Exam reality check

The rule on this site is strict: only questions that actually appeared in the university papers count as PYQs. The audit of the real CHEM7012 papers is done — 2020–2024, year by year, page by page — and 106 verified questions live in the chapter PYQ banks with their year and repeat count. Chapters 6 and 8 had no genuine PYQs in those papers, so they carry clearly labelled practice questions instead of look-alikes.
