AQA AS Chemistry CHEM2

Has anyone started revising for this module?
We've almost finished all of the syllabus, we just have a few more lessons to go before it's completely done and dusted. I think it's so much harder then CHEM1 though, I'm finding it really difficult!
Do any of you have any good ways of revising or any good chemistry websites?

Thanks.

Yes - with one teacher all her topics are done-just a couple more lessons with the others after Easter holidays and then done. Although not quite because they never go into enough detail.
I have like 50 past papers though given me today. Not looking forward to them. Not going to start them anytime soon either :tongue:

I have websites given to me also today-will post them later if I saved them properly!!

Theyre fine..

Rote-Learn the mechanisms and equations.

I struggle with redox reactions

Yeah, I think the mechanisms can be learnt. It's enegetics, redox and the halogens that are the hardest topics in my opinion.

this unit is a fail.
we;ve got a crap teacher for it.
I'm confident on kinetics, energetics and equilibria. That's about it.

Yeah-there's just too much organic and I'm failing at all mechanisms. :sad:

Revising generally, not particularly for the exams yet!

I'll start revising Chemistry towards the end. I'm more worried about Biology, even though I'm kind of worried about them all.

Pretty damn awesome.

And you should constantly, every day or so, practice mechinisms and reactions on a bit of paper until you know them off by heart.

Yeah, same. The Chemistry exam isn't until the 11th June or something, so will focus on it later.

I hate REDOX reactions and enthalpy! These websites are quite good:

Doc Brown is the best!

I havn't been revising as such, just been reading the textbook half and hour before I go to sleep. I need to hit exam questions - Im also finding the energetic chapter a nightmare!
