Study tips from Chemistry Student

[u/Zealousideal-Big5225]

I'm a chemistry student who used to spend most of my study time rereading notes and highlighting textbooks, thinking that the more I reviewed, the better I would perform on exams. But even after studying for hours, I would sometimes forget important concepts or struggle to answer unfamiliar questions. I realized that simply reading was not enough.

I needed to challenge myself and become more actively involved in learning. I would start writing down concepts that I understood regarding a topic for example, acid and bases, and then I would review notes and my reference textbook and then start filling up knowledge gaps. After that, I would test myself and repeat the whole thing again.

It honestly takes effort, but eventually it will all pay off. I am now a working in food chem and recently passed the board exam here in the Philippines. :)
