I reckon

Master the formulas. Unit 4 is for people who can master formulas and have fun. La chattelier principle is easy the cells are challanging well for me.

Learn the first area of study. Rates of reaction is very intuitive, and equilibrium is very easy.

Books teach equilibrium in a shithouse way though, IMO. Learn the equilibrium constant expression, and the idea that the ratio of products to reactants is an indicator of where the system lies with respect to equilibrium (the reaction quotient).

I haven't touched chem in 6 weeks, and I don't plan to til after Methods finishes on Monday. (Argh, my time management really sucks.)

I've got equilibrium under control. Other than Electrolysis/Galvanic stuff, what other aspect of unit 4 chem would be crucial to learn in my remaining 2 days?

LOL, pretty much waiting for a 25 in chem. (SAC scores B/B+, mid year B, hopefully I can pull a C+/B on this one.)
