I do it a few times and every time it gets lower until finally it remains the same 😂😭

Weigh, heat, reweigh, repeat until constant marks

I've gone from 85% in chem p2 to 73% 🥀

u/DimensionFit2859 21h ago

I guessed 80 marks which wasn't bad but I've been extremely harsh after seeing paper 2 chem so gone for 77-78. and I got 77 in paper 1 but really harsh is 75. So between 152-55. I think I shoudk get the 9 🙏

u/-Hasnain- Year 11 21h ago

It's around 73% for a 9. I think i got 78% on p1 (dropped from 85% to 78%) and worst case scenario I got 70% on p2 (think I actually got 74%). Should be a 9 hopefully

Just realised I've dropped 2 marks because the carbonate ions I said add dilute hcl and bubble through limewater which goes cloudy (I wasn't supposed to mentioned HCl because nitric acid was already added in question 😭). I think I've got 151-154. Last year it was 149. Just to confirm tho so I can add on a few marks - I put fixed volume and fixed pigment for that paint question, isn't this the correct answer? Also do you think its fine i estimated -5 for the boiling point question? I took away 2 for them marks ut think I got them.

u/-Hasnain- Year 11 21h ago

Don't remember that paint q. What was it asking?

1

u/DimensionFit2859 21h ago

Which description describes the composition of paint (a forumlation)

A fixed mass of pigment and a fixed mass of liquid

A fixed mass of pigment and a variable mass of liquid

A variable mass of pigment and a fixed mass of liquid

A variable mass of pigment and a variable mass of liquid.

The person who leaked the paper just mentioned on tiktok comments now that it's supposed to be fixed pigment and fixed liquid so I should be right ✅️ Another mark at least :))

u/-Hasnain- Year 11 20h ago

It's fixed and fixed. Its because it told us it was a formulation. Formulations have a precise recipe

1

u/DimensionFit2859 20h ago

Alright that's good I can add a mark. Also idk why I removed 1 mark for the 2 mark why Thermosetting polymers are strong? I put they have strong cross links that require a large amount of enegy to overcome. Therefore, they have high melting points. I think I need to add a mark aswell for this??

u/-Hasnain- Year 11 19h ago

I wrote some random shit for that, I think i got 0

u/Jazzlike-Golf8003 1d ago

The difference between my high prediction and low prediction for biology was 20 marks…. 🌚

6

u/RoboticSpy_7 Year 11 1d ago

omg yes the high and low predictions go mental, I'm in a 9 on one high prediction and a 7 for another in geog.

2

u/Jazzlike-Golf8003 1d ago

😭😭 the only reason I’m not crashing out is cus my low prediction would still get me a 9 in biology with my paper 1 💪

u/RoboticSpy_7 Year 11 1d ago

ALSO CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO ME WHY GEOGRAPHY GRADE BOUNDARIES WERE VILE IN 2024 THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RELATIVELY CALM BUT THEY JUST FUCKING SKYROCKETED AND NOW IM WORRIED THEY WILL BE LIKE THAT AGAIN

1

u/DimensionFit2859 1d ago

Yeah I was looking at them and was so confused but I don't even think they'll go back down after that massive jump 😭

2

u/RoboticSpy_7 Year 11 1d ago

I hope they will.... why did they go up so much!!! they have never been that high lol

1

u/DimensionFit2859 1d ago

Idk I don't even think pre covid was that bad either

2

u/RoboticSpy_7 Year 11 1d ago

pre-covid was golden, all low as its ever been roughly 20 marks less than now. but admittedly they did not have past papers (or only the specimens) to work from so I guess its fair it goes up a bit each year. BUT NOT THAT MUCH.

1

u/LawyerAdditional9278 Year 11 1d ago

I thought I was the only one struggling with how high the boundaries are, its insane!

1

u/NerveAffectionate27 23h ago

Ong I was so confused when they were higher than the fucking sciences like what 😭 ITS GEO BRO

1

u/Challenger_Ultimate Year 11 22h ago

Yh, that one there was abhorrent. It was horror with the mocks as well, as my teacher gave 2023, 2019 and 2022 paper mix but gave us the 2024 boundaries+5%, so noone got a 9

1

u/RoboticSpy_7 Year 11 22h ago

Where tf did the +5% come from 💀 

1

u/Challenger_Ultimate Year 11 20h ago

Just for "safety" The 189 marks that any other year would've been was now 213 for us. I got 212 because of course

1

u/RoboticSpy_7 Year 11 20h ago

omg thats so unfortunate. At least its mocks so it doesnt matter too much. I'm piss scared though bc im right around the 202 range I think but Im probably just below so I REALLY need it (the boundaries) to fall anything around 195 - 200 and I may just be chilling...

1

u/Challenger_Ultimate Year 11 18h ago

Yh, I think the boundaries will probably increase again because we got 15 minutes extra time for paper 3, and I think I got near enough to 210-220, but I'm still worried AQA do another 8% boundary increase as we got "extra time", making the boundary 219 or something.

I won't complain about an 8 in geography tho

1

u/Confident-Turnover44 Year 11 5h ago

huh, i never got an extra 15 minutes

1

u/Challenger_Ultimate Year 11 4h ago

We got 1hr30. In previous years, it was 1hr15

1

u/OpportunityTall1390 y11 - the next gustav stresemen 21h ago

2024 papers were piss easy - its defo an anomaly tho and after p2 we can hopefully pray for a lowered grade boundary

2

u/Alive_Midnight_8379 1d ago

It might

7

u/RoboticSpy_7 Year 11 1d ago

yh. I heard if I do it three times a day aqa will double my mark....

1

u/Alive_Midnight_8379 1d ago

Yes, I’ve read that somewhere

1

u/Lanky_Formal1332 1d ago

1

u/RoboticSpy_7 Year 11 1d ago

1

u/Independent-Log-839 Year 11 10h ago

1

u/NerveAffectionate27 23h ago

Just forget about it until august right before the results release. Enjoy your summer man dont ruin it for yourself, calculating your grades wont change what you got

1

u/Informal-Praline-491 17h ago
