Just finished unit 3 heinemann questions today.

But still not ready for prac exams.  Need to go back over spectroscopy and chromatography.  I'll probably read through the jacaranda book as well to get a different perspective on things, then I'll make some very brief notes on the really important stuff.  After that hit the neap smart study questions, and finally start prac exams.

i think i should be ok...
learn by exposing to new questions and their individual formats...
so yeah ...
i like doing gravimetric and volumetric ...
organic is alright...
spectroscopy .. . . .not fun at all ..
but yeah it's alright ...

so are you just doing questions from those topics or did u also learn or the biochemistry theory (there is so much by the looks of it .__.) and what jacaranda book are you using for questions?

Chromatography and Spectroscopy is difficult, but I like it because these are the techniques which are used in industry.

AoS 2 on the other hand, I don't really like.  There's like no limitation as to what they could expect you to be able to know or draw. :(

it's not that bad!! you just need to know how all the basics on everything, and to draw something becomes easy:) but yeah you're right with the knowledge bit since the study design barely says anything and it appears to be so much that is unsure if we need to know to be safe or not.
