5. Useful information and guideline

Master basic but important concepts• You must at least know how to write

correct chemical/ionic/half equation, do simple calculation and understand basic chemical concept likes Mole Concept.

• Note that there are only a few types of calculations in Chemistry, so please master all the calculations.

• Try to learn them yourselves reading the reference books first. If you really couldn’t understand them, you should seek help from your class teacher.

Memorize important facts and processes• Memorize the colours of chemical substances,

understand the salt preparation process… • It works effectively although some might argue that

memorizing facts is the wrong way of learning. • However, I strongly recommend you to understand

each concept and fact before you start memorizing them.

• Learning Chemistry becomes more exciting and enjoyable using this method.

• Salt ; Carbon compound ; Chemical reaction ; Chemical formula ; Nuemonic

Practise past-year SPM papers• Past-year SPM questions will repeat from

time to time because of the limited scope covered in SPM Chemistry syllabus.

• Practice makes perfect. Try every question and learn from your mistakes

• For essay questions, get the marking schema from your teachers so that you can see how the marks are allocated and which points or keywords deserve full mark, etc.

Practise all trial papers

• You can either exchange SPM trial papers with your friends from other states or get them online through certain websites.

• Try Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) SPM trial papers too!

• Sometimes, one or more exact or similar questions will come out in the actual SPM Chemistry paper.

• After SPM trial examinations, try to get other states’ SPM trial papers and practise them
