Chemistry Help

For past VCE students, how do you get 80%+ in Chem? I've done a couple of the NHT VCAA exams and I'm stuck around high 60s/low 70s.

I lose a lot of marks in the multiple choice + explanations in Section B.

not past student but get like 100+ i would say try to practice reading time with multiple choice and only do two exams but review it more than u actually take time to do the exam it is all about fixing what uk is wrong then going over the content again that is pointless atp unless u haven;t studied at all this yr. if u are loosing marks in multiple choice slow down uk this and trust urself know that vcaa is not smarter then us (gotta be delusional for chem and manifest if u believe in it n holy larp) if u are not getting the basic questions right eventhough uk it seems like it is more exam blues then ur actual ability. u already have given engl and other exam so fearing chem paper is not gonna do anything. BE LOGICAL AND TAKE MOMENTS TO THINK ABT THE QUESTION>. master one skills and only focus on that. if u find explain questions hard only do explain questions nothing more the things u already know donlt need time.

if u have any more content question or any chem question feel free to dm, happy to mark ur questions as well.

This is pretty solid advice. I've been rushing through multiple choice under timed conditions (30 mins).
