A-level Chemistry Help

I am in year 12 and am studying Maths and chemistry A-levels, and WJEC Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology. I have been struggling with Chemistry revision as I don't seem to remember anything, and no matter what I revise it just doesn't sink in. I also have ADHD,and have been struggling with my Mental Health for years, although it has been worse recently.

Does anyone have any advice as I'm aiming for a B but currently getting D's

Hey! I recommend trying different revision techniques. Different things may work for different subjects.

For example, for Chemistry, I revise with flashcards, making posters and practice questions. However, if you’re more creative it might be more memorable for you to make something and create artistic chem posters for your wall. If you’re more musical, maybe try make up a song (sounds cringe but works).

No problem! Hope it works for you! Trick is to just keep going at exam questions and you will eventually get used to the mark schemes and how to do stuff.

If you ever need any help let me know !
I think that this is a job four you again, @5hyl33n. Share your thoughts with Chemistry A levels, if you can.

Have a look at this page kindly created by @TypicalNerd:

Personally my top three revisions resources are:
- The specification
- Textbooks/revision guides
- Past papers/mark schemes

How are you currently revising?
