Chemistry P1 and P2 today

[altox876]

Saad I need your help again bro. Answer me whenever youre free coz im sure tomorrow's ur math. I m not familiar with the weightage of individual papers let say i get 58 in my atp 35 in my mcqs and 67 in my p2. Am i eligible for an A*?

The scoring is done as follows: ATP marks are scaled out of 30 so your 58 will be 29/30. Your total marks then add up to 131/145 which is about 90%. CIE keeps Science thresholds below 90% generally so you will have a good chance of an A*

the correct answer to this was that Mg looses 2 electrons and sodium looses 1 electron the more electrons element looses more stable it gets and strong electrostatic forces of attraction is also...

Yeah, just simply mention, that magnesium oxide has greater charge on it's ions and hence a greater electrostatic force of attraction between them.

 

[Saad Mughal]

yeah so wouldnt we

get a mark if we name an oxidising agent and tell that ethanoic acid and water are formed. Basically i wrote about the oxidizing agent, the products and also gave the equation. Would i get 2?

They said describe the method so I think you will only get 1. But nobody can be sure!

According to the normal grading standards (i.e. A* = 90%) you will yes. However, CIE grades candidates according to thresholds which change according to the difficulty of the paper.
Now, in my opinion, I believe that the thresholds could range from 88-92 % for A*, the reason is that P1 was slightly difficult whereas P2 and P4 were easy, which means that there would not be MUCH change in the grading standard. So, yes, you have every chance of getting an A*.

Thats good to hear thankyou

But P3(practicals) wasn't very easy. There were a no. of weird salt tests, where different students got different observations. And my titration value wasn't very accurate either.

yea man and guess what our lab students didn't get CO2 gas but the students in the other lab got...this was the most annoying thing ever happened with me...how will we know our chemicals are pure or not??...i was not satisfied with the chemistry practical arrangements at all!

Oh.. I didn't know about the practical. :/

 

[Saad Mughal]

what the hell p3 pakistan may hota ha we were forced to do p4 and p6

Paper 6?

 

[Kamihus]

Paper 6?

Its Biology

 

[Taha Haqqani]

u guys are lucky to give atps...there are always the same answers..but in p3 there are variations and u may get contaminated chemicals...furthermore i didnt get a splinter to test the gases though i asked fr it..

 

[Kamihus]

i wanna do p3 p4 and p6 arnt interesting!!

Don't worry you'll give practicals in A-Levels

 

[Kamihus]

wait a minute if p3 would be difficult then percentile can change for everyone who did p4 and p6

No, the thresholds are separate for every paper and are then added

 

[Kamihus]

the total is equal for every one i means their percentile in p3 or in our pprs can have an impact on totals!

Nah, it isn't equal. Its different for all the choices.

 

[Taha Haqqani]

u didnt get the splinter i wasnt given Water which i asked for 20 times even then they didnt gave me and when i finished my ppr they provided me the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but bro u didnt need water fr the experiments..splinter is so necessary fr testing any gas evolved

 

[Saad Mughal]

Pakistan, right?
My teacher told me thats why there aren't any practicals here due to the chemicals and that stuff

Lol, students end up making bombs.

 

[Taha Haqqani]

hehe..

 

[Taha Haqqani]

i was asking water to drink -_-

yar meri tou pyaas hi urh jati hai exams ke doran..
