Chemistry aftermath

What where your thoughts on the HL chemistry paper? It seemed easy enough to me with little I couldn't do, I even attempted an extra question.

I thought it was very tricky. Question six

That was about the only one i COULD do.

Did 10 questions finished by 4.30! The only one I didn't do was 11 because I'd left out electrochemistry and the option. haha.

I managed to fully answer 4 of them... which is good for me... experiments didn't go too well though and question 6 was :eek:
Normally organic is my best part but it seemed harder this year.

Thought Q4 and 5 were lovely for a change!

And a whole question on equilibrium - woohoo!!!

LOVED question 4 and question 7

question 5 - vomit on a page

went ok I think by my chemistry standards!

I SURVIVED THE LEAVING CERT 2010

It was ok-ish. I was able to do a good bit. Question 5 which is usually lovely was awful though, question 10 kinda compensated though. Overall fairly ok.

I thought it was good, but very awkwardly phrased. I found the hardest part was working out what the hell they were asking half the time!
Question 5 was horrible, nearly had a heart attack when electronegative wasn't on it, thankfully it came up later though!

the only exam i reckon i failed....feck it.

That was pretty odd. So so different to any other past papers. Like question 1 - where was the procedural question? And what was with all the historical stuff on Q5? I was counting on a nice electronegativity/first ionisation energy question but no. And the fuels and thermochemistry was horrible, I didn't know what auto-ignition actually WAS and couldn't really answer the bomb calorimeter question very well. It was grand like but I had learnt the course according to how things have been asked in the past, and how they have been asked every year since the start of the course. Completely different!

Question 1 was ****, I mean really
Question 3 was beautiful.
Question 4 was good for the most part.
Question 6 was tricky for a organic chemistry question. Usually it's my best question.
Question 7 was ok... made a stupid mistake or two.
Question 8 was a ****.
Question 9 was fairly good bar d i). e) was beautiful but f0 was a puzzler.
Question 10 a0 was ok and b0 was great.

Over all I think I got a d2 hopefully

I though question 5 was lovely!?:o Love the scientist dudes!
