Chem p33 grade thresholds? My paper went terribly :'(

[mujtabashahnawaz]

initially it was green but turned yellow afterwards

I just wrote it turned green, because it had only 1 mark

I wrote bromide too :/ but it was iodide

I think there is a difference between yellow and cream ...i got cream ppt and i wrote bromide....

 

[sammykhan123]

mine was green too ...light green

rely..bt mine didnt!!!shud it turn yellow???

 

[littlecloud11]

nah, it was iodide for sure...

actually iodide give quite a bright ppt with silver but the ppt was much lighter and also closer to cream. it also partially dissolved in ammonia. pretty sure it was bromide.

Well, the examiners accept a range of colors. the solution turned apple green first, so dnt worry i think you'll be safe.

no idea till we see the mark scheme ....leave it what has happened has happened we shouldnt be ruining our time on what has already been done

Lol! I'm giving my whole A'levels at the same time. And it wasn't the hardest paper you can encounter. There have been harder practicals in the past but the grade threshold hasn't fallen to 25 yet. The paper was only length. Some people left a few marks at the end just because of time and not because it was difficult.

Oh, I see. And yeah, I think you're right because my Chemistry teacher also said the paper wasn't that hard (though I dunno how he knows, but whatever). Still, judging by most of the posts in this thread and asking some of my friends who gave P33 the paper seemed to be a bit hard.

 

[izzahzainab]

nah, Sialkot

Because the exact same thing happened with me. reporting time was 9:45 and practical started at 3:45......... as expected, it went horribly.
