what are some good resources for chemistry

[kwheattt]

Personally, I got a secondhand copy of the TSFX notes - i read these thoroughly as these provided greater insight to the course than any of the textbooks and as they were secondhand they had invaluable notes and "exception to the rules" listed.
To revise, i pretty much did the entire checkpoints and then as many practice exams (VCAA and external companies) as possible.
A+ notes do provide concise notes, however I also had a copy of jacaranda cue cards - these were far more effiecient and provided better explanations that were equally as concise. While some students I know didn't like checkpoints, I found it gave me exposure to a wide variety of questions and it's repititive nature while draining at times, was very worthwhile.
Hope that helps!

I find that if you have too many resources your head will explode with information overload

The yellow lisachem books are easily the best study guide for chem IMO. It set things out really clearly and most of its info taught underlying concepts that came up on VCAA exams. I really recommend that one, also A+ notes were a good summary too. Checkpoints I'm not usually a fan of but for chemistry they featured a lot of non-VCAA questions which was good, so I'd recommend them too. Everything else I wasn't a huge fan of.
