It's not ideal but if it's any consolation I received a U in Physics (as well as an E in Chemistry), I went from nailing Sciences at GCSE and during the transition to A-Level my brain flipped to humanities and I flopped hard.

Saying all that, still got into a good university to study International Politics and have an ace job, so not all bad. do sympathize though as that U was a massive kick-in the balls!
You mean a class test? You should be worried only to the extent that it should be a wakeup call that you can't just wing chemistry. But don't stress about it too much if it doesn't contribute to your final grade. Resolve to do better and move on.

Well I have changed my revision technique to viewing the mark scheme to what the teacher has taught and testing my knowledge based upon that
Good. It's a step in the right direction. :smile:
