Hi @xx.s4ha,

Past paper questions always worked for me, especially for organic chemistry (alkanes/alkenes/aldehydes) topics. I would usually read over my notes for thirty to forty minutes and then attempt any organic chemistry past paper questions I could find; if I didn't know the answer to a question, I knew I needed to go back over my notes to consolidate my understanding.

Look through the specification and highlight any topics that don't feel familiar to you - for example, my sixth form skimmed over lattice enthalpy, so I didn't immediately recognise it when I saw it on my spec and had to go back and find the relevant notes.

Hope this helps and best of luck with A-Level Chemistry! 🙂

Hi! A level chemistry can be difficult!
I would advice practicing active recall using flashcards for example, practice exam questions, topic by topic questions.
