Re: Anyone else finding chemistry condsiderbly hard?The theory- Love it and certainly not that hard, most interesting at AS (compared against physics and bio.. although I do the renowned worst physics A level lol- OCR B ).
Only thing I dont like about it- its the only science at our school where we do marked practical assessments... and even though they're simple I just seem to cock up no matter what! i.e. not recognising that when water was added to magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide was formed! I stupidly considered it as a way to dilute the indicator lmao. -

A2 OCR A, yes. I'm dreading to have a paper resembling the June 2011 paper

Re: Anyone else finding chemistry condsiderbly hard?I found chemistry harder at AS than A2! I find now, whilst studying for F325 that it's like a massive jigsaw and all the pieces are finally fitting together, and finally chemistry makes sense.
But maybe this is just me!

Re: Anyone else finding chemistry condsiderbly hard?Yeah, it's all about learning the textbook inside out IMO.(Original post by LifeIsGood)

Re: Anyone else finding chemistry condsiderbly hard?Make notes on the content and read it over and over again. You definitely have to understand it otherwise you won't be able to memorise it.(Original post by LifeIsGood)
