Maybe.
i reserve my opinions. (is that used correctly ? -.- )
one hour is quite a fair amount of time. the key is in organising it.
for example, if you know that you are particualarly sucky in a certain topic, when you see a question pertaining to that topic, read it and judge if you have done anything similar, if you can't recall anything on the spot, skip it.
Chemistry questions are quite standard usually, except for certain stuff like molar calculations--they generally tend to be harder cause they require a solid grasp on multiple topics. eg balancing of equations, properties of the elements, as well as the different formulas. for those questions, if you don't get them, just skip.
spend time on getting the questions you know correct. Even if your goal is to secure and A1, you can afford to get 10 questions wrong. it allows for you to have a few questions that you cant do. But, if you waste these 10 questions on not getting the questions that you do know, wrong then it's just plain stupid.
one way i do it is>>
1.finish as quickly as possible, skip questions that i dont know
2. go back to the questions previously skipped (you might suddenly remember how to do them)
the key here is to get the one you can do done, if you're still left with questions you don't know, let them be.
3.check through work + double check against the OAS sheet
4. if you stil have time, reread the questions you didnt know how to do,do some logical reasoning, and pick the answer accordingly, if all fails just pick any random one :D
5. hand up the paper. cause by the time you finish all of the above, your 1 hour would have been up :D
these are just tips for exams, practice and hard work of course is still a necessity.
by the way, it is possible for you to do well for chem. last year, i nearly failed my chem paper. i got a meagre 27/45. and this year i've acutally managed to get 39/45. (though i must admit quite alot of people in my class got that too, but still...)
anyways, believe in yourself, work hard and
jiayou! :D
that just means the paper is easier what. hence the jump in marks isnt really a jump ? x.x
school papers or A level papers?
A level papers shouldn't be a problem to finish. its more of a problem of not getting tricked.
same as o lv what.
school more diff what. =.='

thanks guys, keep the advice coming.
School papers are harder than the A level ones? since schools are generally kiasu and over prepare their students.
so you can expect the A levels paper to be slightly easier than ur sch prelims.
but however, if you are those type who have 5 or more qsns unattempted cos of time limit, it is unlikely that the drop in difficulty will aid you much.
