Secret #1 Focus more on important topics to build up the strong foundation

For O Level Chemistry, all students must understand that there are few topics taught in Secondary 3 which are very important, including Chemical Formula Writing and Chemical Equations Balance, Ionic Equations, Chemical Bonding, Acids & Bases, and Mole Calculations. Students should make every efforts to build up the strong foundation in Chemistry, especially those chapters covered earlier in Secondary 3 because almost every topic is interrelated.

Secret #2 Identify The Proper Keywords For Structured Questions

For O Level Chemistry structured questions, students are required to use the proper keywords or key phrases in the answers.
