Higher Chemistry 2015 - 2016

Original post by ScottWM98

I got an A for chemistry this year in reply to my earlier post! :biggrin:

First tip, buy the How to Pass CFE Higher Chemistry books, they are FANTASTIC especially for Maths and vital for chemistry too, i steered clear of scholar because i disliked the way it was laid out

Which part of the course did you find hardest? Do you think it's pretty difficult for me to get an A at higher if I'm a crash higher student? I've just started reaction rates and I found the rest of unit 1 straightforward. Any tips ??

Has anyone done a nab for unit 2? What things am I likely to expect I'm really panicking about it

If you are finding it straightforward so far that is a good indicator, I found unit 2 was the easiest as it was all organic chemistry (might have changed a bit for the CfE) and unit 3 wasn't too hard either. At this stage no one can tell you if you can get an A or not, its all up to how hard you work to familiarise yourself with the questions that come up and the coursework.

It was okay, a lot of pointless chemistry in it. You go back over esters and then look at fats and oils, proteins, anti-oxidants and then emulsifiers. Some stuff is just in there to fill up to the space like soaps and fragrances.

We are doing ours on anti-oxidants, straight after our unit 2 nab this week, we haven't started unit 1 yet.

We're doing the assignment on vitamin C/orange juice I think. We're doing a class test on Bonding/Periodicity tomorrow, then the unit 1 NAR a week on Wednesday. Any specifics to study for?

The class test was pretty difficult, but I think our school makes its own minor tests, so you may get an easier or more dificult test.
