The Chemistry theory paper is worth 70 marks and runs for 3 hours 15 minutes, with a separate 30-mark practical component. Set 347 ED opens with quick objective items and builds up to full-length answers that carry internal choice, so managing time across sections is key. Here is how the 26 questions and marks are spread.
Chemical kinetics, electrochemistry, coordination compounds and the organic reaction chapters carry the most marks in this set, so revise those first.
