Martin Tamm Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I did Chemistry HL but I think that paper 2 was quite difficult but Paper 1 made up for it Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
007imagine Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Paper 1 was a bit more difficult than I anticipated, based on past papers. Last year's Paper 1 was quite easy. Paper 2 was a catastrophe comparable to Waterloo. I don't even know what happened. I've always been weak with free-responses, but I almost cried halfway through the paper. Yeah, pathetic. Did anyone else do #7 for Section B? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No discussions of paper 3 yet guys, wait until tomorrow afternoon And I've noticed a lot of your posts seem to be something along the lines of "how many points can I get and still get a 4" or "is the exam hard?" Have some faith in yourself! Surely you couldn't have done that bad. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't address it because of the 24 hour ban. :silent:Otherwise...I'd love to talk about it. Sorry I'm abusing these emoticons. But they're amazing. I don't know. I hope the mark boundaries go down, but don't we always? I honestly feel Paper 1 & 2 were more difficult than last year's, though...so fingers crossed.

omri Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I thought Paper 1 was easy. Paper 2 was a challenge.. no equillibirum question in section B! And hydrogen peroxide in part A!Paper 3 went well. Yea, the penicilin part was strange. 3 marks? what? I wrote that they were able to isolate it and mass produce it.

007imagine Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Paper 3 was amazing. I might be able to salvage a decent score. Did anyone else do Environment/Food? I was flipping through the test...Drugs & Medicine seemed pretty straightforward. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
