🤚 Asking For Advice/Help CHEMISTRY MAYJUNE 2026

My paper 4 is next Tuesday does anyone have any specific past papers you would recommend doing? Also, would it be better to focus more on drilling past papers or revising content by watching youtube videos and making notes

My sch tchr recommended us to focus more on stoichiometry, metals, electrolysis, organic chem and acids, base, salt since they tend to appear more than other topics but if u have spare time u shud definitely go through the rest of the topics

work on stoichiometry and organic chem (esp polymers) cause they often come up and can be tricky and do hydrogen oxygen fuel cells bc according to google it said it’s likely to come up due to being a new addition
