I've been falling asleep in chem classes too :P - Unit 4 is absolutely boring to me plus I never get enough sleep at night :roll:

To add to principe's list:
- Faraday's laws - they're easy to learn and they've come up a lot in my practice exams
- I'd learn the lead-acid battery - it seems to come up a fair bit - but if you're absolutely confident with writing half equations from a full equation then don't bother
EDIT: - I'd learn the oxide equations too seeing as they are in the study design - reactions with NaO, Al2O3 and SO3 I think.



Ahmad, you'll probably ace the exam with minimal study anyway :)

I don't recall them ever requiring you to remember the equations for the lead-acid battery. They will bring it up in the MC, and show you equations. That's easy.

cisco will count towards your enter, as it takes 10 percent of the average of your top 4 study scores.

Yeah, I found that out recently :)
So does that mean that it will count instead of Chemistry? If so, I have no clue why I'm worrying...
 :D

I'm so screwed too. I just started doing chemistry practice questions today. It's so boring I feel like committing suicide :(

Practice questions? For Chemistry?  :lol:
Heh, I haven't done any. At all. Ever.  :shock:


Thanks for all the help guys :D
I'm gonna start studying for Chemistry sometime soon :P

Anyone else have a feeling the mass spectrometer will pop up in the extended response.

Probably just me.

If anyone has any electronic practise exams at all, or knows where I can get some, please PM me a.s.a.p.

Thanks.

Best you can do is VCAA.

It's a bit late to be doing trial exams that aren't from the VCAA. Especially if you get shit question that throws you - the hurt to your intelligence is more than I can ever bear.
ENTER: Incomprehensibly high

I agree. The day before the actual exam should be dedicated to reviewing all the mistakes you've made on the practice exams you've done and finalizing the things that you've learned over the course of your study.

It's too late now to do anything for it. Just watch some TV or go out for a drink with friends. No more chemistry until your eyes are feasting upon the VCAA chem paper and getting prepared to kill it!

I don't think it works that way for all people. Right now, like many others, I'm going to do the bulk of my study. Have fun guys!!!  :wink:

ahah me too. the "if you dont know it now, you'll never know it" so does not apply to me haha. its more like "if you dont know it now, ie most of the course, fucking learn it and hope its still in your head tomoro!"

except i am having a break haha. the whole days kinda been one big break with a tiny bit of study in between im so unmotivated
