Chemistry Yearlies (1 Viewer)

Sorry guys, I know that this general spiel must've been posted heaps of times but I'm really worried. I'm not really asking HOW to study in this case, more like WHAT to study.

I'm from NSBHS and it would help heaps if any old boys could answer me too =]]

ATM, we're using Chemistry Pathways 1 and for every assessment, I've looked through the textbook along with the syllabus, but when i actually get the test, none of it seems to be what I studied! *groans* Any ideas? I'm worried that I'm taking the wrong angle and studying the wrong things?

get the syllabus and rite an answer for every dot pt, those are practically the qs they can ask u in an exam, then ur done. now u have to get sum motivation to read over them 50 times and u'll be fine.

if you do alot of questions and papers then your bound to come across the areas covered in your exam and by doing alot you cover the same aspect from different angles.... i find answering alot of questions properly helps more than just reading a textbook or making/reading syllabus notes....

yeh i do that. but i dunno...is it cos like in maths they can have different styled questions and im not used to it? cos i never seem to be able to answer the question properly. i have most of the theory in my head...*desperate*

It has basically all the information you need as written in the syllabus. It doesn't give you all the unnecessary and sometimes confusing details other textbooks seem to give. It has a lot of colour and diagrams which makes reading it less tedious, and the exercises in it are a lot of help if you take them seriously.

 

[panda-bum]

wow. okay....perhaps i shall give it a try. so does it mean that i don't have to follow the syllabus cos the textbook follos it already?

Bug your teachers and tutors. You can buy Success One from most book stores. I find it to be quite helpful.
