Y11 REVIEW

Chemistry is different to/sometimes more difficult than many other courses for various reasons, but one of those is because almost every aspect of the Year 11 course (except small pieces here and there, and electrochemistry) is revisited as the basis for Year 12 work, and therefore examinable. 

Study for this subject absolutely requires that you solidly understand Year 11 work. The tutorials and videos on this page take you back through the Preliminary Course to ensure that you have a sound foundation for the HSC. This will help the pieces fall together. 

You are strongly encouraged to review one per day / night to consolidate your learning.
