Chemistry is killing me
-
Organic chem at A level nid to memorise like siao,gt method share bo>/?/
-
I'm proud of my O lvl chemistry results: F9.
-
I dropped Chemistry at the end of JC Yr 1. Could not cope at all... Yeah the organic part especially...
-
A lvl suk
i haven't gotten to Organic yet...oh no...i forsee horrorability -
I was surprised to get a B when I averaged a D.

Gt success story mah,demoralising hear all e failure lah

wow dude, i believe u didn't make it to poly?Originally posted by Manager433:I'm proud of my O lvl chemistry results: F9. -
O Level Organic Chemistry can kill me, still A Levels ar...
But luckily, other chapters of chemistry is quite easy... -
i get quite good grades for my chem in sec 3
in sec 4 where there are organic chem and the QA section, i flunked all the way and my chem teacher hated me ever since -
I got an absent grade.Originally posted by Manager433:I'm proud of my O lvl chemistry results: F9. -
Find your own ways to memorise. Nobody can help you when it comes to this for what works for others will (not may) not work for you.
-
Condense your information around important information about each group of chemicals, like ways to identify them, properties and their explanations, uses, etc.

no real shortcuts man...but then if u know the reaction mechanisms it might help u cos u can predict what reactions it can haveOriginally posted by Chelzea:Organic chem at A level nid to memorise like siao,gt method share bo>/?/
for e.g....
alkanes : free rad. sub....this one no need to elaborate la
alkenes: electrophilic addition.....so if u see a compound that has dipole moment alrdy(H2O) or can be made to have dipole moment (e.g. H2) u will know straight away if it can react with an alkene and how.
benzenes: electrophilic addition, any compound that can be turned into an electrophile through catalysts like halogen carriers will react
phenols: C-0 and O-H bond fission
just keep studying la will get better one...dont understand anything ask ur teachers or friends lor. this chapter quite straight forward one...not much understanding required...just alot of work... -
me too! but its for math.Originally posted by Manager433:I'm proud of my O lvl chemistry results: F9. -

you're right.Originally posted by RETARDED_MORON:Find your own ways to memorise. Nobody can help you when it comes to this for what works for others will (not may) not work for you. -
dunno if i count but i got an A+ for basic organic chem in uni, eventhough i never take A lvl chem and took with the chem majorsOriginally posted by Chelzea:Gt success story mah,demoralising hear all e failure lah -
JC 1 or 2.. wat sch u from..? me JC too.. =DDOriginally posted by Chelzea:Organic chem at A level nid to memorise like siao,gt method share bo>/?/ -
My friend once said that organic chem can only be easy once you memorise the compound.

Me jc2,u wad sch?Originally posted by d3sT1nY:JC 1 or 2.. wat sch u from..? me JC too.. =DD Sure better jc den me de -
Du lan wif chem liao
Think i getting tutor liao

Draw yourself a mind map linking all the organic compounds. If you are lazy, I can lend u mine. I find it quite useful. ANyway, I last time also always fail organic chem tests one..but the sch sure will drill you after june until you can get almost full marks for organic chem when come Prelims.

1 mind map for e entire organic chem?Originally posted by schoolworkphobia:Draw yourself a mind map linking all the organic compounds. If you are lazy, I can lend u mine. I find it quite useful.

How did u do it?Niway why e sch will drill u only after june?

Ai nt all subject sux lahOriginally posted by finoq:A lvl suk
i haven't gotten to Organic yet...oh no...i forsee horrorability I like econs and maths lah Time needed to study maths n econs added together is less den chem
