  1. arkhnnDecember 25, 2022 at 10:19 pm Hello! I just wanted to drop by and leave a little message. This website singlehandedly saved my chemistry grade (AS and A2) . I told myself that, if I get through the years with an A or above, I’ll leave the best review (ever). Thank you so incredibly much for making a remarkable difference in the lives of so many students. My entire class also used your notes & relied on them for pretty much everything. I did the OAQA board and barely touched my own textbook since your notes were in-depth to the perfect degree. I printed them out, used them in class & always raved about them. Thank you so much. Thank you for making them easily accessible (and free)! I’m writing this as a first-year uni student and I hope this gave you an idea about your impact on students all around the world. Bless you!
  1. belJanuary 26, 2023 at 9:00 pm Hey. if you don’t mind me asking how did you revise?
  1. chemrevise Post author December 1, 2019 at 10:51 am It’s a good question. It does look a little odd- I have sulfuric acid as an (l). I have checked with some academic sources and the l and s are correct. Concentrated sulfuric acid is a liquid rather than an aqueous solution. The NaHSO4 is therefore produced as a solid. I can’t say I have seen a mark scheme where this has been tested but will keep my eyes open. It would be fine to write them both as (aq) though.
  1. Mo H DavisDecember 20, 2019 at 11:04 pm I went from a D in the mock, 2 months prior to the exam, to an A in the final exam – all thanks to this resource. Especially the visual aid of the mechanisms; if you can learn that image off by heart you can do any mechanism question.
  1. AdrianMarch 23, 2023 at 11:42 am Hi, could you give me some revision tips please on what to do using these guides? Thanks
  1. emmacampbell2000April 3, 2019 at 1:31 pm Oops sorry, just found it! It just wasn’t as obvious as I thought it would be.
  1. Asks8aamJune 12, 2018 at 11:44 pm Lol this came up in paper 2
    But I think you can collect it in a cooled beaker which has been placed in an ice bath as that minimises loss due to evaporation
    Also you have to ensure the temperature on the thermometer is at the boiling point of the aldehyde or just below it.
  1. chemrevise Post author June 3, 2018 at 4:32 pm Aqa does not have a topic on sulfur and nitrogen. Any questions that appear on them are from topics like group 7 , redox or equilibria. The only syllabus that has a specific topic on these is CIE international A-level
  1. chemrevise Post author June 3, 2018 at 9:05 am Same thing applies to both
  1. chemrevise Post author June 3, 2018 at 9:06 am In 3.6 analysis
  1. chemrevise Post author May 23, 2018 at 8:38 am The syllabus has not changed but I have made some improvements to the notes this year.
  1. ssj20May 30, 2018 at 6:54 pm Great Notes
    Thank you
  1. chemrevise Post author May 21, 2018 at 10:44 am In terms of factual content yes it is all here. Just reading these notes won’t get you an A* though. You need to do lots of questions and push your understanding
  1. chemrevise Post author May 21, 2018 at 10:42 am The only place I have Ksp notes is in 7-cie-equilibria in CIE international A-level or text book 4-35-acid-base-equilibria chapter.
  1. chemrevise Post author May 16, 2018 at 11:03 am I put some explanation of this in the chapter on condensation polymers.
  1. chemrevise Post author April 16, 2018 at 4:40 pm If you want an A* then I think you should know everything on the guides. I would suggest going through the guides with a copy of the syllabus to hand so you can be sure why you the things are there.
  1. chemrevise Post author May 5, 2018 at 8:19 am The first six practicals are AS
  1. chemrevise Post author April 10, 2018 at 5:54 pm No the syllabus changed
  1. chemsterMay 2, 2018 at 4:43 pm cool chem stuff
  1. chemrevise Post author March 25, 2018 at 6:47 pm It is not a mistake. They often combine heats of combustion and formation in the same question to confuse people and see if they really understand what they are doing. I suggest you look again and try to undo your confusion.
  1. chemrevise Post author March 10, 2018 at 1:40 pm The AQA definition for transition metals which is IUPAC as far as I interpret it does include Sc as in its atom form it does have a 3d electron. Definitions for other exam boards are slightly different and definitely exclude Scandium.
  1. TasneemMarch 2, 2018 at 8:51 pm Hi i was just wondering will these ve updated any more or Any new pdf added.I want to print them out and start making notes on them.
  1. chemrevise Post author March 10, 2018 at 1:37 pm It is unlikely there will be any changes now until end of year
  1. chemrevise Post author February 17, 2018 at 4:11 pm fragmentation is not on AQA but is on OCR and Edexcel
