Tips for Honors Chemistry

I’ve been studying this summer but I still feel that I am not prepared.

Hi! I made As both semesters in Honors Chem during my sophomore year without studying over the summer. Even though it will most likely be different at your school, I would just say that all of my homework was optional and I did every piece of it. My teacher had a website where they would post all of the worksheets they had ever used for the class, so I would use all of them depending on what unit we were in. Additionally, take notes over everything even if the teacher says it won’t be on the test. Most of all, just study! It will be a challenging class, but with hard work you’ll do great.

Take diligent notes and do alllllllll of your homework. Even extra homework.

Use free online resources, many teachers post videos or helpful notes and guides. Also, take advantage of practice problems and make sure to review notes consistently. I’ve found concept is key (not memorization) if you can grasp the concept many questions are a piece of cake.
