Please help! My exam board is AQA and I literally don't know any chemistry. I got a 5 in my mocks and I understand the processes but when it comes to equations and calculations im doomed. I don't even have a list off all the different calculations i need to be able to learn! Can anyone help??

I've recommened this to another person - Just do past papers even if you havent covered the content - you could pick up some when doing the past papers - you could look at FreeScienceLessons on youtube and do some SENECA to reinforce this. If you also do Sparx Science - do that - it helps as well! I wouln't learn the entire spec - just learn the main points that your teacher has SPECFICALLY mentioned!

Cognito’s videos do mirror closely to the AQA spec.
Freesciencelessons is entirely based on the AQA spec if I’m correct.

on anki if you go to shared decks and search GCSE AQA Chemistry (the creator also has decks for biology physics and aqa geography) detailed flashcards on each topic come up. (it's the one with 2/3 reviews depends when you see this). I hope this helps
