Yes, another subject down. Chemistry Higher Level.
Paper 1 and 2 on Monday, paper 3 today.

The verdict:

~Paper 1: Most questions were really easy, 1 or 2 harder ones
~Paper 2: Section A (compulsory) was a gift from heaven, it had mass spectroscopy, kinetics, silly periodicity stuff and optical isomers and dehydration (organic). Section B: I did question 6 and 8. 6 was equilibrium and acids & bases, was good. Question 8: Organic! ACE! I studied organic really well so that was great.
~Paper 3: Note to self; reading through not more than a third of the options material the night before is not sufficient. Meh, I still answered most questions and think I will do ok.

Best thing to do after finishing a year 12 subject is getting all your books for that subject and just putting them away. (I would perform some serious combustion, but I or my sister might need them later). So this is what I did today after Chem. I gathered all learning material from the past two year and this is what I had accumulated:


8.5 kilograms worth!


The stack was 25 cms high

That's right, a fair amount... all gone, bye bye! Thanks to Dr. Head for teaching us the wonderful world of chemistry and good luck to everyone else still doing exams. Not long to go.

Just 5 papers/ 7.5 hours of exams remaining...
