Chemistry Study Tips
Do you study hard but sometimes get poor grades? Read this and this to see how you can change that.
How organized are your notes? Do you only write down the words the teacher writes, top to bottom on the page? Check this resource for several more effective note-taking methods.
Also, see the Syllabus and Study Tips page for a compilation of excellent strategies to help you succeed in chemistry. Some were written with high school chemistry in mind, others for university-level chemistry. The common thread is that they are time-tested.
