CHEM1 resources

If you are hoping for some more sample questions for module 1, unfortunately you have seen the only two papers in existance since the syllabus changed 12 months ago. However, there is a specimen paper that you can have a go at which you can download following the links below.

There are also a large number of older papers on the AQA website, but you will need to be careful when trying any papers on the old syllabus as some of the content has been moved to module 2 (chemistry of group 2 metals) and has been replaced by the organic content that you have studied instead.

CHEM4 resources

With CHEM4 just around the corner in January, you may need to download these mark schemes for the past papers you have been given in class in case you have missed any of the feedback. Remember to ignore any reference to Kp calculations (and partial pressures) in equilibria questions as they are no longer on your syllabus. Likewise, if you try any of the older papers you may see some titration curves involving two seperate equivalence points (for either sodium carbonate or ethanedioic acid). Again, ignore them, they are no longer on your syllabus.

Finally, these have been posted elsewhere on this blog and some of you may have had them from me directly, but the following are essential resources for revision of organic reactions and mechanisms.
