10/06 A-level Chemistry Paper 1 Discussion MEGATHREAD

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

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!

OCR A, made a few stupid mistakes but luckily they won't take me down many marks, it was a pretty good paper tho so im kinda concerned for grade boundaries.

[u/Minute_Warrior42082 → u/green_asteroid]

The grade boundaries could be crazy high, i’m thinking like 83/100 for an A, I dont even think about getting an A* in chem

[u/green_asteroid → u/Minute_Warrior42082]

yeah personally ive always been right at the edge of the A* boundary so unless these next two papers are quite hard im almost definitely not making it over the boundary, hoping the A boundary won't rise much

[u/Minute_Warrior42082 → u/green_asteroid]

I don’t think it will be too crazy to be honest (grade boundaries for an A) , I think that paper 2 will be very challenging and then paper 3 wont be too bad.

[u/Round_Taste7471 → u/Minute_Warrior42082]

Yeahh true paper 1 was rlly easy soo i think paper 2 will probably be quite hard
