    You might think unit 5 has only 6 chapters but there are lots of stuff to learn, lets start revising as early as we could, feel free to ask questions and i'll post recent past papers once i have them

    This site is too good for past papers --> http://www.a-levelchemistry.co.uk/

    CHEMISTRY TUITION Available from £9.

    Dude!

    It's barely been 4 days since the Unit 4 exam!

    We haven't even started Unit 5 yet!

    Our teacher couldn't be bothered to start teaching Unit 5 on last Friday, so we just watched Tennis for an hour and a bit!

    Do you think its possible for me to start learning CHEM5 now and still get an A?
    Of course, there is time to get even A*, as long as you put your head down and start cracking, if you find a difficult topic feel free to post questions or ask me personally.

    Yeah I am an AS student, trying to compelete both A-level Biology and Chemistry in one year as a private candidate, I still have not begun any work for Chem 4 or Chem 5 yet as i've been busy with the practicals D I have entered myself for both of them in June, its going to be a tough slog for the next few weeks, I need A*'s to get in to medical school so thats inspiration for anyone who believes there is not enough time and your not alone DD

    How many of you guys are resitting CHEM4?

    PS I did CHEM5 in January and it was a rush to finish the questions, so be preped for rushing the exam papers! Even people with extra time were still pushing their luck :worried:.

    I am see you'll all be fine, there's a AQA CHEM4 thread btw, if you need any questions answered I can try my best to help. Just PM me or hit me up on the CHEM4 thread. I am like a ninja on there

    :ninja: Happy learning

    Ah, CHEM5...

    I love the way it lulls you into a false sense of security with the few chapters.

    Starting to remember the colours and formula of the TM complex ions though.

    We've got Period 3 to go yet but that's our final chapter... everything else is just solid revision until the exam.
