Are you studying it in A levels or GCSE? Either way, make flashcards, use quizlet to make sure you know the stuff. Active recall is an amazing technique. Chemistry exam papers tend to repeat themselves a lot so all I can say is practice.

Hi
I did a level biology rather than chem, but I still found the best way to revise was writing things i needed to know on my whiteboard, rub them out and write them again until I could rewrite it from memory correctly 3 times in a row. I also used the forest app to stop me using my phone while I did this. Hope this helps, good luck! :smile:
