This is the chemistry exam notes from a student who got all A1 across Nat 5, Higher, and Adv Higher Chemistry exam, and got A1 in both year 1 chemistry exams in the University of Edinburgh.

I write my notes during class and refine them afterwards while practicing past-paper questions. They contain all the key lecture content and everything needed for the exam. When revising, I only need to review my notes and do past-paper questions, without going back to the textbooks or lecture slides. Hence, these notes are perfect if you are looking for a detailed summary and want to avoid constantly asking yourself, “Is this important for this course?”

I spent no more than four days revising each subject for the exams. I also believe that preparing during term time is better than cramming just before exams. I studied Advanced Higher Maths in S5, so I truly understand how difficult it is to face past-paper questions without a clear idea of how to approach them. I hope my notes can help you get through it :)

These notes are on the topic of Nuclear Chemistry.
