Tips

• You can always use reference materials to guide you through the subject.
• Don't be shy to ask questions from your teacher. It is you who is going to sit for the exam. You need to know everything that is in your syllabus.
• Try to relate the environment and chemistry because it plays a major role in the present way of living.
• Practice solving chemistry problems because they test how well you understand the topic. Do again sample problems and solve as many problems as you can until you master the entire topic.
• Don't focus on the final answer itself. Make sure you know how to do the problem from scratch.

Warnings

• Remember do not study too much just before the exam because you will forget everything.
• Do not study chemistry late in the night because it will be hard to think as you feel sleepy.
• Don't act as if you know everything. It pays to listen attentively because you might have some misconceptions that need to be corrected.
• During the entire term, it is a must that you do your best. It would be unfair for the others if you ask for extra work to compensate for your poor marks. Extra work is not needed if you have done your best.
