Concepts, Important yet Basic..Get It Clear!!

MEMORISE BASIC BUT

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS

Memorize important facts and processes

at least know how to write correct chemicalequation, do simple calculation and understandbasic chemical concept likes Mole Concept.

You must Note that there are only a few typesof calculations in Chemistry compared toPhysics so please master all the calculations.

Try to learn them yourselves reading the

reference books first. If you really couldntunderstand them, you should seek help fromyour class or tuition teacher.

Memorize the colours of chemical substances,understand the salt preparation process.(should work effectively although some mightargue that memorizing facts is the wrong way oflearning.)

Strongly recommended to understand eachconcept and fact before you start memorizingthem.

Practise past-year O Level papers / OtherSchool Papers Past-year O Level questions will repeat from

time to time because of the limited scopecovered in O Level Chemistry syllabus.

Practice makes perfect. Try every questionand learn from your mistakes.

For essay questions, get the marking schemafrom your teachers so that you can see howthe marks are allocated and which points orkeywords deserve full mark, etc. Learningfrom the essay marking schemes is a highly

effective method!

The most important key

is to go through every

chapter and learn the

basic concept, then

understand its concept by

doing some practice

questions. Doing

questions will let you

know how to apply this

concept.

In Biology, where you need 75% of MEMORIZING skill and25% UNDERSTANDING of your text. Mean while for Physics,its the other way round where you need only 25%MEMORIZING skill (my friend derives the formulae other thanmemorizes it!!) and 75% understanding. Chemistry is someway in the middle and should be the easy for all. You needhalf memory and half understanding, i.e. you are not onlymemorize the formulae and concept, you need to apply themas well.
