Question

How can I ace chemistry?

Community Answer

Study hard, there's a strong correlation between how much you study each night and your grade. You must put in the effort to get results. Also, being caught up is much easier than catching up. Try not to fall behind early, or you will very likely remain that way for the duration of the class.

Question

How can I bring up my grade?

Community Answer

The best advice I can come up with is learning it for yourself. If you don't understand a topic in school, look for additional resources like Khan Academy or YouTube for help.

Theoretically yes, if you wanted to. You could print one out and light it on fire in a safe place.

Question

How do I concentrate in chemistry class?

Community Answer

Don't sit by your friends (I know it's hard, but if you want to have a good grade, then you must make many sacrifices). Also, engage in class discussion. If the teacher asks a question and you know the answer, raise your hand. If there's something you don't understand, raise your hand and ask about it. Taking notes will help too.

Question

Is listening to music good when revising?

Community Answer

It depends on the person. Music helps some people concentrate but distracts others. You can try it and see. Calm, instrumental music is generally the best to use.

Question

I really want to get a good grade but I just can't seem to motivate myself to put in the effort. What are little things I can do?

Community Answer

Watch a documentary on the subject, taking notes and revising them for upcoming lessons or tests. You can also read a book on the subject, taking a break every 20 minutes or so.

Question

What are the best books to learn the periodic table?

Community Answer

Read "The Elements" by Theodore Gray. The book is $12 - $20 depending on where you choose to buy it. And perhaps also get his "Molecules" book. The information stated is understandable and informative and you'll remember the periodic table with ease.
