How was Chemistry Paper 2 today? Ive heard that some of the questions were rather unusual? Any comments about the paper?

paper 2 was doable, but it shows that MOE is moving towards an application based syllabus and questions will be set based on real life scenarios as well. therefore all the a levelers next year should take note and prepare in this regard. Of course the questions will get harder but its also better in the sense that questions asked are more relevant to real life.


HCI J1s this year probably had quite a hard promos, though their seniors last year would have gotten off easier (different batch of teachers setting exams), but of course next year should be easier except for prelims and i would say this is good to prepare people for the harder A Levels.

Wow. That's insightful. Thanks, thefire1. I wonder what Chemistry Paper 3 will be like this Friday. :scratchhead:

Heard that the planning question was unexpectedly easy but the main bulk were difficult

I wonder what the Chem paper will be like tomorrow.

Hi Cantabile...I found you.
ds found it more manageable than paper 1 and so did most of his classmates.
Any comments from your ds?
