And rote learn chemical pathways
It's the only way

Is year 12 chemistry and physics rote learning or more practise questions? I'm unsure because in previous years I got away with just learning theory with little to no question practise.

There's quite a few parts where you must rote learn. Like biochemical fuels etc

or even better, checkpoints!
they are in order of the topics so they are good for pre-sac (:
(i should have used them for psych this year ><)

I used Heinemann :) it was great for questions.

Definitely need to rote learn Organic chemical pathways and biofuels. Also should rote learn how to balance redox equations by KOHES method.

So that means chemical analysis just needs more question practice?

I'm pretty sure it's in the study design so you should.

chromatography is actually pretty easy. learn it and try and few questions, it shouldn't be that difficult, if you have any problems post up here:)

is spectroscopy which is a little more challenging, but after practice (which i have yet to do) it won't be too hard!

Finished the chem unit 3 today (YAY), and i'd have to say:

Biochemistry was alright thanks to bio this year; as is all the stoic stuff (Redox, acid/base etc.)
Chromatrography is alright, i just think of Gel electrophoresis as the molecules are seperated by size and dispersion forces.
Spectroscopy, i found most of the questions regarding the graphs etc. alright, but i struggled a little bit with the actual theory behind it, like WHY each method is used as opposed to the other and HOW each method works. i'll probs review this stuff again
Organic chem is alright as well, really just extension from yr 11, (which i sucked at) so ill probs review it as well before the holidays finish.
