A level Chemistry tips

Hi, I’m a year 12 right now and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for revising for a level chemistry (AQA)

Hi, one thing personally is learning the organic mechanisms. I put them on flashcards with conditions etc. If u go over it every now and then it'll be helpful for when there's more of them in y13. I also did flashcards for key inorganic reactions and tests as many questions in paper 1 are recall-based for these. U also probably heard this a lot but past papers are great for chemistry ( out of the 3 sciences I'd say past papers are most useful in chemistry) because the questions are somewhat repetitive year on year.
Hope this helps and good luck!
