What should you do in preparation for the exams?

How you should study for Chemistry before the exams will really depend on where you’re at in the academic year. Have you just started the Year 12 syllabus for Chemistry, or are you a few weeks away from sitting all of your HSC exams?

If you’ve only started the Year 12 HSC Chemistry syllabus…

You’ll want to focus on building up your study notes — lucky for you, we’ve got a great guide here that details how you should write them up and when to jump into practice questions!

To figure out what you should be studying, you may want to convert your HSC Chemistry Syllabus into a study checklist to figure out what you know and what you’re missing.

It’s also important to familiarise yourself with writing up a Chemistry extended response, since it’ll be a major part of the exam. We’ve got the steps you should take to writing up your response here, as well as a sample response.

Remember that even if for your first few assessments, you aren’t getting the top marks and aren’t too happy with how you’re progressing in the subject, there are still ways to improve and get the mark you do actually want!

If you’re close to sitting your exam…

How are your marks looking? Are you feeling confident about sitting the exam?

If you’re feeling a little worried about how your marks look, there’s still a chance to bounce back! You can find our tips here for improving your study techniques before the final exam.

When there’s only one week left until the actual exam, it’s crunch time. So you’ll want to make your study as effective as possible and do it efficiently. With 7 days left, how do you prioritise what to study?

Check out our 7 day study plan for HSC Chemistry here, so you can make the most of that week left of study!

When you’ve only got one night left before the exam, there is only so much you can study in that amount of time. Find out how you can maximise your study time here!

Matt Saunders is a huge nerd who first got into writing through fanfiction. He’d known science was the path for him since a young age, and after discovering a particular love of bad chemistry jokes (and chemistry too), he’s gone onto to study Forensic Chemistry at UTS. His HSC in 2014 was defined in equal parts by schoolwork and stagecraft, which left him, weirdly enough, with a love of Maths strong enough to inspire him to tutor any level, along with 7-10 Science and HSC Chemistry.
