anyone else struggling with chem?

HELP!!!!

i did GNVQ science because my high school made everyone do it and in the course we didn't do basic chemistry, physics or biology. In fact we just wrote up experiments and did 2 exams on forensic science and one on anything else science related! I managed to get a distinction but im doing chemistry and biology at A2 and im finding it pretty hard! is anyone else in the same situation? Or does ayone have any advice with regards to uni courses as im limited with my grades! Do you think unis will understand?
Thanks, id appreciate any comments! :smile:

yeah i've got a chem tutor who i see for 2 hours a week, after schools sessions every week and basically any spare time nearly every night. i'm finding it easier this year but im also trying not to neglect biology and english. and iv got UCAS to worry about too!

I really hate chem now. It was my best subject at gcse but now its just tedious as more and more work is required to b put in in order to do well. I really want to drop it.

AS chem was easy, Chem in A2 was a tough nut to crack

just keep going over notes and do loads of practice papers. I found that the best way

The mechanisms are a little more difficult but i'm enjoying it alot more than biology. Biology this year is just getting more and more horrific each day.
