chemistry is just like any other subject so past papers and stuff
What i have been doing this year is doing past papers and learning the notes from questions in past papers i dont know.
For chemistry you should try to make sure you can do all the multiple choice questions because they tend to overlap from year to year

You could a past paper with no revision and see what you get and what you are weak at , then look over notes and do another past paper, and then you will keep getting better

Get a piece of A4 paper and divide into 8 small pieces. On one side write a question and on the other an answer. First look at the answers. Then look at the questions to see if you can remember the answers. For example:
The colour changes for oxidizing agents.
What makes an alcohol an alcohol and a ketone a ketone.
Differences between fats and oils.
I don't take credit for this. My chemistry teacher once suggested the idea.

just memorize every thing in the text book or revision book, then do all the past papers ^^
If not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell!

My chem teacher actually gave us a prelim analysis.She took the questions and divided them into the sections ie SG,Hydrocarbons etc.Then we got our prelims and if we got it right then we ticked bside the Q on a separate piece of paper and it allowed us to see our weak points.Its a bit late now to post this tho.....yes past papers are a very good source for Chemistry.

I never got my chemistry prelim paper back. The teacher just read out everyones marks to the class. In fact now I think about it I have never received a test paper back in chemistry or has a teacher gone over the questions (just read out the marks to the class). I find this quite bizzare considering no other subject does this.
I never had a major problem with this (for reasons I will not mention in case I make someone jealous) so I didn't complain. However I still find it weird.

You should do as many past papers as you can, especially calculations questions which require a lot of practise.

In the absence of the reason being mentioned I am guessing that your teacher gave you lollipops.
