What is relevant for 3/4 Chemistry from 1/2?

[_juwayriyah]

Hey guys, so I'm starting year 12 next year and the subjects I'm studying next year are biology, English, HHD, further maths and thinking about doing chemistry as well. The thing is, I haven't done units 1/2 for chemistry and really want to do good in units 3/4. I'm willing to put in the work and study the main topics from units 1/2 during the summer holidays. Has anyone done chemistry 3/4 without 1/2? For those that have studied the 4 units, do I need a lot from units 1/2? Thanks

Doing 3/4 without 1/2 is pretty rare with chemistry! The study design will be pretty helpful in terms of seeing what you need to know (http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/vce/chemistry/ChemistrySD-2016.pdf). For Unit 1, I recommend understanding the basics of Area of Study 1 and 2. In unit 2, a solid understand of Area of Study 1 and 2 will be very helpful, as these ideas are used the most in the 3/4. However, the study design has changed this year, so it would be best to verify this.

Be thorough in all mole calculations sometimes on the exam it even comes up as a year 11 standard question. Have a general idea of basic organic chemistry, maybe going through the year 12 content will suffice since it's pretty basic. Go through any sort of chemical reaction such as acid base and redox.

Things that may be asummed however may be revisited by teachers for the New study design given teachers teach everything in the study design in yr 11  :

1.Chemical Equations
2.Chemical calculations (mole stuff + specific heat capacity) + Different Units for concentration
3.Basic Organic chem
4.Bonding (ionic.covalent,hydrogen bonding)
5.HPLC,Mass spectrometry, calibration curves

I would probably learn the first 2 at the very least.
