the chemistry cheat

that isn't really a cheat.

my teacher started rattling on about what we're going to be tested on. and it took us until he was halfway through section 1 to realize that he was reading straight off the exam paper. which then prompted the entire class to be deathly silent and transcribe his words... word for word.

for those of you who have less... agreeable teachers. here you are.

don't bother reading it if you're not sitting the year 11 chemistry exam this friday. it'll bore you shitless.

Section 1: Multiple Choice (48 marks)
24 questions
atomic structure, formulae, balancing equations, simple mole calculations, structure bonding properties, gas laws, empirical/molecular formulae, electron configuration of atoms and ions, and the laws of Chemistry.

Section 2: Short Answer (50 marks)
10 questions
1) Equations and observations
2) Writing the name or formula of a substance given a description
3) Identifying reagents
4) Classifying substances
5) i forgot what he said so i didn't get number 5
6) Structure, Bonding, Properties of substances
7) Balancing equations
8) Gas Laws
9) Electron dot diagrams
10) Laboratory preparation of gases

Section 3: Calculations (42 marks)
5 questions
1) Gas laws
2) Problems involving equations
3) Equations based on industrial process [i.e. same as Q.2]
4) Empirical Formula
5) Problems involving equations

Section 4: Extended answer (10 marks)
one essay question
he refused to tell us. yeah, he told us all the questions in the paper, but he refused to tell us the last one.

and i say that this is a cheat, but isn't really a cheat because yes, we know what each question will be asking so we know what to cover. but it's pretty much everything we've learnt which means we have to study everything anyway which defeats the purpose of knowing what's coming out beforehand which just takes all the fun out of it.

but...

enjoy XD
