Good evening everyone.
I go to a public school and I'm moving to a private school in year 11 for vce (friend reasons).
I chose chemistry and physics in year 11 and I've been looking over Melbourne high schools year 10 science exam.
They go into a lot of detail about circuit and motion calculations in physics, a little bit of stoich calculations in chem, monomers, and polymers. I didn't even learn this stuff in my chem and physics sections of science, only newtons laws, whats a vector and scalar, si units, balancing chemical equations, hydrocarbons, and ions. It makes me worried
if I go to a new school that I'll be behind in class due to the fact that I haven't been taught this.

Don't worry too much, MHS is just one of the few schools that actually "properly" teach the yr10 curriculum. All that stuff you'll go over again in units 1+2, so I wouldn't worry too much at all :)

That stuff is covered in the Year 11 courses. It's not really a concern if you don't know it already, you can learn it when it comes.
If you do run into things you don't understand, the situation is no different to any other concept you might learn. If the teacher doesn't explain it properly or you don't quite understand something, you can always just ask/annoy the teacher to explain it (that's what they're there for).
