Tips for studying for my chemistry final?

<p>Basically, I need to get a 92+ in my chemistry final to get an A- for the year. I have an extremely awful teacher and my current 89.4 is one of the highest grades in the class. If i get anything lower than a 92, then I will get a B+ (yes, not bad for an honors chemistry class, but I'll be so unbelievably ****ed if this is my only B).</p>

<p>How should I study for it? Obviously I'll be looking at my tests from this semester and my notes, but any other tricks? Websites that'll help? Should I look at a Chem SAT book or will that just confuse me? I have about 2.5 weeks...</p>

<p>By the way, the exam covers the following: Atomic Theory (Atomic Radius, Electronegativity, etc.), Bonding, Solutions, Gases, Acids/Bases</p>

<p>Any chance you can get your hands on the syllabus for your course? I know my chem teacher gives it to us to use while studying.</p>

<p>I suggest going to a library or book store that has any kind of chemistry practice test (e.g. your aforementioned SAT chem book), and just sit down and take it. See how you do, and you can study up on your weaknesses.</p>

<p>Sounds like your honors chem class is pretty hard core. Mine's a joke at my school :D. Anyways, something tells me that going over the Chem SAT book is not the greatest idea. Maybe your class is actually that hard, but the stuff for SAT Chem might be more complex than what will be covered on your test. As you said, do look at your teacher's other tests. If he/she uses a lot of vocab and definitions, use index cards (I know I'm pointing out the obvious though). If you can use a calculator on all of the test, plug some of the harder to memorize info into your calculator, like putting notes in the source code for a program on a ti-83 and such (whether you guys think it's cheating or not is beside the point ;) )</p>

<p>Just try not to stress too much.</p>

<p>Chemistry sixth edition by Zumdahl</p>

<p>Yep, I was in that exact situation, except I took the final yesterday. I need an 86 to keep my A- (which is really freaking me out right now, as I don't know what I received yet). I made a "study guide" for myself by taking the key points from each chapter we learned. It's not so much studying the guide, but making it, that helps you remember concepts.</p>

<p>I'm in A level chemistry and it's kicking my butt right now. I have two teachers, one of whom isn't great, so I've pretty much learned his material from chemguide:</a> helping you to understand Chemistry - Main Menu and school</a> science uk. They're good for the UK syllabuses (syllabi?) but I'm not too sure about yours. Try to get a hold of your syllabus so you only learn what you're going to be tested on. And whatever you do, don't cram at the last minute like I'm doing right now!</p>

<p>Please anyone send me the solution for chapter 20!!!!
I really need it!!!
thanks</p>
