Hi guys!
I'm studying Edexcel GCSE Chemistry and I'm in Year 11. Chemistry is probably my worst science, the only part of the course I'm pretty confident with is moles and calculations, and even with them I get confused. Right now we are studying organic chemistry and fossil fuels and stuff like that and it is making my brain hurt so muchhhh. I don't want to take A level chemistry as I'm planning on going down the English and humanities route but still want to achieve good grades at GCSE.

Don't give up! You'll get the hang of it soon.
When it comes to calculations, practice makes perfect. Try to focus on understanding the reasoning behind doing each step, rather than just memorising the sequence.
Many students find organic chemistry challenging - do you have a sense of what specifically you're finding difficult?
