Pleasecould you provide past papers in the years 2010-2017 for all the examinations sat by Natural Sciences undergraduates in the following subjects

- Chemistry Part IA

- Chemistry A Part IB

- Chemistry B Part IB

- Chemistry Part II


Exam Papers Online is primarily based on papers which the Library receives directly from Schools and includes papers from first, second, third year and honours years and some advanced courses. Specifically requested exclusions are not included.


Please note: for many courses the provision of exams in Spring 2020 differs from previous years due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The relevance of previous exam papers will vary greatly between courses so please contact your course organiser or programme administration team to find out if consulting previous exam papers will be helpful to you as a revision study aid.


A request may be submitted to have a paper, or papers, removed from the web pages by emailing the address below, giving details of the academic year and course title of the paper(s) concerned and the reason for the request.


Please note that to be eligible to take an ASE, you cannot have attended or been registered for the subject or any of its variations (5.111, 5.112, or 3.091). An exception can be made if you never attended the class and submitted a drop form within the first week of the term.


Incoming first-year students who pass the ASE will receive a grade of P, and transfer students will receive regular (letter) grading. For first-year students, if you do not pass the ASE, no record will appear on your transcript, although a record will be kept of your attempt to take the exam. For transfer students, the grade you earn on the ASE will be posted to your transcript. You will not be allowed to take the 5.111 ASE again.


Please review the information about the 5.12 ASE.Upperclass and Second-Term First-Year StudentsThe 5.111 Advanced Standing Exam in chemistry is administered at the same time, and is the same exam, as the 5.111 ASE for incoming first-year students. ASE grades (A-F) will appear on your transcript. They are not included in the calculation of your GPA.


Please review the information about the 5.12 ASE.Q & A: Taking the 5.111 Advanced Standing ExamWhat is the Purpose of the 5.111 Exam?The purpose of the Advanced Standing Exam is to test whether your proficiency in chemistry is of a sufficiently high level for you to place out of, and receive credit for, the chemistry component of the MIT Science Requirement. Chemistry is one component of this core Science Requirement, fulfilled by the successful completion of 5.111, 5.112, or 3.091. This exam is not the equivalent of the Advanced Placement Exam administered by the Educational Testing Service or the IB exam. Rather, it is an exam which tests whether you have mastered the material covered in our introductory courses. This material is substantially more advanced than material covered in a typical two year high school course of advanced placement chemistry.What Kind of Exam is the 5.111 ASE?


Many of the problems on the exam have numerical answers. Most of the credit for solving a particular problem will be given for providing the correct answer together with a clear demonstration of how the answer was obtained. Correct logic that leads to an incorrect numerical answer will receive some credit, but usually no more than 30-50% of the point value of the problem. The exam will be accompanied by lists of required physical constants, equations, and a periodic table of the elements. You may not use notes or books during the exam. You will be allowed 3 hours of time to work the exam.What Type of Problems Will Be on the Exam?The content of the Advanced Standing Exam parallels the major topics of Chemistry 5.111 and 5.112, which are taught from lectures, workbooks, and class notes, as well as from a textbook.What Should I Bring to the Exam?Bring a scientific calculator (no graphing calculators) and a writing implement with you to the exam. Sophisticated calculators with extensive memory, cellular phones, and smartphones will not be allowed. Bring your MIT ID. Do not bring notes or books to the exam. Water will be provided in the exam room.How Do I Find Out My Exam Results?If you are a first-year student, your advisor will have the results of your exam when you meet with her or him. If you do not receive credit for 5.111 by passing this exam, your advisor may use your performance on the exam to recommend whether you enroll in 5.111 or 5.112, but the decision is ultimately yours. There is no minimum performance-level on this exam for entry into 5.112. Upperclass and transfer students will receive an email from the department with instructions for reviewing their exam.Exam Preparation:


5.111 and 5.112 content can be found at MITOpenCourseWare (OCW). Here you will be able to review topics, watch lecture videos and work practice problems. The typical format of problems that you will be asked to solve is exemplified on this 5.111 Final Exam and Answer Key. Note that this exam does NOT include all topics covered in the course or on the ASE exam.


First-years must take the placement exam to gain admission to either the first year or sophomore courses. Please refer to the placement advice found by class year on the Chemistry placement website. Transfer students should consult the website for the class with which they entered for placement information.


The prerequisites for sophomore-level organic chemistry lecture or laboratory classes are a year of the corresponding general-chemistry lecture or laboratory. Admission to these courses will only be permitted if such requirements or their equivalents have been satisfied.


Each member of every incoming class should have been pre-placed in a level of introductory chemistry that was deemed appropriate (based on provided academic metrics and past Chemistry experience) for them. This is where you are expected to begin your college-level studies of Chemistry. Students wishing to enter higher-level courses must take a placement exam to demonstrate competency in the prerequisites.


Be advised that a student completing organic chemistry will not be permitted to take any general chemistry courses at a later date since passing organic demonstrates competency in the prerequisites. This can cause problems with medical school applications, thus causing you to take more advanced courses (e.g., physical chemistry or inorganic chemistry) to complete health-profession requirements after taking organic chemistry. Students who take organic as first years receive an acceleration credit that satisfies most medical schools.


The Chemistry Placement examination is based on topics you have covered in your high school courses; there are no sample questions available. Students who have not taken chemistry in high school do not need to take the Chemistry Placement examination, as they will not enroll in CHEM 101.


You are allowed one (1) hour to complete your examination. You may use a calculator; however, it is important that you complete this test on your own, without help from a textbook or another person. The purpose of this test is to determine the most appropriate course for you, based on your academic background, so we can maximize your success in your first year at Drexel. An accurate assessment of your understanding of chemical concepts will help your adviser place you in the appropriate course.

(a) Should be more complicated. What about asking for the balanced half-reaction to show the change in the oxidation number of the Ag species? More imaginative, harder, and would be a better question.


Genuine question, why are you giving input then? It seems highly negative to those who worked hard to study for the exam. Not all AP students are on par with a pretentious middle aged AP chem teacher. Maybe lay off the internet for a little! ?


Personally, I read your review last year and this year and trust your opinions. I feel like the one redeeming thing about the FRQs this year was they tested some material that a lot of students glaze over in their review (chromatography, electroplating, etc.)?


The FRQs this year (and to various extents in recent years past), are an insult to anyone who values AP Chemistry as an intellectual exercise. Presumably that would include students who worked extremely hard on preparing themselves for the AP exam. As you say, there are multiple questions here that kids in much lower classes would find simple.


This was the worst AP exam I have seen in 50 years. Meaningless particle diagrams, high school level questions, a lack of both depth AND breadth, questions on types of alloys and chromatography instead of gas stoichiometry? Our best first year chem students could get a 3 without TAKING AP chem!


This section includes recent GCSE Chemistry past papers from AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, CCEA and the CIE IGCSE.This section also includes SQA National 5 chemistry past papers. If you are not sure which exam board you are studying ask your teacher. Past papers are a useful way to prepare for an exam. You can download each of the exam board's papers by clicking the links below.


This collection contains only those exam papers that University of Melbourne departments have given permission to be deposited in the University Library Digital Repository. Due to assessment changes over the past few years, no new exam papers have been uploaded to the collection since 2019. Therefore not all University of Melbourne exam papers are held in the Examination Paper Collection. Also examination solutions are not included.


When accessing exam papers students and staff will need to login using their University of Melbourne email login and password. Login via the link at the top right of all the Examination Paper Collection pages.
