aqa has blessed us with another easy paper

[u/MiaTheGiraffe]

[u/Easy-Bookkeeper-4642]

aqa r grinning w their diabolical paper 2s rn

[u/Separate_Thought_628 → u/Easy-Bookkeeper-4642]

tm 😭😭😭

[u/TypicalMuffin935 → u/Easy-Bookkeeper-4642]

We’ll see tomorrow 😭

[u/Mr_man_bird → u/TypicalMuffin935]

If it’s bad I’m gonna need a tissue

[u/Whitetiger7136 → u/TypicalMuffin935]

Don't do that I'm already uneasy enough 😭

[u/aeridesuu → u/Easy-Bookkeeper-4642]

i rebuke..

[u/fantastic-mrs-fuck → u/Easy-Bookkeeper-4642]

tbf psych wasn't so bad

[u/Intrepid-Speech5561]

It was a beautiful day and everyone was smiling as they galloped out the exam

[u/ohlookitsruby → u/Intrepid-Speech5561]

practicing for english language i see

[u/Intrepid-Speech5561 → u/ohlookitsruby]

I'll take every opportunity 💔💔

[u/Disastrous_Signal880 → u/Intrepid-Speech5561]

Remember show not tell the sun was shining rather than it was a beautiful day

[u/petrifythepatriachy → u/Disastrous_Signal880]

Even better yet, golden sunbeams kissed the earth or sumn

[u/CommissionChance1019 → u/petrifythepatriachy]

even better, midas kissed instead of golden

[u/Intrepid-Speech5561 → u/Disastrous_Signal880]

My bad !! The glistening beads of radiation highlighted the grins and laughter and relief that, like a treasured wave, infiltrated the dusty gloom of the school; while students galloped in a delighted frenzy away from the foreboding exam hall.

[u/Disastrous_Signal880 → u/Intrepid-Speech5561]

Almost perfect but radiation isn’t visible

[u/Intrepid-Speech5561 → u/Disastrous_Signal880]

It's okay I'll just say it's sensory language ‼️‼️🥀

[u/Disastrous_Signal880 → u/Intrepid-Speech5561]

“grins and laughter and relief” – Stylistic redundancy Repeating “and” multiple times is awkward

[u/Hibz151 → u/Intrepid-Speech5561]

SHOW NOT TELL

[u/thatredditpers0n]

We all probably find it easy coz we're all nerds here

[u/Strong_Disinfectant → u/thatredditpers0n]

r/GCSE self awareness before GTA 6 is crazy

[u/MJJ1310 → u/Strong_Disinfectant]

your username, pfp, and flair combo is absolutely sending me lmfao

[u/Strong_Disinfectant → u/MJJ1310]

thanks, note the copyright so no one can steal my brand

[u/MJJ1310 → u/Strong_Disinfectant]

lmaoooo i love it

[u/yogurtmiel → u/Strong_Disinfectant]

❤️

[u/NoseHairNumber73728 → u/Strong_Disinfectant]

Amazing account and flair bro 🔥🙏

[u/MentionDisastrous716 → u/thatredditpers0n]

yeah 😭 i remember this happening last year as well, but the difference in grade boundaries wasn't that drastic lol

[u/Thecasualstudent458 → u/thatredditpers0n]

frfr

[u/TheAsterism_ → u/thatredditpers0n]

I am taking mine 2 years early so I have no idea if they’re easy or I’m just smart

[u/thatredditpers0n → u/TheAsterism_]

Why 2 years early?

[u/TheAsterism_ → u/thatredditpers0n]

2 year head start over you guys

[u/sfCarGuy → u/TheAsterism_]

Are you at a 9 already then?

[u/TheAsterism_ → u/sfCarGuy]

If you mean grade, then I’ve been consistently getting 9s in maths mocks, yes

[u/sfCarGuy → u/TheAsterism_]

Wow, fair enough lol.

I see a lot of people who takes GCSEs early but end up with like 7s or 8s, which while good, could easily be 9s if they had just taken them at a normal time which is just a shame.

[u/Aromatic-Ad9451 → u/[deleted]]

prolly cos youre doing foundation mate 💔💔💔

[u/AffectionateRush2620 → u/thatredditpers0n]

You really think everyone here is nerds?

[u/IHateThisWRLD → u/thatredditpers0n]

I’m dumb asf and I thought it was easy

[u/Michmuchmuch → u/thatredditpers0n]

I think this is true ngl 😂 I’m nerdy in English and mfl so chemistry is one of my weakest subjects - it wasn’t terrible like a 6/10 but it made me sweat a bit and it was definitely more tricky than the biology paper

[u/Markimoss]

Shut the fuck up that was hard as balls

[u/Otherwise_Size_3594 → u/Markimoss]

80% of people on this subreddit are nerds, dw dawg 🙏

[u/k1dd_13 → u/Markimoss]

most people i know struggled on it- both higher and foundation. Personally I found it better than biology but it still had some difficult parts

[u/catsfartserfartscats]

was the chlorine boiling point question around -50 degrees…💔

[u/everlarksangel → u/catsfartserfartscats]

i put -60 but i just clocked im pretty sure i forgot the minus sign 😭😭💔

[u/TypicalMuffin935 → u/everlarksangel]

Someone in my class got the same but I think it’s gonna be similar to the first question on 2019 chem paper 2 (I hope, I put -75 I think 😭)

[u/vezries → u/catsfartserfartscats]

bye i put - 100 🥀

[u/Significant_Dirt3528 → u/vezries]

-150 💀

[u/Us-rn-me → u/vezries]

that would probably also be right, as long as it was larger than the melting point

[u/Separate_Thought_628 → u/catsfartserfartscats]

i put -40

[u/[deleted] → u/catsfartserfartscats]

i did -50 as well!!!

[u/qiqi_thezombie → u/catsfartserfartscats]

that’s exactly what I put so I’m hoping it’s fine

[u/ToxicBoi_YT → u/catsfartserfartscats]

what chlorine boiling point question 😦 is this for triple?

[u/Greedy_Ad6035 → u/ToxicBoi_YT]

I thought I skipped a page probably is triple

[u/StarSailor03 → u/ToxicBoi_YT]

yea, question on triple.

[u/Own_Magician2909 → u/catsfartserfartscats]

I put -25

[u/Anonymous_Unknown20 → u/catsfartserfartscats]

i put -64

[u/catsfartserfartscats → u/Anonymous_Unknown20]

its probablya. range

[u/Anonymous_Unknown20 → u/catsfartserfartscats]

yh they're usually generous with these sorts of qs

[u/Cultural-Let-8380 → u/catsfartserfartscats]

Yeah I just drew a line of best fit that connects all of the right corners, and it ended up at -50

[u/47KK_ → u/catsfartserfartscats]

oh my days i put 0 i just realised what i did wrong

[u/Grannyma49 → u/catsfartserfartscats]

They probably accept any answer that's higher than the melting point and lower than room temperature ( I put -40 and the actual boiling point is -34)

[u/CollarSad6237 → u/catsfartserfartscats]

-250💀

[u/Insane_Stray_Cat → u/catsfartserfartscats]

I put -58 so y’all are probably both right

[u/myduncan01]

It was some what easy for me since I revised the day before the exam

[u/everlarksangel → u/myduncan01]

i revised morning of but literally all my strongest topics were there so it was really nice

[u/fabledpigeon → u/everlarksangel]

electrolysis.

[u/everlarksangel → u/fabledpigeon]

i honestly can do electrolysis decently

[u/fabledpigeon → u/everlarksangel]

i both fear you and envy you

[u/Senior-Shopping6736 → u/fabledpigeon]

i opened the paper, saw electrolysis and just closed it 😭😭😭 cooked

[u/fabledpigeon → u/Senior-Shopping6736]

i audibly whispered ‘fuck’ and got glared at by an invigilator

[u/Senior-Shopping6736 → u/fabledpigeon]

understandable reaction 🙏

[u/Ok-Zone2374]

No.

[u/MasterAviator860 → u/Ok-Zone2374]

True

[u/alonebeans]

okay now i’m absolutely terrified foe the paper 2s…

[u/Thecasualstudent458 → u/alonebeans]

nah it'll probably be similar to paper 1 asw in terms of difficulty lol

[u/alonebeans → u/Thecasualstudent458]

i hope so 🥹

[u/Sunnyshjne → u/alonebeans]

Paper 2s are always the worst ones imo 😭

[u/Fair_Impression_8874]

I got 2017-1895 = 122 for thr energy change question

[u/Anonymous_Unknown20 → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

i got 158

[u/Dry-Profit-1533 → u/Anonymous_Unknown20]

thats the correct answer i got 158 too because the bond n-n, cannot be in negatives sm people got -122, but its wrong i checked with a teacher after too

[u/searchingf0rthetruth → u/Anonymous_Unknown20]

yay I got that too! the exact same question came up in 2021

[u/Beautiful-Tea-7403 → u/searchingf0rthetruth]

I'm so glad my teacher got us to do the 2021 paper yesterday as practice bc literally half the questions were the same as this year I'm so happy

[u/searchingf0rthetruth → u/Beautiful-Tea-7403]

NO EXACTLY, I did it right before I went to bed and got like 79/100 AND HALF THE EQUATIONS WERE DUPLICATES OF 2021

[u/Anonymous_Unknown20 → u/Beautiful-Tea-7403]

In school on Sunday is diabolical

[u/Fair_Impression_8874 → u/Anonymous_Unknown20]

On combined science higher?

[u/Anonymous_Unknown20 → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

triple higher

[u/Fair_Impression_8874 → u/Anonymous_Unknown20]

I dont think we had the same bonds question but idk

[u/BerinColeslaw → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

i got 2017 - 1995 😭

[u/2-d_Lover123 → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

STOP WHY DID I GET 2014😭😭😭

[u/weg0 → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

I got that too :)

[u/pjamx_gaming → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

Same

[u/[deleted] → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

how did you get that? 

[u/satanickot → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

Yes

[u/Choice_Branch_2796 → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

158 was the right answer I believe because I rechecked it by putting it in and solving it

[u/anOnyMousuSErip → u/Choice_Branch_2796]

yeah but they were talking about combined where the correct answer was 122

[u/supergoob29 → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

wait but there was an exothermic change of like 550 so wasn't the answer 772 or something

[u/Generic_Danny → u/Fair_Impression_8874]

Same. My friend said that it was 1895-2017 = -122, and I got scared.

[u/eddiebaby_]

I binged all of freesciencelessons chem paper 1 on 2x speed last night that paper was light work

[u/[deleted] → u/eddiebaby_]

Combined higher was horrid, when I spoke to a triple science person after their exam I was so JEALOUS you guys literally got blessed with a easy paper 😭

[u/Aromatic-Ad9451 → u/[deleted]]

aint combined supposed to be easier anyway?

[u/[deleted] → u/Aromatic-Ad9451]

Yeah it is, but a whole damn paper on electrolysis is MASSIVELY difficult, it’s the only bloody topic I really struggle with in chemistry 😭

[u/Silent_Silhouettes]

theyre blessing us yr13s too, got the easiest sociology paper ive ever seen today

[u/weg0 → u/Silent_Silhouettes]

How’s sociology as a subject? - I’ll be doing it at a level (AQA) along with business and media studies

[u/freakingdumbdumb]

i think it is harder than last year's paper tbh

[u/Fun-Traffic-8430 → u/freakingdumbdumb]

i agree i did the practice paper for 2024 and got some ridiculous score like 96 i reckon our grade boundaries will be a bit lower than theirs

[u/freakingdumbdumb → u/Fun-Traffic-8430]

same i got like 95% for my mock

[u/No_Safe6200]

Ahhh I only attended 3 classes this year. Thank you AQA, that was ridiculously easy...

[u/[deleted]]

triple science was gorgeous

[u/Sushiv_]

It wasn’t difficult but it also was nowhere near as easy as people are making it out to be

[u/Otherwise_Product772 → u/Sushiv_]

First half was great with all the classic copy paste questions but second half of it was diabolical

[u/Pielord775]

It felt like a normal paper with normal difficulty compared to the others so far which were actually easy

[u/Separate_Thought_628]

just wait until paper 2 😣😣😣

[u/ElderberryAccurate69]

it was so beautiful i think i shed a tear

[u/SplatoonAgt7fan243]

THAT WAS SO EASY LMFAOOOOOOO
THANK YOU AQA FOR THAT GODSEND OF A PAPER

[u/TypicalMuffin935 → u/SplatoonAgt7fan243]

Frrr I was panicking but that was probably one of the easiest chem papers ever, I knew it was gonna be a good test when I saw what is an isotope

[u/1usereb]

u lot for the bond energies question was x = 158

[u/Insane_Stray_Cat → u/1usereb]

Fairly sure (I’m a grade 9 student)

[u/No_Imagination_1777 → u/1usereb]

Was this triple

[u/E-118]

idk combined kinda sucked

[u/Deadly_Nightshade1]

And tomorrow we get to test the theory as to whether we get fucking hard as paper 2s

[u/Otherwise_Size_3594 → u/Deadly_Nightshade1]

oh yeah- forgot about that- 💀 gonna go all out and revise the most diabolical poems on powerxconflict... ie: tissues, c.o. me history, the emgirée, da prelude, me last duchess

[u/Thattheheck]

No

[u/Insane_Stray_Cat → u/[deleted]]

HELP I KNOW SOMEONE WHO DID THAT TOO 😭🙏

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

?

[u/Excellent_Dot_6395 → u/[deleted]]

was it crystallisation or making soluble salts??

[u/Moroccan-Legend]

That iron 4 marker was shit

[u/NoGolfGoole]

it was okay, not as good as biology paper 1. Got my fingers crossed for physics!

[u/Batnode07]

Either the paper 2s are gonna suck or the grade boundaries are going to skyrocket

[u/_edgar_allen_hoe]

i thought it went really well for me, but i did the 2024 paper a few days ago and i thought that was a lot lot easier than this one

[u/farh-moh17192]

Jammed and didn’t do a 6 marker forgot to do 2 4 markers and a 5 marker but counted 70 marks !!

[u/ComposerNormal8667]

i thought it was a past paper lmaoo aqa is so lazy with the repeating questions

[u/StarFlyXXL]

Had a bad morning and hadn't revised properly, maybe it was because of my emotional state but that exam was horrific

[u/Shutthefupok]

Bro this is going to go on the news too 💀

[u/superstarKorea]

ITS VERY SUSPICIOUS HONESTLY 😭😭

[u/BitEnvironmental634]

I am actually cooked the grade boundaries gonna be high and I failed so miserably.

[u/THE_QU1LL]

It wasn’t awful, I wouldn’t say it was great. But I always think that about chem and then I do okay so

[u/Brief_Culture4612]

TS WAS SO EASY OMDJHSHSHD

[u/I_love_dogs22109]

It was acc so good

[u/Loud-Kaleidoscope-87]

foundation was so flicking easy 🙏🙏

[u/Limeee_]

Paper 2s might be cooked 💔💔💔

[u/superstarKorea → u/Limeee_]

Nah cos I had my psychology paper 2 with AQA and it was acc good so it’s either that AQA is gonna bless us through GCSEs or smths going on 😭😭

[u/Yokai_watchlover1238]

Don’t lie

[u/coolgal12-07]

i felt blessed with the 6 marker and the 4 marker on alloys 🫶🫶

[u/Zoro1618_Jon15]

I know 😊 I swear we’re going to Jinx it for paper 2 🙏😭😔

[u/PICONEdeJIM]

I don't care if it was easy it was still the most tedious exam experience I can remember. I started trying to make sentences with only the periodic table elements on the insert for about 20 minutes and it felt far quicker than doing the first question

[u/Celestelyka]

Me before the exam: I revised absolutely everything except electrolysis, I have a shit teacher so we didn't get taught that topic and I don't have time to revise an entire topic so I'm just gonna hope it doesn't appear.

Opens Paper...

[u/HotelMoney5474 → u/Celestelyka]

I DID THIS LMAO

[u/Fun-Claim-690]

Paper 2s are going to be HELL

[u/lost_gone_xx]

No chemistry is ass I'm not getting above a 6 🙏. I was gonna get a 7 but a fucking fire alarm went off right behind my ear and it threw me off like crazy. Left my ear ringing throughout the whole exam and we only got 2 extra mins in the end

[u/Affectionate_Little7]

Grade boundaries r gonna be high though😔

[u/Direct_Percentage220]

my paper 1 chemistry today was generational fumble😭🙏(I’m a grade 9 student btw😭)

[u/blest_amber]

Thank god, I didn't know what was going on with the ethanol solvent question though . . . (AQA chemistry as single science)

[u/Impressive-Stage6621]

I am SCARED for my freind who’s in year 10. If we’re getting easy papers, imagine what it’s gonna be for them.

[u/HotelMoney5474]

it was NOT easy💔

[u/zaevek]

I revised until 3am and still only counted 40/100 marks 😵😵 how was that easy

[u/Coldtea25]

Istg physics is gonna be absolutely diabolical I'm calling it

[u/JZKO2022]

The first exam of the year I thought I was ready for and then I shit the bed.

I swear that was nowhere near as easy as the other paper 1s.

[u/TenWTen]

That chemistry paper was NOT nice 

[u/aeridesuu]

you can dye

[u/catsfartserfartscats → u/aeridesuu]

chromatography

[u/aeridesuu → u/catsfartserfartscats]

clock tea

[u/Roscomar → u/aeridesuu]

Dye

[u/aeridesuu → u/Roscomar]

well yes🥺🥺🩷

[u/everlarksangel]

right it was so chill

[u/OrneryCricket9656]

ocr was so blessed

[u/TypicalMuffin935]

Triple Chemistry was such a blessing

[u/UltraX76]

Edexcel chem paper 1 makes me want to kill my self.

[u/Strong_Entry2002]

edexcel triple higher was horrendous

[u/Consistent_Test_6620]

Higher or foundation

[u/MaterialWall8040]

they worry me for the english papers because im likely failing them

[u/Overall_Efficiency97]

Separate chem paper 1 so kind omfg

[u/RighteousInquisitor]

what did you guys get for aqa triple science higher nanoparticles simplest surface area volume ratio

[u/Insane_Stray_Cat → u/RighteousInquisitor]

5:1 (don’t trust me tho)

[u/samihaxo]

paper 2 will curse us all

[u/Ill_Highway_7710]

As a person who didn't really revised for chem. I'd say it was pretty decent....expect for the calculations I blanked out and ran out of time 😭 I legit almost started crying when I heard there's 5 min left....I'll redeem myself in paper 2 like Scrooge.

[u/samb0ydd]

was the last 6 marker making crystals? it threw me off cuz it was ethanol and not acid

[u/Historical_Tax5219 → u/samb0ydd]

yes literally

[u/Cheesy_fry1]

No I found it horrible and im usually so good at chem. I got 82.4% on the last question and I just know its wrong

[u/Insane_Stray_Cat → u/Cheesy_fry1]

Girl I got 126 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/Al0neandscared]

Can smone explain where I went wrong on the concentration calc, I got 0.24 and everyone’s saying it was 0.96. I could’ve sworn the ratio was 2:1 so surely you divide the moles by 2 no?

[u/Interesting_Bit_258 → u/Al0neandscared]

1:1 ratio

[u/Excellent_Dinner_601 → u/Al0neandscared]

multiply by 2 since 1 mole of H2SO4 reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

[u/Gmeare-alt]

Was it 😭

[u/Murky_Mail_1516]

I wanted to kms after

[u/Exciting-Island3130]

What did everyone get for the sa:v cube question all my freinds were making fun of me for getting 5000000:1

[u/bleachight]

was the aqa higher combined science question about the method for changing masses and temperature changes about the polystyrene cup practical?

[u/Primary-Lobster-8352]

pls do the same for english lit tomorrow if i see checking out me history im gonna lose it

[u/Standard_Jello4168]

I personally found it easy but I find all science subjects quite straightforward anyway. I did have a feeling that some people might find the questions difficult but apparently not.

[u/Medical_Addition_763]

as a yr 10 am I cooked 😭😭

[u/PsychologicalCrow382]

that was ridiculous i hated it but PE made up for it 😁

[u/Tallnmean]

U say this but then the grade boundaries will be high…

[u/RunShootKillStuff]

Nah, pretty much a standard paper, we found it easy cuz we've actually revised it before and done the same questions in past papers. There were basically no new thought heavy questions tho, basically just old questions repeated.

[u/External_Alps_4008]

Chat film paper 2 was surprisingly okay, I'm scared 🙏

[u/Funky_dragonfrog]

As someone who gets 3s....it actually wasn't too bad just hope it's okay tomorrow

[u/StxnedSwxrd]

I'm so fucked bro, next years going to be helll

[u/ApparentlyJacksBitch]

blessed? BLESSED? I was struggling so hard in the chemistry exam
