Asked people what they thought of the exam, most thought it was good to easy. I suppose the curve would be high, around 47-49/60 for A

I think it was really easy, as did most around me... I'm not an expert so far as predicting GTs, but I would expect it to be really high compared to the last few years.

i dont wanna know if what i will say is discussing a paper or not. if it is please tell me and i will delete my post because i am not willing to discuss but i just have a general question.

if we use hot acidified MnO4 on a double bond which had RCH=CRH it will oxidise to carboxylic acids? if i only oxidized it to aldehyde do i lose marks for that or both are accepted ?

in the book it says it first gets oxidised to aldehyde and then Carboxylic acid so i dont think they will deduct marks
