It's ******** man, you can't blag it like you do with Maths, Physics, Further maths etc - it'll be a solid slog of memorisation at the end of the day, which I think is pretty poor for an A Level. Obviously you have to understand the content too, but in other subjects understanding and applying will get you top grades - in A2 chem the swots who revise all day and have no life achieve, because it's a memory test
