    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 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.

    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.
