OCR B (Salters): How to use the book?

OP

Original post by Elhamm

you need to have an OCR B salters AS storyline that will guide you on what pages to read in the chemical ideas for that specific topic you are reading

Ah so that book is actually necessary? Is it any good? I thought my school was just blagging it lol
Thank you so much for the info!

I did AS OCR Salters last year and I am currently doing A2s. But to differentiate between AS and A2, there are unit maps and student action plans, which tell you the chapters of each unit of both AS and A2. I have attached a website and it should help. And good luck ! :smile:

Ah okay! People keep telling me Salters is the hardest a level chem course whilst others say it's an easier one. So out of experience, what would you say?

Hmm, I have not really experienced other exam boards but this exam board requires knowledge of a lot of content compared to other exam boards but not in as much detail. It was quite tough and demanding and I think we are the only exam board to have a prereleased material which wasnt too bad.

I also used the CGP Revision Guide and the Heinemann Revision Guide, the one from Salters :biggrin:

Ah I see, well that sounds promising. Also, what do you mean by the "pre released material"? Sorry, I'm new to all of this 😂

Ooh btw, I just looked at that module map you linked so when I'm studying should I just go in that order when using the chemical ideas book. For instance, the first map goes in order of 2.1, 2.2, then jumps straight to 6.1... Is that correct? So should I do that? Ahh why does it have to be so all over the place! *sigh*
