[URGENT - GCSE Chemistry] Do I have to memorise the reactivity series?

Is it given to us in the exam? If not, do I have to memorise it? Please help...
I was just about to ask this question, Ik the rules of both types of electrolysis but idk the reactivity series off by heart...

Yes! The reactivity series will not be given to us in the exam, we are expected to learn the reactivity series and experiments that go with when an element is more/less reactive than carbon.

Same here.... hoping mnemonics can save me :afraid:
All we get is the Periodic Table so make sure to memorise the ions too if you need to!
