Hi! I'm currently doing H chemistry, so I haven't finished 100% of the course but I'd say that while some things are different, a lot of the course overlaps or just builds on topics from N5. I really wasn't the biggest fan of N5 chem but ended up taking it to higher and I find it much more interesting this year! There is a jump, but it's definitely manageable with the right amount of studying and practice (and in my opinion it isn't as big of a jump compared to some other subjects). If you're really unsure try speaking to your teacher and seeing if they think you can manage it/give any advice. Out of interest, what career are you wanting to do?
