How to Study Chemistry

I tutor chemistry so I know that so so many students struggle with it! Here are some tips I came up with to help you guys master this class.

1. Chemistry is not impossible to understand!!

I think this is the most important step you need to absorb! It’s not as hard as people tend to think. It’s just different from any other class. 

2. Practice practice practice

You need to practice at least every week if you don’t wanna go blank on the exam. I know we’re all busy and we all have lives but it’s important to practice regularly. I know some textbooks have practice problems at the end of chapters. Solve them! Also, you can search them online. Here is a good resource.

3. Get a tutor.

Most American universities have free peer tutors on campus. Use this free option if you can. 

4. Know all of the terms.

You have to know your chemistry terms in order to understand the material. Make sure you understand them before memorizing. 

5. Participate in class. 

Professors will show solutions for problems in class and ask for answers. Don’t be shy to be wrong. You’re all learning. It’s better to make a mistake during class and understand it then make it on the exam. Ask questions, ask to repeat or explain something again. Never let a professor move on when you didn’t understand anything he/she just said. You can also ask a question. Just never hesitate. 

Sirius Black attends St. Godric's, an all-boy's school. He is failing Chemistry. Remus Lupin attends Hogwarts Academy, a co-ed school. He excelled in Chemistry. Remus volunteers to tutor kids from St. Godric's. Sirius is forced to be sign up to get a tutor. Sirius begs Remus over text to pretend to tutor him so they don't have to actually meet. Remus is in the midst of a family crisis and is in the process of getting over a traumatic event. Sirius has recently been illegally disowned and is in the process of trying to reclaim his former possessions and get past emotional horrors. With everything going on, how could either boy be expected to care about Chemistry at all?
