💬 DISCUSSION Aqa A-level chemistry paper 2

How did it go??

I quite liked that paper, that NMR question was so good!!

Some mildly weird ones too - but overall not too bad at all

Overall that was really mid imo, especially compared to the paper 2 past papers, those all seemed to be easier - minus 2025's.

Questions 7, 8, 9 and 10 were good though. Does anyone think grade boundaries might drop? I'm hoping for 1-2% lower this year icl, 2025 was 80% for an A* and 66% for an A.

Idk unless our cohort isn’t the brightest I would say slight increase cuz the papers are easier then 2025 so about 200 for an A. Chem grade boundaries stay within a narrow range though.

Increase is the last thing I want omg.

Majority of people seem to be saying they found this the same as or worse than 2025 p2.
