Most of the questions come out in edexcel chemistry A2 mostly are from past year questions.study the past year papers and at the same time read notes or study the particular topics.this way of study is fast and fun too as well will help u to obtain good grade=)

As you said siddiss, you don't learn chemistry and this might be a problem when it comes to the organic part....if you don't understand the reactions, u might hv to learn them!! However, there is another way....try making mindmaps or sumthing visual that connects the reactions....it is especially useful if u hv a photographic memory....all u hv to do is stare at it  ;) and hopefully ull brain will be able to recall the reactions by trying to visualize the drawing (or whatever u make)...  :)

Here are some examples attached =) sorry if they aren't so clear  :-\ my scanner isn't working so i had to take a pic of it frm a book

enjoyyy  :D and goooooodluck in all ur exams!!!  ;D

it's a Nelson Thornes book (NAS....Nelson Advanced Science)

It's called "Make the Grade Chemistry by George Facer.....Revision guide for Edexcel AS/A2 Modular Chemistry"

Green colour

Lo0oL i dunno what more can i say...hope i described it completely incase any of u guys are interested in buyin one  :)

By the way, it's a really really really good boook!!! i studied from it for my class tests and got 90+ ...it summarises evrything and condenses it down to only the main points that u need to learn and understand...and also gives summaries (as u saw in the attachement) for each topic in a form that's easy to learn =)

Chemistry is fun as long as you understand it, I fell in love with chemistry when I started A levels.....but that doesn't mean that I don't need your blessings...... ;D
