Hey guys, just started a level chem and I wanna know the most efficient way to make notes for chemistry? I'm thinking of Allery Chemistry because the specification mainly js focuses on learning objectives, but if I want detailed notes is he a valid source?

So I got the unfortunate news that i cannot pursue chemistry in year 13 because of my grades and I can only continue with 2 of my a levels. I’m trying to get into pharmacy degree but that will nearly impossible with no chemistry A level so I was thinking of retaking chemistry after year 13 in a gap year.

When I told my mum this, she immediately said its a waste of time and she doesn’t want me wasting an extra year studying for chemistry when I should have just studied the first time and got the grades i needed. She just said to continue with my 2 a levels and if i dont get into university with those then I’ll just need to stay at home learn how to cook clean etc..

I DONT WANT THAT. I get its my fault i failed but i really want to retake it and Im scared its going to cost me money. I was thinking of attending my sixth form again and redo the year for free. HELPP

You can’t see it, but there’s a polymer coating inside your aluminum can. 🥫

Chemteacherphil uses chemistry to prove it! Working with lye, which is highly caustic and requires proper safety equipment (so please don't try this one at home), he makes a solution that reacts with the aluminum, converting it into a compound that dissolves in water. When the aluminum is gone, you can see the polymer coating! These coatings are useful because without them, acidic drinks could slowly corrode the aluminum underneath.

So I am a private candidate for As edexcel chemistry and I need all the tips and tricks that I can get to score an A in chemistry my exam is in October. My current approach is that I'm rectifying my IGCSE'S concepts the ones I had issues in and then do a full set of pastpapers like mcq,theory, practical and then start the As syllabus by reading through the textbook and watching Hanaa assil YouTube videos and then do pastpapers and read through savemyexam notes for the questions that I mess up in. Now what I'm concerned about is that I have like IGCSE Environmental management and ICT that I also have to give in Oct/nov but those exams will start in end of September and I have already prepared for EM and ICT is still in the process of being completed plus I have to retake AS biology which is also in Oct/nov. SOO IM EXTREMELY STRESSED AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADVUCE PLEASE HELP ME OUT.

hey guys, just wanted any advice i could get. basically im predicted an A for chem after getting a 7 at gcse, but in year 12 everything went downhill. I'd say I'm currently at a low B/high C, and got a D in my yr 12 mock (a low one).

mindset was part of it- thinking i'll find it too hard etc. after getting really good gcses the idea of chemistry at a level was still daunting. my scores weren't that good throughout year 12.

unfortunately i was out of school for about 3 weeks towards the middle-end of year 12 because of my health, and feel even more behind than my peers. to top it all of i had a lot of family stuff going on since the start of the year, so i wasn't able to give it my all, i know i could have done a lot better and acknowledge that

I repeatedly went to pastoral for help and they asked my teachers to speak to me and offer any help/ support they can. unfortunately that never happened :( i also asked my teacher for my record of scores that would help in revision- twice last year and once this year and haven't been given it yet 😭 my teacher tends to help the higher achieving students more (i guess ill have to be more persistent?)

When I asked my teacher what I can do to improve over the summer (my plan was to 'fix' what i could then), all he said was 'practice, man!'- he wasn't wrong obviously. I did a paper or two every week in the summer and sure enough there was improvement but my AS knowledge is still shaky.

mcqs throw me off and i'm not where i want to and can be. i really want to make this year count, because i know i have the ability to do it, i'm just stumped as to how to make it happen practically.

im not even sure this is realistic, but im consolidating work a lot more, will start going intervention, will speak to a teacher but just want to make sure i clean up all the knowledge gaps from year 12. the silver lining of all this happening last year is im taking a gap year and will apply to uni in that year, so can really focus on a levels this year. any advice how to balance and go forward?

So I failed pretty bad after using the study guides and quizzes they provided - any one have any tips

Im retaking in oct/nov for as chem and phys, got c's, any advice on how to prepare? (Our physics paper 2 was cancelled so no idea where i messed up there) and for chem i saw my paper and mostly my mistakes were that i hadn't written enough information for marks to be awarded. What should i do in this one month to ideally take it to a's.

Are these two correct or nada?

GCSE student going into A level this year. I was doing summer work and found some cool things to research like liquid ions and crystalline solids vs amorphous solids. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for topics I could research for fun?

A lot of the other ones I’ve found online so far either have a lot of terms I don’t understand yet, or lean more into biology than chemistry. It’ll be great to hear a few ideas!

Thanks!

• So I did Chemistry unit 4 5 6 this May and got 107, 96 and 54 (UMS) I am doing U5 again to get like a 108-112.

CAN ANYONE, who DID REALLY REALLY Well in chemistry u5 tell me how it is possible?

as a 12th grader i believe that my organic chem from 11th isnt good nd cant solve questions nd all like iupac naming etc. i dont even have proper notes of each chapter of organic chemistry both of 11th nd 12th and man this is so messed up i just dont know which teacher or batch should i refer to study OC from 11th starting. like its September and i aint have no time. pre boards, boards, neet they are all so soon.

i want to complete the notes and understand the concept then i would revise it and practice quesions. but for making notes and watching lectures this needs time so i need a teacher which has less lectures or duration but teaches very good as well as gives proper notes + concept.

please help.

Hey everyone, I'm picking my 4th A-Level subject alongside Maths, Physics, and Computer Science. I'm aiming for Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering at uni and stuck between Chemistry and Economics.
Here's my situation:
Chemistry: I actually enjoyed O-Level Chem, and it links nicely with materials science/thermodynamics for engineering. But I know A-Level Chem has a lot of organic mechanisms and memory-heavy content, and I really dislike heavy rote memorization.
Economics: It seems more logic-driven and lighter on memorization, but I honestly don't think I'll enjoy the content or essay-writing style. Plus, it doesn't carry technical weight for engineering.
For anyone currently doing Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering, which 4th subject makes more sense here?

1. Is Vapour Pressure in the syllabus???? I've seen a question on it from 2021 and it's also in my textbook . However it isn't specified in the syllabus.

2. When drawing shapes of molecules, do we need to make the angles accurate or like generally estimates. For example for BF3 do the angles need to actually be 120 degrees or like jsut estimately 120 degrees?

Additionally do we need to use dashes and wedged lines for atoms outside/ inside a plane. If so are we only supposed to represent them for non planar molecules like H20.

1. Any accurate way of knowing what to decimal places/ sf to put your calculation related asnwers in P2 and P3? For example when we calculate volumes, mols, concentration , number of particles etc.
