A-Level Chemistry

How do I revise A-Level chemistry effectively, none of my methods have worked so far and I have my progression exams next month. I dont mean obvious things like flashcards and exam questions I know that I mean like a schedual of how to revise like how do I start like for example in biology I start with knowing all my flashcards then move onto doing a mind map from memory then I do short answer questions / Seneca then I eventually do exam questions on every subtopic - I dont actually know if It works but I think thats a good plan (please let me know if not and if I may be missing something) and I feel like I need a sort of schedual like that for chemistry because I feel like I got a D on my latest class test.

hey, i don’t know which exam board you are on but i used the chemrevise website HEAVILY (for aqa, but i think they do others too).
- first, i read through the chemrevise content on the section i was doing to make sure i understood it.
- then i made flash cards, i used anki since it means i don’t have to carry round flash cards which i will probably forget somewhere or stain etc..
- next i made sure i hit all the points on the board specification, plus this helped me know what i actually needed to know.
- gotta learn the flashcards (maybe learn on one day then check again 2 days later).
- then did past paper questions from PMT. also i made flash cards out of the dumb questions i found and didn’t score well on. (some topic question banks are HUGE so maybe only bulletpoint answers, but be honest with yourself when marking).
- finally, i looked through the flash cards if and when i needed to, very helpful for last minute revision.
this probably took me around 6-8 hours per topic (less for year one topics) and over a few days, but i thinks this is reasonable since it’s basically learning and revising a whole topic. i also liked to use a whiteboard when learning flashcards
sorry if this seems a lot, literally gave me flashbacks of my a level chemistry. i wasn’t that great at chemistry, never top or confident in class but this setup helped me a lot, managed to scrape an A* from regularly getting C/Bs. if nothing else, just look at chemrevise.

wow wow thank you so so much I do OCR B which makes it a bit hard to use them revise because most of the questions are OCR A which can cause me to revise things I dont need to know but I will start using it and by hitting all the points do you mean hitting the points on the flashcards? youre so smart for getting an A* btw I could literally never

nah just making sure you know what the spec is on about and that your knowledge of what they outline isn’t gappy.
also, my a level exams were the first and last time i ever got an A* in chem, luck plays into it too.
good luck with your studies!
