Ohh.. Yaaas hopefully you will ace it! Btw what topics did u mean were very hard in the pastpapers? Like transition metals or the organic?

Haha yes hopefully, we both will!:smile: I found the organic portion harder I just couldn't figure out the reaction mechanisms but it could be because I haven't done that chapter very well:confused:

Also for Unit 4 did you just use the Ann Fullick book? I'm so confused on which book is better and which one to focus more on as I am running out of time.:/

Do u mean unit4 bio or chem? If for bio I didn't rely on that book and got myself the cgp revision guide cos it just goes on and on about irrelevant stuff . I think the Ann fullick book is pretty good for unit 5 tho

Ohhh I see.. Did u look online for some flowcharts which summarize all organic chem ? I think that would be helpful seeing all the reactions in front of u.

Oh but my classmates and I found a couple of factual mistakes in the Ann Fullick one, e.g Actin and Myosin were written the other way round I know its not a big deal but who knows what else might be wrong in it so I just don't use it anymore

Yeah I am searching for those!:smile: Just get a headache after reviewing all the reactions:s-smilie:
Also, how do you solve pastpapers for Chemistry? Do you do them after you know all the content or when you are still learning the content? I feel like if I'll forever be learning from the book I'd be wasting a lot of time learning information I don't really need to know so I'm trying to jot down imp points from the mark scheme at this point
