Jun 2024Difficulty 3.0/5

The AQA AS Chemistry 7404 June 2024 series presented a balanced assessment of physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry. While Paper 1 focused heavily on physical and inorganic concepts (particularly structure, bonding, and quantitative calculations), Paper 2 tested core organic mechanisms, analysis, and equilibria. The integration of practical skills and experimental inaccuracies, notably in enthalpy and kinetics questions, tested students' conceptual depth.

Jun 2023Difficulty 3.5/5

An intellectually demanding series where mathematical precision in stoichiometry and absolute accuracy in organic reaction mechanisms and curly arrows separated the top-tier candidates.

Jun 2022Difficulty 3.5/5

The AQA AS Chemistry 7404 June 2022 series represents a balanced assessment across Inorganic, Physical, and Organic disciplines. It is characterised by highly rigorous practical application tasks, heavy stoichiometry demands, and typical conceptual hurdles in kinetics and mechanism formatting.
