paper?

Yeah that one.

yeah i am doing it now the nmr question is ugly at best

I hope paper 2 is harder so the grade boundaries aren’t as high lmao

Ikr. My teachers were saying people who were predicted A*s at the time came out saying that they had genuinely failed bc there was no hope in that paper. Even my teachers agreed.
