I’ve been getting 80%+ on all past papers cuz I’ve actually wanted my brain to understand the chemistry behind each topic. Even tho I’ve gotten a C in the prelim, but this didn’t stop me from working harder to get an A.

What I’ve used to tackle chemistry math problem was;

watch yt vids just about a certain type of question like limiting and excess, titrations. (I recommend Ms Adam’s on yt)


Use jabCHEM to do past papers that are not on the SQA website.

Use higher chemistry hyperlinked to do past papers from each topic.

I ALSO RECOMMEND BLURTING. It’s when you write everything yk about a topic and then mark it with another pen and add details you’ve missed. This helps your brain to know what you have to know.

I know I’m late but it’s always being late than never coming.

GOOD LUCK CUZ!!
