I love chemistry alevel, but seriously when do you ever get a break?!
is it just me or does everyone else think its alot of work?

Hmm, the only bit i like about it is organic chemistry..apart from that its pretty boring so far :erm:

seriously? i hate the organic bit, i think the calculations are the easiest-moles, conc,volume and that crap
what ISA you doing?

'tis true. Outside of the class i have done hardly anything. The odd homework here or there and sometimes not even that...

The Rate Equation stuff and Equilibria I followed easily and in the practice tests(at school) got 80%, Acids and Bases, got 75% but organic, with all the memory work on reagants, mechanisms and catalyst has just completely lost me.
Revising chemistry right this minute (well just finish as i'm on tsr) but yeah it's a lot of work :s-smilie:
i dislike the organic stuff like and nmr spec

Well now is about time to start, you don't want to regret it later on.
Chem requires a lot of work. At least it does compared to my other subjects Chem is the only one I feel the need to go over and over again.

But enough about me.. :tongue:
Chemistry :love:

No wait, let me rephrase that:

Chemistry :sexface:

Yeah, i have an interview on monday, so after that, maths will get a break, then i will pay some attention to chemistry and physics. Oh yeah i have to go through S2 in maths too, so i will throw that in(and a few papers for M3 and S1). Once i do this, it should be christmas time. So plenty of time to do past papers, go over weak areas, etc.

Good luck with your interview :smile: Tbh, there are always neglected subjects but don't let chem and physics get too far behind. Now I miss Maths :frown:.
Chemistry is pretty straightforward if you just do your work. :smile:

Cheers :smile:

btw, Physics isnt too bad since half of it overlaps with Mechanics in maths so that's a whole chunk i dont need to go over again!

Yeah maths is awesome. Replace all lessons with maths and i will be a lot more interested lol

Yep, I assumed. The people who do further maths in my school suggested that there was some overlap or just perhaps more practice with "maths" in general really.

Lol, I wouldn't go quite that far. But yeah no wonder you're applying for Maths then, you must find interviews a breeze considering you're such an enthusiast. :smile:

It's a bit of a strange one, i really want to go and see what they ask me and show them what i've got, but at the same time im getting very very nervous
