A level Chemistry Syllabus

Links to Contents page

One thing that is very important to know is that the examiners will only test stuff that are in the syllabus. The more challenging questions probably require you to connect different pieces of information in the syllabus and come up with a new idea. However all the information can be found in the syllabus. Therefore i encourage all students to at least read through the syllabus which is available in the website below.

The second thing is don't try to know everything. Just understand what is in the syllabus first. Its a fatal error to memorize the whole textbok from front to back. If you really need something to memorize, memorize the notes that your teachers give you.

Aim of this blog

Links to Contents page

The aim of this blog is help help students score well in the A level Chemistry examinations. I feel that one of the best ways to score well in exams is to familiarize yourself with past year exam questions. By doing past year exam questions, it stimulates your thinking. Also as you do more questions, you will begin to understand how examiners think and what are the important things to remember.

Thus, I will be providing full solutions to past year exam questions. I will also post some comments on the questions and also some common mistakes that students make. I will update the blog every weekend. If you have any chemistry questions, please leave a comment and I will try to answer them as soon as possible.

Examination is something everyone has to go through. It is quite sad that some people lose faith in themselves because they dont do well in exams. I hope that through this blog, students who ware willing to put in some effort to study will be able to do reasonably well in the Chemistry A level exam.

Initially this blog was written with Singaporean Junior college students in mind. However I think that students from other countries who are taking the Chemistry A level examinations will also benefit. A sizeable number of students in the UK also take the A level exams. I hope they can also benefit from this blog.

Welcome to alevelchem.blogspot.com and all the best for your A level exams
