Hey guys,
How's revision coming along with Chem Unit 2?

[d_94]

Im sooo scared for it. Wbuu?

[mloveday94]

Extraction of metals etc and half equations get me. Every time.

BAD BAD BAD.
VERY BAD.
i know the stuff but jst cnt seem to b able to use my knowledge to the questions they ask

I'll be revising loads over the next few days. Unit 2 has so much more content!!

[Ataraxian-Walker]

I have some notes Hopefully they could be of some help.

Oh yes, I have a couple of documents that may also come in handy.

This one's from Edexcel, thought it might help with some of the practical type questions:

And here's a summary of all organic reactions:

In my attempt to get all reactions onto a single A4 page, I made it a little confusing. Anyway, use it if you can decipher it!

Guys I'm doing Alevel now but resitting chem 2 because my sister wanted me to and believe me, chem 2 is like a walk in the park compared with Chem 4

I really want to do well in unit 2, and I want it to be slightly less stressful in A2 so want to get a good high A in this exam...
Good luck second time round!

Well chem 2 is worth the most out of all the modules so that's a good plan
I don't even need to resist, my twin did so she made me so we could "revise together" hahaha luckily my other exams aren't until mid-late June so not too much of a stress

Good luck with the exam

my chemistry teacher told us that this unit 2 is more just learning it off, than actually understanding it. i know there's a certain amount that has to be understood to get top marks, but do you agree that it's mostly just learning what the books say? i'm not so sure?

Read the HSWs. My teacher says they could ask questions from that part.

Oh I thought Unit 1 2 4 and 5 were worth equal amounts for the overall grade

Ahh Snap! I have a twin too But he doesn't do the same board as me (We go to different schools)

Yeah about 23% of the exam is how science works

That's what I thought but then I found out chem 2 is 47% of the AS level, chem 1 is 33 %

Aww you go to different schools what's that like?

[avipsita]

Its a granuntee that there will be like a 7 markker question form the Green Chemistry section .. our teacher told us to learn that off by heart

Ahh I'm more prepared than I was for unit 1 so hoping to do better on this paper anyway so I guess it's better that unit 2 is worth more

You get used to it lol I can't imagine what it would be like if he came to my school

Okay thanks, most of the green chemistry is linked in with section C though right so majority of the answers are in the question?

Btw what textbooks do you all use?

both unit 1 and unit 2 are 40%. And Unit 3 is 20%. This is what I learned.

This is off the aqa website, if you go on page 2 it tells you how much each module is worth and what they're out of
