Chemistry AS Multi Choice Help
« on: November 16, 2009, 05:08:57 am »
So, I happen to be very bad at this. Structured and practical was OK...

Do you guys have any tips? How to study for multi choice?

Any relevant information would be greatly appreciated.

i would mainly say know your notes well, and if you think you know it well test your knowledge by doing the papers. More practice you get the better you'll do in the exam as most of the time multi-choice questions sometimes repeat...

Actually in chemistry paper 1 they don't repeat... at most maybe 1-2 questions
But in physics they repeat 3-4 ques....so for chem v really need to stick to knowledge instead of learning by heart!!
By the way which chem paper1 u guys taking? paper 12 or 11? I think its given in ur statement of entry...it should b somthin like: 9701/12 or 9701/11....i'm doin 9701/12

Yeah, i meant that even though they don't repeat the exact question they usually ask a similar question, so if you understood how to do the question in the past paper you would be able to do the similar question they give you  ;). Yeah mainly for Chemistry you need to know your notes and understand the concepts.

9701/12
Good luck with the exams ;D

That's pretty careless of your school... cause i could remember when i was in IGCSE, one of the papers went missing and they had to call the police and stuff... apparently they found it inside one of the teachers's car who was transporting the papers  :D.

Well, I scanned this book and it has old paper questions as well.. with the answers, etc.

I hope it helps. Took me hours scanning. It still won't convert to PDF.  >:( >:( >:( >:( !@#$

Anywho, it has Introduction to Organic Chemistry, Hydrocarbons and Polymerisation.
It does not include carboxylic acids, carbonyl compounds, and hydrogen derivatives. (I was too tired to scan more, plus I haven't started studying at all..so yeah)

Mainly for Vince, but if others benefit too = :D

Good Luck for the exam guys!
