How to get the A* in Chemistry I want?

I really do love chemistry and feel I do have a passion for it but the teacher I have at the moment is too busy shouting to actually teach us anything and we're really behind in our work compared to the rest of my year 10 year group.
Any tips on how to study,good websites or general tips on how to get the grade I want would be much appreciated.
Thanks :smile: xxx

At the level you're studying at, I think the biggest advantage you can have is the enthusiasm you've shown in this post. Being willing to read around the subject and learn outside the classroom is really key, in my experience.

I'm not sure of any websites for GCSE level, though I know an excellent A level guide. I'd recommend picking up one of the shiny revision guides many schools sell - they cover most of the course material in sufficient depth. I used them to teach myself most of my GCSE science.

Self study. my chem teacher is dreaders, read the books yourself and self teach.
Does anybody here use the specification (for GCSE)? Do you turn it into notes or something?
hehe that's all my chemistry teacher do
shout at the misbehaving ones
hmm i can't remember much of yr 10 work tbh and i'm sure its changed
but i think learning from revision guides really help
talk to your teacher about work after lessons [ignore sniggering]

also, for revision- that's up to you and how you learn things i.e. are you visual- make a flow chart etc but i just like making notes
