AS - Falling behind in chemistry?

Maybe do more for this subject than your others.

Bar Physics AS I would say that Chem is the 2nd hardest AS, with this being reversed at A2.

Make sure you max out on all the units.

Make notes on everything, do legacy papers, chemguide.

Maybe even do more Chemistry - iGCSE chem if you didn't get A Star, Olympiad, SAT 2 Chem.

Watch Khan Academy videos, maybe get a tutor too.

Aim to get all the content complete by the end of february on your own.

There is your A, now study and get it.

If you are doing OCR A maybe I can help more.

Thanks for the feedback. I am doing OCR A so am welcome to further help and have done the IGCSE with A*. Also, is the teacher going at the right speed or way too slow?

Thanks, James.

If you're hoping to get an A* on the course, you really should be getting full marks on the assessed practicals and to do that, you have to be 100% on your calculations.

I have a chemistry teacher who is meant to be bad at teaching. We are now going into half term with just about the moles and equations and acids & bases content covered. I think that the teacher has spent far too long going over this content but others have said it is right since it is important to understand.

Anyway, I looked at the specification, out of the about 25 pages, we have completed 3. I seriously have doubts we will finish the spec.

What do i do? My dad offered to get a tutor or I could attempt to self teach. I don't really want to complain since a good relationship with the teacher is important.

Thanks, James.

In defence of your teacher: has s/he taught the course before? Does s/he know how fast you need to go to get through the material?

Conversely: have you been on the course before? Do you know how fast you need to go to get through the material?

Also, three pages in one half term. You're doing fine. There are six half terms in Y12 and about four in Y13. At three pages per half term, you'll get through 30 pages over the two years. Oh, there are only 25 to get through. What are you complaining about?
