Problem-sets
But wait... before you start to bash through the problems, here are some things you should take note of:
Practice doesn't always make perfect. Mindful practice does! So learn from your mistakes and don't give up!
- The problem-set contains a mix of standard and non-standard questions. You should not solely rely on the problem-set for revision.
- You should be familiar with the core concepts in each chapter first before attempting the questions. Doing the questions in your lecture book, and some tutorial questions from your school is advised.
- Questions may not be limited to the focus chapter(s) of the problem-set. Knowledge of previous chapter(s) is assumed in a new problem-set.
- Some of the questions are meant to be weird/unusual/frightening/daunting/unreasonable. But you don't get to choose which questions you answer in the exam. It's part of the learning process too!
- The mark allocation for all problem-sets is 1 mark to 1.5 minutes (inclusive of checking).
- Please supplement your learning with Prelim papers too.

More basic / easier questions?
Please check out the UK 'A'-Level Chemistry papers, which are undeniably easier to do, and it can be a great tool to test whether you have mastered your basics. Some of their theory is out of syllabus, so check the answer sheet for any unfamiliar reactions! You are NOT required to know these, so do not worry.
