Check the topic "Paper 6 information (2009)".

You got to concentrate on acids and bases(cations and anions test in addition to the gases) you need to know how to draw a graph, read from diagrams of apparatus.

Read that topic for the chemistry thing.
Solve as much past papers as you can.

Good luck

chill out... go practice past papers from 2000 onwards... refer the mark schemes for any problems. refer your textbooks and get your concepts perfect for the questions.

Memorise the tests for anions and cations, they're in ur syllabus. page 21, i guess. practicse as many of these questions u possibly can.

if u have the chemistry IGCSE study guide, its a very helpful revision tool.. refer that too

and READ as many text books and experiments u can.

Another thing, dont worry at all, thats what I investigated right now. Grade thresholds for Chemistry is coming so low. The average for paper6 is 40s out of 60 which you'll get an A. E means 24 in MJ08 ! So you wont get it seriously!

dont worry! just until few hours ago i think i was just like you
i've been solving the all paper 6 past papers and i still didnt understand some of the stuff so well
even from checking through the mark schemes i still had some doubts
and so i decided to read through my book
and guess wot~ i understand everything now, lolz
it's like magic! lolz, just kidding (soz, i over exaggerated, lolz)

i'm not saying that solving the past papers dont help
they do help, A LOT! but first you've got to understand the terms and then solve the questions
and then you can even predict wot they're gonna ask and everything'll be really easy

Chill, do what you can. If you panic you'd even mess up on the easiest questions ever. So just calm down, take a deep breath and tell yourself "I can do it" with all your heart. =D
