Awsome! Just ordered them off Amazon and really wanting it to arrive as early as possible because after having start a bit of Unit 1 and stuff on Spectrum etc etc I have no idea what's going on :/ Realizing most of Unit 1 is Physics related.

Is there any actual material to Unit 2? It just seems like calculation after calculation...

None at all. It's calculations galore.

And what is it about the light spectrum stuff that you don't get?

Ahhhhhh Calculations and I'll let you know by tomorrow as I've been quite lazy past few days but definitely by tomorrow I'll bombard you with questions as I'll be spending most of my free periods re writting and organizing notes. :P

Yes.
(1)Keep on top of all the work or it'll pile up on you.
(2)Ask questions if you don't understand in order to get them sorted early.
(3)Think about investigation ideas early (nothing worse than stressing about it when you have a deadline)
(4)learn what you can of the equations (lots of them) and the PPAs :smile:

There's hardly any KU in Chemistry...

Really? I think theirs a lot. Many of the PS questions require an understanding of the material as well.

Work hard and you'll be fine. Out of the 3 AH's I did last year Chemistry was probably my easiest. What did you get in Higher?

I'm sorry but I don't think I could disagree with this any more strongly.
