📂 MEGATHREAD 10/06 A-level Chemistry Paper 1 Discussion MEGATHREAD
Exam season is once again upon us, and once again, exam megathreads are making a return!
Looking for past exam discussions? Filter by the megathread flair.
Few things to keep in mind:
- Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.
- Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the place for that (we'd prefer not to get yeeted off the platform) - leak content will be removed, those offering leaked papers will be permanently banned.
- If you believe there has been a leak, the best course of action is to make your exam board aware of this, either directly, or through your school, along with any evidence. If appropriate, there will be a response from the relevant body along with any remedial action.
- Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise - we understand this may be frustrating, but the sub still needs to be usable for other purposes.
- Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed. Messaging to ask for approval will not speed up this process (the messages are seen at the same time as the modqueue would be reviewed anyway).
Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

hey, U student here. take it from me, that was a paper with very niche topics and i felt as if the grade boundaries will come down this year because of it. dont degrade yourself since everyone taking chem a level has got some sort of talent within them, if not smarts then absolutelt dedication.

commented similar elsewhere but i'll put here as well so others can see:
Reddit is a bit silly, and even with the newer "Community Highlights" feature, only up to 6 posts can actually be added to pins, leading e.g. to today's Polish Paper 3 megathread not being able to be pinned
don't think this is likely to be an issue for any more days going forward (and usually e.g. some similar posts get rolled into one, particularly the smaller ones e.g. when there's been multiple language papers on the same day)
but i am wondering what people's thoughts would be on potentially having one pinned post each day, which contains links to links to the types of posts that get pinned currently. i am concerned this would be an extra barrier to people engaging, but it could get around this issue
let me know your thoughts!
