Top Exam Tips for A-Level Chemistry

Strategic advice for A-Level Chemistry excellence

1
Master Organic Mechanisms

Learn all required mechanisms thoroughly—draw curly arrows correctly and show all intermediate steps. These are easy marks if you know them.

2
Practice Calculations Daily

A-Level Chemistry has extensive calculations. Practice moles, equilibria, pH, and energetics calculations until they're automatic.

3
Learn Spectroscopy Interpretation

Know how to interpret IR, NMR, and mass spectra. Create summary sheets with key peaks and chemical shifts for quick reference.

4
Use Your Data Booklet

Familiarize yourself with the data booklet layout. Know where to find electrode potentials, IR frequencies, and NMR shifts quickly.

5
Know Practical Techniques

15% of marks relate to practical skills. Understand distillation, reflux, titrations, and how to evaluate experimental procedures.

6
Write Balanced Equations

Practice writing balanced equations including state symbols. Check oxidation states in redox equations—a systematic approach prevents errors.
