i need an AS chemistry revision site!

Hello everyone!!
can anyone give me a link to a site that comprehensively covers the AS syllabus in an intresting way?!?
sounds like im asking for something impossible...iv tried google... results were not so impressive...

i dunno why there are so many biology sites but not so many chemistry sites...

this one for example is reeaaly good for biology.... havnt found anything near this for chemistry

(+rep for the best site)

These phillip alan guides cover everything for AS and a2 edexcel chem..they are what i used and i JUST missed an A (due to my lack of knowledge in unit 5!). Using these alone is enough but i wouldnt advise using them when your learning first time round. Use a variety of sources in conjunction with these and you will have your A

Hmm true, it isn't the best but I like the way they explain some of the stuff. The BEST BEST way to revise is looking over the chemistry specification and writing notes for each point using a text book. All the gibberish in the text book isn't really needed anyway. Highlight all your writing using different coloured highlighters to make it stand out. Believe me, you would understand it better when you read over it again and again. It somehow got me the A but I struggled throughout the AS anyway. Hope that was helpful! :p:

I don't know whether this is very helpful for AS, but I used it occasionally at GCSE:

It covers some of the basics well anyway!

Boring?

I think it's really interesting! I mean you can even read some of the stuff there just for the sake of reading it and yet you get the whole picture as to what's going on. Great site that.
