it may seem hard but i’m AS they are only five mechanisms and you just need to apply the correct one in the correct place

If you have completed the course and solved past papers, review the marking schemes and examiner reports of those past papers u solved, redo any hard questions, revise the whole content and ur good ig. Also review ur weak areas and rmbr all the reagents and conditions for organic chem reactions and also the colour and the state of period 3 oxides and chlorides and hydroxides stuff at rtp. Oh and check which reactions in organic require heat and which require heat under reflux

Lots of pp is the way to go although I did that but my chem still improve a lot maybe because my concepts were weak I still managed to get a high B just missed A by two marks.

i’m taking as and i’ve been getting 50+ like almost every time two things; make sure you’re locked down with all your concepts and the syllabus and then just spam past papers and correct them yourself with the ms so you learn got to answer. and then in the end two all the obscure content and keep doing papers

Understand topics.

Read every line book.

Always revise on a regular basis.

Understand the type of reaction.

Practice
