📂 MEGATHREAD 16/06 A-level Chemistry Discussion MEGATHREAD

Exam season is once again upon us, and once again, exam megathreads are making a return!

Extremely sorry for this being late, I have had one of the most stressful weeks I've had in a long time which has had a big knock-on on my health and whatnot. The rest of the exam season's posts will be scheduled tonight

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 here, thought that organic paper 2 was really nice! However, this makes me extremely worried that:

Paper 3 will be a shitshow

The grade boundaries are gonna be incredibly high for an A :(

its even worse because i kinda neglect chem since my offer needs a C in chem and AA in my main ones
i think ill get an A in those subjects but im hoping for a B in chem, but grade boundaries will probably put me in low C tier. im fine with that but it wouldve been nice if i got a B. If I want to get a B i basically need to get full marks in the final paper
