It's actually been pretty chill *so far* but I'm picking up the pace. It's mainly chem 3/4 that I'm worried about as I didn't do 1/2, so I've been spending the holidays so far working through all the 1/2 content. Confusing, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it!
By the way I absolutely love your thread on chemistry facts!! Can't wait to impress my peers with all those knowledge once school starts ;)
That's certainly fair!
I understand the worry, just be careful for some of the 1/2 content, from memory some of it isn't that useful for 3/4, but is good for background knowledge! ^-^ I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon! :)

I'm glad you do, haha :) (a bit of extra knowledge doesn't hurt anyways ;) )

Hey there, I graduated in 2017 and did Chem units 3&4 without units 1&2. I've got a suggestion for you. I ended up doing this and it was a huge benefit in the long run. Initially, this sounds crazy, but here me out.

You may (or may not) be surprised to know that units 1&2 and units 3&4 are somewhat disconnected. There's a decent amount of material in units 1&2 that could be considered useless for units 3&4. So, once you have learned the basics of chemistry, the most important concept being stoichiometry and basic calculations regarding simple reactions, I suggest you learn units 3&4 and units 1&2 together. I taught myself from the units 3&4 textbook (and had some help from a tutor), and, when presented with theory that required prerequisite knowledge, I consulted the units 1&2 textbook, and then went back.

Now, I'm not saying that the remaining content in units 1&2 is useless. In some cases, it's somewhat helpful to know and completes your VCE Chemistry knowledge, but given the limited time you have, I think the more important concepts and theory should come first :)

Haha I like how it's called Class of 2019?
...

Congratulations on more or less finishing year 11 guys!! I know you've probably got Early year 12 classes now but my main advice is take a month (or more) to chill and have fun in the summer, in then if you feel like it do a week or so's work leading into year 12. Come into it fReSH!  ;D

Good luck for the start of school all of you, and just remember if things don't work out that people are your biggest blessings in life. There are so many people around who care about you. Even total strangers on the internet are looking out for you. That sounds creepy when you put it like that. Your friends and family care about you, but if you need even more love, then you can come here and feel sure of being looked after. I know that that was me sometimes last year, so know for sure that we're all here for you. Good luck, and have fun, Class of '19! :D

That's one of the biggest benefits of starting Unit 3&4 subjects early - the chance to improve! Anything in particular you learnt from the experience? :)

Yeah tbh I learnt that too much stress is detrimental (my fm score is proof), not to worry about predicted scores and not to waste time writing heaps of notes  :)

Don't you just love coming home to AN?  ;) I certainly do.

Just a quick question for everyone, do you all study every single day? Or do you take a full and complete break from all study-related tasks for a day, which is what I'm trying to do? I.e. using Sunday as my rest day.

Can't believe there's only ~6 months till it's all over! A mix of stress and apathy is how I would describe my thoughts the moment.

What I would say to fellow Year 12s is that it's not important, but ESSENTIAL to keep up a healthy lifestyle. Health is the one of the greatest resources of all.
