Ready for your O level Chemistry exams? NO? Click here to find out how I can help you.

For those local students that did not do well for the O Level Chemistry Paper 2 on Oct 20th, do not be discouraged because there is one more chance for you to UP your Chemistry Grades.

You still have your Chemistry Paper 1 (Multiple Choice Questions) Exams in 19 days time. There is more than enough time for your to re-learn and re-fine your Chemistry Concepts and earn high marks for it.

There are 40 marks for you to bag in Chemistry Paper 1 and weightage is as high as 30%!

But there is one problem i usually see. Students tends to let off their guards and relax before the Paper 1 because:

1. Chemistry Paper 1 is the last paper of GCE O Level Exams and students already in “holiday mood”

2. Many students feel that Paper 1 (MCQs) is very easy .i.e relax mood….just go there select choices

They are certainly wrong about this. MCQs is the one that truly tests you on your concepts and applications.

In Paper 2 (Written Theory), questions are usually phrased and linked from one part to another, to help you to get some marks here and there.

But in Paper 1 (MCQs), you will score only either when you know the concepts really well and know how to apply, or when you are lucky. For me, i don’t believe in luck - i prefer to control my own destiny.

Now, that is the reason you see me starting this Mini Series on Tough MCQs.

And for those that wish to score an A1 for overall Chemistry Exams, i can assure you that MCQs will ultimately determine whether you get an A1 or A2! Trust me on that cause i have been through that, just like hundreds of students that i have coached before.

Below are sets of Exam-based MCQs for you to try:

Question 1:

A. loss of water only
B. loss of water and sulphur trioxide
