A2 Chemistry People!

In all honesty Chemistry A-level is difficult. I have taken a wide range of A-levels (Forensic Science, English Literature, Geography, Welsh Baccalaureate and Chemistry) so as an individual who is not coming from a strong scientific background (and when beginning A2 I had completed GCSE Science and Additional Science 3 years prior) I guess it will be largely more difficult for me than for others. However, I do find that the logic and mechanisms behind organic chemistry a serious amount easier than inorganic chemistry. Originally I found the maths difficult but after a few attempts and some memorising of my maths GCSE 2 years prior to AS chemistry, it came to me pretty quickly. I find it a really enjoyable subject and I love the practical aspects of it. I will be going on to study Chemistry at university. Is anybody else?

No i am studying Medicine
and i kind of wanted to find out how much organic/ inorganic chemistry is there in medicine
obviously I'm assuming more organic in pharmacology module but yeah mole calculations and stuff i can see coming up ugh

I have friends who are studying Medicine and they say that there is a large amount of chemistry based maths, but there is not an overly large chemical content as such. They find there to an almost negligible amount of chemistry compared to biology. On the other hand, pharmacology modules feature a high organic chemistry content with some inorganic chemistry thrown in. Apparently, they find their pharmacology modules to be simpler (and more enjoyable) than the chemistry they had completed at A-level.

aah thats sick thanks
yeah what i find weird is how chemistry is the compulsory required subject for medicine admission
but Bio is like not that emphasised albeit entirely makes up the whole of the Medical degree? lol
i just can't wait to start i miss studying that stuff

Anybody struggling with A2 chemistry?

I recommend using goalby notes. These notes are amazeballs I have used them at AS combined with past papers and came out with a high A grade.

Goalby is decent, but imo chemguide is better for most topics simply because of the detail it goes into

The day after i received my crap AS results is when i started revising A2 whoever just asked
@thatcooldude2.0 ???

Ah ok thanks How are you finding it so far? Started past papers yet?
And yep it was me, accidentally deleted it (tsr isn't so great on my phone)

lmfao haha have i started mate i finished long back
i have already achieved my A2 grades you see

What was your motivation for medicine out of curiosity?

lmfao haha have i started mate i finished long back
i have already achieved my A2 grades you see

Oh yeah, haha lucky! What did you get?

A*AAb in Bio chemistry spanish and maths respectively

Congrats!! Woah A* in biol, any tips for that, I seem to be getting As/Bs in mocks but nowhere near A*s atm

memorise the mark scheme
practice practice practice
writing concise high yield answers with correct terminology is key
