past papers! go crazy! also practice doing the equations, they are frustrating and difficult but they are easy marks if u can do them! apart from that there are chemcord notes and practice Qs and the such like, but i really didnt like the format of them.

keep revising the notes and do pastpapers. when u get Q wrong revise the whole topic and make a note of it. Alot of the multiple choice Qs are repeated from old pastpapers. last year i recognised 3 mcqs which were word-for-word from old papers, the numbers and everything.

I found the book 'how to pass Higher Chemistry' was really helpful last year... (although it's primarily aimed at people who know basically no chemistry. Like me.)

I have
"Revision Notes & Questions - New Higher Chemistry", the chemcord notes book and my past papers?

Is it worth my while going into school to "borrow" their chemcord question & answer books?

Eeeeeek I hate chemistry! I'm going to tackle past papers, and write out my notes a little neater I think and then just hope for the best. Chemistry is definitely not one of my strong points! Good luck studying!

I hate chemistry - so glad it's my last exam and not for a week! Though I feel like I've already done every past paper under the sun...

I have the chemcord q and a book. there are MILLIONS of questions, good practice for the real exam but I don't find them very useful

I have lots of resources I'm just too lazy, and I hope this won't be disaster like Biology.

I need a B! I'm going to stay up as late as it takes tonight to read the whole of Scholar, and do all the quizzes, and tests on there. :smile:

I'd recommend not staying up too late, it's an early start tomorrow so you'll need a good night's sleep. Although that's just my thoughts - do whatever works for you :smile:

(And good luck tomorrow).

Yeah I've only done past papers, no note-reading at all, but that seemed to work OK for bio. Doing scholar now (with MSN on...)

Slightly worried as I need an A in this.

I can do calculations, and most of unit 2 and all the spraffy crap for unit 1. I just forget stupid bits of unit 3 cos our teacher skimmed it all.

Seriously, don't do any revision now! Give your brain a rest, get some sleep, and do your best tomorrow. I made the same mistake yesterday: I was 100% confident about Geography, but decided to do some top-up revision. Low and behold, i see things i don't fully comprehend and panic! I stayed up until 2 a.m going over the whole course, just to make sure. I felt so tired in the exam today; luckily i found it rather easy and think i did well! None of the topics i revised came up, meaning i wasted a whole night....*falls asleep*
