Q1 Rate & Halogens
Name a suitable mechanism	Nucleophilic addition.nu sub according to chat	1
Q8 Shape of Ch2f2 and strongest imf	Tetrahedral shape; strongest intermolecular force is permanent dipole-permanent dipole forces as a result of the permanent dipole created as a result of the difference in electronegativity between fluorine and carbon. CF2H2 is also not symmetrical so dipoles don’t cancel out, therefore cannot be Van de Waals which are weaker.	4 what was this q. 8 was bp graph no?
Friedel crafts acylation		? not It was 6 marks Pretty sure it was a longer chain electrophile Yt its was One for electrophile 1 for equation 4 for mechanism? Actually might be 5 total Was it not a longer carbon intermediate?yes Acid anyhydride or acyl chloride? I think acyl chloride is probably safer option I got like CH3CH2CO^+ as the elctrophile? Me too
Q1 Rate equation for [RCl] [OH^-] reaction	rate =k[RCl ][OH- ] both first order k=1.24 Units = mol-1dm3s-1 (2nd order reaction - check picture to see units) Overall order is 2	4 marks
Elimination mechanism for a molecule with ethanolic NaOH Step 1: C5H12 -> C5H11+ +... Step 2: C5H12 + Br -> C5H10 + H2O There was also a 3 marker abt why a Racemic mixture is formed (idk what question)	Rate determining step: Step 1 Explanation: RDS only contains C5H11Br (or whatever it was) and this is what is also present in the rate equation Mechanism: Elimination - 3 curly arrows - first to adjacent hydrogen, then hydrogen bond to C-C bond then C-Br bond breaks to form alkene Another isomer formedis it this? Yh thats the mechanism but had to be displayed formula I think the mechanism was slightly different though? Like they had the carbocation formed first and then the final product- yeah so strange Yh I was thinking the same Fairly certain this should be an E1 mechanism, not a standard elimination Yh thats what i did it also didnt mention major or minor product so think that was a clue	7 marks Think mechanism should be in 2 steps, as rate equations showed this
Draw the other isomer formed	The double bond just in the other place (correct) -1 / 2 - 2 bromo so alkene either on c1 ir c2 No, this one was the BR the optical isomer is the other question like the J M one where they give u molecular forumal. I think. The EZ one is like an alcohol elkene Was it not optical ismoer?? Ohhh yess Wasn’t it E/Z	1
Isomer L and the equation, two conditions and color change for full oxidation (think it was a primary alcohol) Represent oxidising agent with [O]	Equation: smth… + 2[O] -> smth + H2O Condition 2: Excess acidified potassium dichromate (it already stated this in the question no?) Condition 1: Heat under reflux Color change: Orange to green I put. 1[O] :/ so do i :( ME TOO BAB	How many marks was this?my dumbo put orange to colourless im crine Omg i crossed out acidified potassium dichromate ahh im so mad 4
Bond Enthalpy	484 kj mol right I got 490, darn - bru i got -6500 I got 72.5	4
Wavelength question	wavelength= 354 E=5.610^-19 Do the bond enthalpy of C-Cl divided by avogadro, sub that value into the equation E=(hc)/λ and rearrange to find the wavelength/λ 5.88 10^-19 Did it not round to 355? Maybe ???	3
name the HFC	2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-(1)-ene (alkene group has priority)	I thought the same about the priority stuff alkene with low est number 1 No need for number as only one position where double bond can go in propene? No need for number on prop-1-ene You do need a number I think. Not sure actually but doesn’t hurt to put it in.
Use of CFC	Refrigerants/coolant in fridges /aerosol sprays/degreasing solvent/fire extinguishers/ propellant STOPPPP I PUT REFRIGRATORS WELPPPP - (SAAMEEE)	1
Initiation step	CF2Cl2-> .CF2Cl .Cl (unpaired electron needs to be on carbon)	1
CH2F2 Draw shape of molecule Explain the strongest intermolecular forces	Tetrahedral shape; strongest intermolecular force is permanent dipole-permanent dipole forces as a result of the permanent dipole created as a result of the difference in electronegativity between fluorine and carbon. CF2H2 is also not symmetrical so dipoles don’t cancel out, therefore cannot be Van de Waals which are weaker. Oh noo i didnt do it 3D :/	4 Broski H has to be connected to F to be hydrogen bonding -> its VDW and u explain induced dipole due to random movement of electron density M1 - structure (M1 - Random movement of electron density creates a temporary dipole M2 temporary dipole induces a dipole in adjacent molecule M3 - Attraction between the slightly positive carbon and slightly negative F in an adjacent molecule
Shape of IF4 shown in an image Charge Bond angle Explanation	+1 ///swear this is meant to be a 1+???yh i put that as well . has i lone pair . guys i put 87.5 degrees for the bond angle would that be right asked ai and its saying 90 degrees so cooked. (T SHAPE) 117.5 bond angle Lone pairs repel more than bonding pairs of electrons, squeezing bond angle by 2.5o from 120o 4 bonding pairs and one lone pair of electrons. Lone pair repulsion > bonding pair repulsion. Repel to be as far apart from each other as possible Ione pair reduces bond angle by 2.5 degrees 87.5 degrees I put 118 did anyone else? I put 118 tooI PUT 117.5 i put 104.5 Will probably be a range Do we get marks for 118 in past exam question ive seen ranges between 117-119 i think so long as its smaller than 120 Did anyone else think it was -1?	3 marks

Q1 Rate & Halogens

Question

Answer

Marks

1.1

State the meaning of hydrolysis

Breaking of a chemical bond between molecules using water

1.2

Role of ethanol

Was a nucleophile

solvent

It is a solvent as halogenoalkanes are generally insoluble

Solvent for haloalkane, as insoluble in water

Wasn’t it the nucleophile? You may be right yes

I think so because was already liquid ye

Solvent for the first q and KOH was base for the other q

Nucleophile because it displaces bromine ions by attacking the partially positive carbon

Commentary

The nucleophile would be water wouldnt it? Thats why they asked you what hydrolysis was in question 1.1

1.3

why it’s heated and why use water bath:

heat it to increase rateincrease the rate of reaction?

Heat to provide sufficient energy for reaction?

Is it not to keep it at a constant temperature ?

To calibrate temperatures/control temperature variable??

Ethanol is flammable so you cannot use a naked flame.

2???

1.4

State 2 observable changes and explain with 1-Iodobutane, compared to bromobutane

Yellow ppt (AgI (s) formed rather than AgBr (s) which is cream)
ppt appears more quickly (justification?)The ions are already in solution by the time the timer starts. I- has weaker valence attraction so forms ppt more quickly (greater rate of reaction), hence recovery rded timerecovery time is lesser. sI just thought because the precipitation can only form once the iodide ion is in solution, and that can only occur when the C-I bond is broken/overcome, and because its weaker the ppt can be formed more quickly ,
C-I has a lower bond enthalpy - requires less energy - nucleophilic sub happens quicker yeah that's what I was thinking until someone said

something else i think this is correct i remember doing a question on it

yes

Commentary

Yeah this is correct

Q8 – Boiling Points Graph

8.1

OHn bp greater than CH2n bp for all because hydrogen bonding

OH bp decreases slightly when n increases from 0 to 1 because smaller proportion of molecule is polar o-h

OH bp decreases from n=0 to n=1 because there are 2 OH bonds in water so more hydrogen bonding
group

As n increases mr and electrons and therefore van der waal forces increase for both

OH higher than CH3 because it had van der waals and hydrogen bonding compared to only van der waals in CH3

OHn decreases less than CH2n because weaker hydrogen bonding

Q10 – Kc

10.1

Calculate Kc of methanol

17.9 mol-2dm6 Standard Kc Questions

Units too‽

10.2

Increase the pressure.

As a result, the position of equilibrium will shift (to the side with less moles) right to oppose increase in pressure, therefore yield of methanol will increase. Pressure doesn't affect KC unlike temperature.

increase pressure -> equilibrium shifts to side with fewer moles of gas which was the forward reaction -> increase methanol yield

Unnumbered Questions

Draw skeletal formula of J

(CH3CH2)2O

CH3-CH2-(C=O)-CH2-CH3

What is the type of isomerism for J and K isomere

Position/Positional

Draw the isomer that can react with acidified potassium dichromate

Explain why it shows E-Z stereioisomerism

formula C5H10O

Two different groups on each carbon atom and restricted rotation around C=C double bond.

But its 4 marks?

Atom economy + equation

(118/118+18) x100

= 86.76…%

= 86.8% (This is the answer)

Was it H+ OR H2SO4 or something else entirely in the equation?

Was the 5 marks just for atom economy or part of thesteps prior to it ?

What was the equation anyone have equa wait guys are we missign any questions? Tion

Equation will be total Mr of reactants under total Mr of desired prod

Was it alcohol— alkene + H20

Why was excess nitric acid added?

To react/ neutralize with hydroxide ions

2.1???What is the role of hydroxide ions

A base/ H+ acceptor

Bronsted lowry base

Calculate concentration of Chloride ions after 30 seconds

Did you have to divide by 20 or 10 cm^3?

Yes i did 0.02dm^3

Did u do change your concentration over 30??? The initial concentration is 0 right

Surely 0.02dm^3 as it was vol of both chloride ions - I got a answer of 0.0121

3 marks total

Calculate rate of chloride ions/difference in rate?

Think you had to divide the previous value by 30s (the time for the reaction to stop)

(ECF likely)

1 (Was this included in the 3 marks to Q above?)

Name a suitable mechanism

Nucleophilic addition.nu sub according to chat

Shape of Ch2f2 and strongest imf

Tetrahedral shape; strongest intermolecular force is permanent dipole-permanent dipole forces as a result of the permanent dipole created as a result of the difference in electronegativity between fluorine and carbon. CF2H2 is also not symmetrical so dipoles don’t cancel out, therefore cannot be Van de Waals which are weaker.

4 what was this q. 8 was bp graph no?

Friedel crafts acylation

? not

It was 6 marks

Pretty sure it was a longer chain electrophile

Yt its was

One for electrophile

1 for equation

4 for mechanism? Actually might be 5 total

Was it not a longer carbon intermediate?yes

Acid anyhydride or acyl chloride?

I think acyl chloride is probably safer option I got like CH3CH2CO^+ as the elctrophile?

Me too

Q1
Rate equation for [RCl] [OH^-] reaction

rate =k[RCl ][OH- ] both first order

k=1.24

Units = mol-1dm3s-1 (2nd order reaction - check picture to see units)

Overall order is 2

4 marks

Elimination mechanism for a molecule with ethanolic NaOH

Step 1: C5H12 -> C5H11+ +...

Step 2: C5H12 + Br -> C5H10 + H2O

There was also a 3 marker abt why a Racemic mixture is formed (idk what question)

Rate determining step: Step 1

Explanation: RDS only contains C5H11Br (or whatever it was) and this is what is also present in the rate equation

Mechanism: Elimination - 3 curly arrows - first to adjacent hydrogen, then hydrogen bond to C-C bond then C-Br bond breaks to form alkene

Another isomer formedis it this? Yh thats the mechanism but had to be displayed formula

I think the mechanism was slightly different though? Like they had the carbocation formed first and then the final product- yeah so strange

Yh I was thinking the same

Fairly certain this should be an E1 mechanism, not a standard elimination

Yh thats what i did it also didnt mention major or minor product so think that was a clue

7 marks

Think mechanism should be in 2 steps, as rate equations showed this

Draw the other isomer formed

The double bond just in the other place

(correct) -1 / 2 - 2 bromo so alkene either on c1 ir c2

No, this one was the BR the optical isomer is the other question like the J M one where they give u molecular forumal. I think. The EZ one is like an alcohol elkene

Was it not optical ismoer?? Ohhh yess

Wasn’t it E/Z

Isomer L and the equation, two conditions and color change for full oxidation (think it was a primary alcohol)

Represent oxidising agent with [O]

Equation: smth… + 2[O] -> smth + H2O

Condition 2: Excess acidified potassium dichromate

(it already stated this in the question no?)

Condition 1: Heat under reflux

Color change: Orange to green

I put. 1[O] :/ so do i :( ME TOO BAB

How many marks was this?my dumbo put orange to colourless im crine

Omg i crossed out acidified potassium dichromate ahh im so mad

Bond Enthalpy

484 kj mol right

I got 490, darn - bru i got -6500

I got 72.5

Wavelength question

wavelength= 354

E=5.6*10^-19 Do the bond enthalpy of C-Cl divided by avogadro, sub that value into the equation E=(hc)/λ and rearrange to find the wavelength/λ
5.88* 10^-19

Did it not round to 355? Maybe ???

name the HFC

2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-(1)-ene

(alkene group has priority)

I thought the same about the priority stuff alkene with low est number

No need for number as only one position where double bond can go in propene?

No need for number on prop-1-ene

You do need a number I think. Not sure actually but doesn’t hurt to put it in.

Use of CFC

Refrigerants/coolant in fridges

/aerosol sprays/degreasing solvent/fire extinguishers/ propellant STOPPPP I PUT REFRIGRATORS

WELPPPP - (SAAMEEE)

Initiation step

CF2Cl2-> .CF2Cl .Cl

(unpaired electron needs to be on carbon)

CH2F2

Draw shape of molecule

Explain the strongest intermolecular forces

Oh noo i didnt do it 3D :/

Broski H has to be connected to F to be hydrogen bonding

-> its VDW and u explain induced dipole due to random movement of electron density

M1 - structure

(M1 - Random movement of electron density creates a temporary dipole

M2 temporary dipole induces a dipole in adjacent molecule

M3 - Attraction between the slightly positive carbon and slightly negative F in an adjacent molecule

Shape of IF4 shown in an image

Charge

Bond angle

Explanation

+1 ///swear this is meant to be a 1+???yh i put that as well . has i lone pair . guys i put 87.5 degrees for the bond angle would that be right asked ai and its saying 90 degrees so cooked. (T SHAPE)

117.5 bond angle

Lone pairs repel more than bonding pairs of electrons, squeezing bond angle by 2.5o from 120o

4 bonding pairs and one lone pair of electrons. Lone pair repulsion > bonding pair repulsion.

Repel to be as far apart from each other as possible

Ione pair reduces bond angle by 2.5 degrees

87.5 degrees

I put 118 did anyone else? I put 118 tooI PUT 117.5 i put 104.5

Will probably be a range

Do we get marks for 118 in past exam question ive seen ranges between 117-119 i think so long as its smaller than 120

Did anyone else think it was -1?

3 marks

Amino acid

Third option down

Ser - Ala - Asp - Ser

Hydrolysis of amino acids with HCl balance the equation

2 4H+ and 2

Only need to draw one as it said species formed

But there was a line to put 2 in front? - to balance

What is used to reveal amino acid

Identify amino acid 3

Explain

How to find Rf value of spot

Main Nmr Structure H1

H-C-C

How many marks?

END OF QUESTIONS

HOW MANY NMR QUESTIONS

Discussion

How did everyone find it???mixed - it could have been 2025 i was struggling w time tho sm- bro SAME i litch hadd to check the time like 300x also someone in mye xam threw up like multiple times eww heck no that would throw me off our school also put us in the dance studio where we had to read of this tiny clock

if u studied hard u probably feel like u did worse cause u focus on the stuff u got wrong, either way that paper pmo why was there a physics question and a triangle bonded to an oxygen

Idk it was mid? I think there were huge timing issues for me that led to a lot of skipped marks

They actually taken the mick cause what- i am sos cared for KC i noramally always score well -but i got 2x the ansnwer - i know id get method marks but thats sucha n easy amrk lost

Icl it was better than 2025 bc i think i wouldve gotten shafted that year but still not as good as 2024 and previous papers, think hopefully gb will reflect this - bro i did 2025 as my mock and cried the whole way home - like soem kind of american tv character like what

Did aqa run out of things to ask - why were we using paper 1 content - iknow it was simple biut still also bond enthalpy i froze and messed up horrensoudly fr i completely blanked i was jus focusing on organic and rates and stuff

Why did we use Kc when it was gases i still dont understand why they gave Kc?

Kc is for both gas and like solutions almost got me doubting myself, dw bro the math is the same dont stress i m sure u did well yh i got 17.9 or whatever it was 17.9 or smth so yh dont stress yh hats what i meant yh sick see so dont stress and units were like idk i forgot mol2dm-6? Looks abt right (moldm^-3)/(moldm^-3)^3 = mol^-2dm^6

2h2 so you have one mole of product as numerator then alr love u understand?makes sense?

bro i did the right thing then crossed it out and used mole fractions 🥴

CO + 2H2 -> CH3OH

I would guess Kc especially gives ECF s

It was increase the pressure to shift eqm to the RHS right? For the last one yesss

I got 35 but when i divide it by 2 on my calc its the correct asnwer idk wher ethe flp i went wrong

I can feel my offer slipping away(real bro byee bye med fr like pls no i dont want to do the ucat again) fr that was torture bro i need to clutch up paper 3 genuinely ne same but its only out of 90 so just gonna have to get full marks which ive never done before fairs icl im so bad at mcqs too its gg really i like the mcqs moreyh i think icl i havent done mcqs in a long time and i was really bad at chem then so i would just guess with my calculator how do u revise for this paper i used flashcards, but icl what got me is that atom economy q i blanked and made silly mistakes throughout like not doing orange to green wait what was orange to green apparently the colour change for oxidation i blanked and quickly said orange to colourless omg how many marks was that bc i changed it to blue to red i think like 1 or 2 i made so many silly mistakes this time like i put temp for the equilibrium and i also put the wrong answer for nmr

Nmr i just used the stuff in the booklet i didnt deduce it bc i didnt have time im so finished no same im done ii left thinking it was fine but then i realised how many mistakes i made exactly bro and it didnt help me my friend saying he got like 95+ no way what does he do to revisehes a genius bro.

Icl i might be on for an A if im lucky only because

Cl for paper 3 watch its going to be some diabolical electrochem questions im telling u revise this fully -nah i m gonna kms WHAT THE FLIP AMN ELECTROCEHM CAN SMD

Waits guys i have a question for the big long answer Qq - I FORGOT To mention branching -like syrface contact poitns that would lead t oa reduced mp and mp cause vndw would bepcme weake r- is it that bad that i forgot ti - or do you think the mention of increase electrons and vndw become stronger is better?

It was ok.

It was pretty shit icl

Man a levels this year been on some next smoke aqa treating me as if i murdered their children - true - i feel like aqa examiners live on those lamp posts and all year long plan to make really hard papers and envision children crying - like while drinking watered down tea yfm

Genuinely star is not happening icl [heartbroken emoji]. I thought chem was my stronger out of physics and chem. REAL. no past paper i have ever done has been that painful

I did straight chains for both and said H bonding and vdw forces for alcohols

How did everyone find it compared to p1? I thought it

was better than p1 threw me off with the 8 questions and no electrochem

E0 is defo in paper 3. Live laugh love E0 (trauma bonded)

Mann its gna be some long practical or smth

Same tbh I dont like electrochem but I revised it and I totally expected it to comeup

I feel like the content inthis paper was good but did anyone find timing issues like a lot?

Honestly ^^ im glad thers no electrochemical cells with P1, can never figure it out

PAPER 3 is gona eat me tf alive what is going oun - compaared to 2025 it was better NO JINX but genuinely i feel liek that weird emchanism looke dlike a printinge rror cause why was ther a triangle -they couldnt have just given a cute little nucleopilligc addition eleimi ation -NO A TRAINGEL ! wait wait wait hold on man said nucleophillic addition elimination??????? No i emant they could have given a known mechanism liek something weve learnt - i didnt learn all of carboylic acid for jackS to show up yeah icl games gone -dont say that NO jinx youve prolly done beter than what you thought - aload of ppl talking are like medicine will NOT be my career yeah word i mean paper 3 is going to infested with Elevtrochmeicla which is wrost topic in the spec

I agree I was tryna figure that out myself for so long

I thought epoxy group wasnt on spec anymore?? My teacher said it wasnt. I mean u can work it out anyway but wasnt expected. What the heck how are ethers not?? I feel like theyre common. But then we never rlly fully learnt about them they were just kind of expected . claiming this colour

No idea? Who knows ethers technically arent on spec (I THINK) but they always get snuck into nmr qs in previous years as application

We could work out boundaries by gathering marks?? Like if people estimate a range using thai doc then we could have a guess. Would need to adjust though because people on this doc are probably likely to have scored higher than average. Bro i promise it aint that deep dont stress

Any grade boundaries predictions? I feel like its gna be similar

Could you imagine this being ayour resit tho id cry - betterthan 2025 tho

The triangle one was fine becaus it ended up being the same molecules by just using one of the bonds to charge the oxygen

Bro who drew this lmao nah its calm i respect the effort

Ok same same I called this nucelophillic additionme too me too

Yeah mybad my slime, yk what i mean though

Honestly such a strange suggest question yeah same, lone pair from the water so must be nucleophile yeah then the lone pair of the singlely bonded O then attacks the H of the tripely bonded O then u get yeah the thing

Those two paes tho the one previous abt some Z isomer yeah long day

That was so shit I SWEAR to you net total of 0 marks collected from that page

Real. i thought that was my better paper out of 1 and 2 but that was NOT.

Paper 1 you found bad? I didnt find it as good as i would have hoped but looking at the student made ms after makes it not as bad

Yuuurrrp aslong as u remember to draw the curly arrow from the -H bond to the positive O ur fine 100%

There was sm suggest I feel

What percent are we guessing the grade boundaries are gonna be. Hoping like 66% for an A but probs closer to 70

No way that high? Itys how high it was last year so

Bad drawing from me but that second line is meant to be a minus

Paper three is gonna be 5 qs of straight practical after practical even all the mcq are gonna be practical im calling it whole paper will be electrochem like im talking 20 marks minimum gg there goes uni

Cl these a levels confirmed med is just not my career path icl bro i shoulve done a levels in 2022 they had advance info guys had the whole paper handed to them feel like i missed my offer man i screw offer i missed life bro a levels 2026 have acc been unreal maths paper 1 couldve atleast bought me a drink first before shafting me im so grateful i dropped it so lucky broi i genuinely think y12 me couldve gotten more marks on the 2025 maths paper than me on the 2026 papaer nah i dropped it 2 months ago

Naur - did it for my mock and it was horor - if i did it i porlly would have cried again - like i idd in my mock - it was embarrasing - and it rained proper pathetic fallcy

Properties of period three oxides? I dont remember tht on paper 1 oh right yh ohh yh i forgot ab those questions mb

Only like a couple of marks for aluminumand the Fe transition metal complex ye

Any predictions for paper 3 topics? Lol

Electrochemistry, Kp, some more transition metals because i dont think we’re finished with it. Also reactions of group 7, maybe some thing on DNA, TOF

Maxwell boltzmann distribution?

Percentage uncertainty calc?

never bc it cam paper 1 on abt some amphoteric Al2O3

Yeah but it was so short and also the first question abt ionistaion and then also the melting point question abt al and Si so like it was decently tested

Electrochem - practical perhaps? Hydrogen or lithium ion cells ?

I feel like more NMR, q9 was relatively easy NMR

Electrochem. JINX

Time of flight maybe? Now this is niche i rate it

Mass spec I think - none of that was in p1

Kp did not come up either tbf they gave us a 6 marker kc they wont give a kp then prob

Electrochem - 50 marker

What 50 - are you tring to curse paper 3 a levle chem bro im TELLING you electrochem like minimum it will be 30 marks

Probably some draw the apparatus questions i hate those could nt they ge like ionisation

Electorchem worst topic on the spec like deadass id rather draw the whole mechanism synthesis chart than do an eleectrochem

rcrystallisation ? or maybe an ester or aspirin practical

Gang someone give me tips how do u get full marks on paper 3.

The answers are there for multiple choice we just got to pick the right one - thanks we all know the coughing method right whats that???

Hahahahah

Someone pray for me please, word us all bro inshallah anjad

Guys do we think for atom economy question, there will be ecf ? 100%

Yeah probably ECF for Kc as well

Guys submit ur predictions here and we can have a guess at boundaries

My guy im telling u it aint that deep

Electrode potential hasn't come up, they might give the most niche questions questions of electrode potential for the next paper. I expected Kp/TOF to come up in this paper and then TOF for paper 1. Maybe TOF will come in p3. But I don't think grade boundaries will change, maybe they'll bring it down to 79/78% for an a*

its so over

Anonymous tiger its not over nah ™ twin u got this

We have just begun

But u can only get 90 marks on paper 3

theres no way i fumbled KC

Bro im telling u half the country did asw like i got to a private school of neeks they all did asw dont stress u got ecf asw

Its okay i fumble done amrk on it CAUSE IGOT DOUBLE THE ANSWER HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN - i must have acicdnetly multipled something by 2 - but i think id stil lget error carried forward marks yeah bro man said double idk how one got that - wow aanymous tiger i was being nice to you never minddd who th is anonymous tiger anonymous tiger is the one that responded -atleast it shows up as that on my screen ah man im fried bro im not violating im just saying dont stress bare ppl flopped it dont stress - youve prolly done better than what you thi kanyways p-like i nthe structured aanswer Qs 100% but the cooked question was that 7 marker on ab some elimination - which the alkene one - i complttely mirsread and drew some alkene but then corrected it libro idk what the hell i was doing that question like anjad wrote straight bs and 7ta the question abt z isomer of some alkene - its okay anonymous tiger (thats yur screen - alr good luck for paper 3 anonymous tiger likewise - do youno tgeet anonymous animal for random ppl on google sheets no. anonymous (idk ur name) anonymous unicorn who th is that - me duh anyways gl for apper 3 - pretend paper 2 didnt occur yeah safe likewise

Nah I also think I messed up Kc, I cant even remember the final value

Realistically its gna be similar grade boundaries to last yr

Guys i accidentally put 99% atom economy locked in 99???? ‘Full marks for u dw” yeah who ever wrote that is straight violating . ik but i got that in the calculator and the time ran out

i got 50 smth

bc i added sulfuric 🫩- I put sulfuric acid too but i got 50.4%

Lowkirk for the acid question did you do like, the reagant plus acid no no basically u write the alchol —> alkene + h2o

How many marks was the atom economy question? 5 marks - was that for the calculation alone

No no that was for the reagent, equation and calculation what was the reagent? I wrote concentrated h2so4 but idk i did that too but i didnt say conc i think u should be okay dw bro okay thanks safe

Oh ngl that makes me feel better, got at least 1 mark for reagent I hope but idk if I said concentrated I just said sulfuric acid

or just the regant becuase its acid catalyst from what im seeing idt you add the acid as its reformed lowk i added the acid so i lost the mark

I just did org = org plus water because its reformed right? Yeah 86% yup i think the actual answer was like 80 sth idek

Anybody else think the paper was alright but you just screwed it up like i think im getting a U </3 like for paper 1 I missed like half the questions because my brain stoppe dworking and for this paper ive been sick all day and felt like i was hallucinating but everyone else seems to have found it alright 😭 OMG hope u are okay its over in a week we got this <3 thank you <333 hopefully paper 3 is full of practicals and ELECTRODE POTENTIAL CELLS. OMG NO THATS SO HARD HAHA. BUT IT HASSS TO COME UPPP IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON PAPER ONE I REVISED SO HARD FOR IT AND IT DIDN’T EVEN COME UP. WE CAN LCOK IN FOR THOSE TOPICS NOW AT LEAST !! i wish I need to revise for bio paper 2 because that’s not looking any better 🙁 SAME BIO PAPER 1 WAS AWEFUL (AQA). bananas </3 and deer

Agreed and there was like 21 marks of extended questions? Like what was going on there

Application was crazy honestly it felt like a PAPER 2 with paper 1 content, and now that means paper 2 should hopefully feel like a paper 1 with recall but it’s gonna be harder anyway because paper 2 content is harder. agreed!

I agree and when I was doing the paper it rlly did feel like a p2 with every single qs being linked to an application. No clear practicals either? YThat confused me a lot I was so grateful to see the 6 marker on dna replciation. yeah fr also i didnt understand the graph Qs helpp. I skipped he banan qs with the enzyme and the lipase inhibition with the soybean or wtvr that was? Man for the banana question I started writing about how more glucose would prevent the enzyme from breaking apart the chlorophyll but then I realised how is a green banana going to be more ripe so I lowk just gave up. Same but tbh i still dont know the answer- it deffo confused many ppl. Hopefully the question is reviewed and marks are adjusted or smth cuz it sucked FR.

Why was there a graph with different types of shading i had no idea how to read it- ME NEITHER!!!!

I think you had to plot the locations as coordinates and see which shaded area it fell under. I realised that way towards the end and it amde me skip other qs- aww yeah i got that wrong. It just annoys me smth so simple is never obvious to me with aqa. Aqa just being evil this year

Omg bio paper 2 im so scared of…gene technologies and everything (Aqa) bio p1 was so bad i ran out of time and missed sm. Same i performed so bad.. Both chem and bio have not gone that great tbh only psychology

Ohh hope you feel better IM GAY HAHA yeah

Yeahh I skipped the 6 marker and the titration qs and some other things in p1 as well… miserable. Yep even worse idk how ppl found it ok. The structure was so different to previous yrs illiek only 8 qs and they went so deep into each topic? Ikr AQA is tryna make it so confusing idk why. Probably to stop grade boundaries from inflating ig? Yeah and bcos every year we get more past papers/ resources?

Yeah im guessing its to stop it from being so high that its just sill ymarks leading t olosses and so not a wide enough range of canddiates are being tested.

Ahh hopefully not, thing is its so hard to guess marks for the worded questions especially bc its AQA

Same I did one mark maybe for converting the wavelength to Nanometres

I found it awful. Skipped the planks constant question. Cried after. Man this was the most weird ahh question i ever seen thought i was in a physics paper

Bro i wish we had some cute tollens ragent or fehling solution - but they watsed those marks on plank constant !so cute OMD LITCH WHERE WAS TOLLENS REAGENT

YEAHH even when I saw J and K i was concvinced it would be a which reagent to test the difference and then it wasnt…

Or like flipping electroneGativity definition –

2026 a level season HAS to be the worst one so f

Man said to me 7 marker on some bs like boiling points

-compared to 2025 has to be second - bc 2025 was actually shambles war crime 2026 was like 2 days afyer shamble war crime

Brother i dc what anyone says our bio paper 1 was genuinely a war crime

Cl anonyomous tiger i did ocr a bio and the paper seeme dliek the examiners wanted kids to cry so i cant disagree - icl bio ocr a was easier than I expected but i expected it to be harder so I prepared for the harder topics and lwk neglected module2, and then triglycerides was half the paper

Word bro aqa bio was a form of direct abuse - i told mt teacher that i thoguht aqa examienrs live i nthose lamp stuff at sea and giggle while making Q over watered down tea- to make kids cry - she laughed so it cant be too far from the truth

I hope the boundaries for aqa bio p1 go down because even miss estruch said it felt more difficult (her vid on p1 came out yesterday) l

Guys why did i get 267 for kc question - 267? Did you multiply for the wrong factor - no i checked it like three times - i saw other people got it aswell

u r volumes may have been wrong or you prob didnt square the conc of the H2 yeah i did

Yeah mate ima br idk wait did u divide the volume they give us thinking it was in cm^3

I did but i was already in dm3 you divided the volumes by 1000? No wasnt it already in dm3 anyway i wouldve had the same just ou factors of 10

Nah did you divide by dm^3 to get concentration? Yeah but we just checking abt the volume

Yeah yeah i was just checking did u do products over reactants?

Yes conc/reactants so it was like Kc = [CH3OH]/[CO][H2]^2

Yeah it was that and u got 267?

Yeah im acc so confused - i saw other people got it aswell idk

Smth like that I think

Yeah sorry mate idk whats gone on then lol its okay tho bro dont stress sure u did well just lock in on p3 dont stress yhh i need to do damage control on p3 lmao icl i think p3 will be shambles man said electrochem like thats coming up for 15 marks asw bc nothing in p1 and what about carboxyllic acids ahh. Idc what anyone says organic is wayyy better than physical and inorganic- personally i disagree i hope paper 2 went well then : bro what the hell is vanadium ions got to do with anything

Im glad i didnt do aqa bio imagine doing aqa chem bio and edxexcel maht sthis year in one sitting id prolly cry - this is why i didnt take maths <3 – a litch i dropped it two months ago bc ik it wouldnt go well - i feel bad for the math warriors - but like they literally need to learn alphabet with maths so idk why they would do it to themselve si nthe first place - but my a star friends were crying so i can only imagien that actually sucks it was alot harder this yr apparently - anonymous penguin im an empath when they cried i cried - litchfelt so bad. Honeslty no tears left to cry anymore like genuinely im finsihed

How is everyone revisign for bio p2 - prolly gonna revise i na bit after i get over chem thats so

Yeah jsut tryna get over chem for now then start bio.. Yeah same still recovering bro in my exams i feel like i have parkinson disease the amount i SHAKE. cant wait for a back to ba

Yeahh any ideas for predicteds for bio? I read somewhere that respiration may be big this year idk. Im hoping with how much application on p1 its a bit more knowledge based.

real sign bio petition already done

So doesnt everyone have anonymosu animal as other people’s screen names

What even is Quagga

Guys ik youd be happy but i swear i lost like so many marks im so dine-same.

jinx yeah it took me abt a year to NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOclock it was a benzene ring (SAME) but man that whole paper was pain yeah never wanted to get out of exam more than i did then. BRO PAPER 1 of bio was genuinely the equivalent of mental molestation paired with some sort of war crime HAHAHAHAH - did you do aqa - yeah bro this was the worst thing i have ever encountered in my life aqa bio apper 1 like no joke i swear to you during that exam i was reconsidering my career pathway like it was so bad. aqa is being bullies this year. So sad

On everything that banana question raped me, banan and deer question had me in state ive never felt so vulnerable in my life. HAHAHAHA. Bro guys at one point i asked the invigilator if bananas are yellow HAHAHAHAHAHA. Invilagotr may have saved ur grade there.,OLLOLlmaoooo bro it was such a bad paper like anjad terrible

Word bro straight aids fest of a subject

Alr bro es were murdered - and my sister got really depressed - and though she was mart flipposed chemistry - so she got like an E - she resat and got A star - also this wa sin like 2025 - gradevboundaries were high but she aced it-ik it may be more difficult cause of your circumstance s- but one abd exam does not determine your entire trajectory - she moved past it and did really well and is studying at kcl now :)
Sorry my g

look .spin yo partner round and roundddd - is this just dance - or am i trip yeah its the song timber on just dance

anonymou s leopard ik it prolly feels really stressful rn - and i can understand - bc ive had times wheremy parents genuinely i cant - during gcse’s - i litch could study in my home and everyone was on my case - also had like a load of immune diseases - but i did well - stuff will work out one way or another - may not feel like it right now - but a elvels arent be all end all - you can always resit if you really want to /need to - and also when stressed we tend to overempahse how abd weve done

Guys do we remember the exact topic of each ques

Icl ive had these thoughts before a leveps but ts lowkey made me lose hope

- i dont want to tryaGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Does anyone remember the rest of the qs because there's till around 12 marks missing also some of these qs are repeats

That infrared spectra bond choice - i think it was c double bond o

The multiple choice - like a single Q

Is that all thats left

Do we know how many marks this mark scheme covers? 105 for p2 but this one apparently covers 93 but some of the questions on the ms are repeated I hope theres more cos im only on 54 rn and i need an A :
