General tips/hints

[Natalie 3k]

Hi! I was just curious as to what topics everyone had a hard time with, and what hints or tips you found that helped you out. Goodluck on all your finals!

I sometimes struggle with determining which equation(s) from our equation sheet should be used for a certain problem and whether I am using it correctly. To tackle this issue, I have just been doing problems from the book and Sapling. While I have already done the majority of these problems, going over the process of choosing and applying each equation has been very helpful for me. Other than this, I have been simply reviewing notes and homework from sections that I'm not entirely confident with.

I agree with Hayden, it really helps to look over practice problems and practice applying the equations so you can understand what equation goes with what concept.

I agree I think the best thing to do is review instead of learning new topics.

Yes chemistry gets much easier when one just goes through the motions of problem solving and learning as you go.

I also have fairly hard time with this as well! I've really been going through all the problems and writing down any that I was unable to solve without looking at the answers process. Then at the end, I mix them together and try them all again, that way I don't know exactly what section or topic the questions are from! This is how the test is so it has been helpful:)
