- Study plan until IB Exam Nov 2021:
- For now, topics 8-11 are still disastrous for me.
- I will use Kognity to clarify any uncertainties and solve Pearson WS.
- (This is the minimum requirement)
- I probably have a vague understanding, but I need to consolidate it by summarizing in notes or something.
- Then, I will focus on memorizing the details.
- Anki, which I received from (aka), seems to be versatile for this. I’m grateful for it.
- After that:
- Solve Pearson challenge problems.
- Solve Cambridge Textbook Problems.
- Solve Past Papers 1 and 2.
- However, I feel that understanding the concepts is a bigger issue than time allocation, especially for Chemistry.
- So maybe it’s not necessary to time myself solving past papers?
- Well, but as understanding deepens, I will be able to solve more questions, so time might become tight.
- It seems important to concentrate and work on these topics.
- Regardless of what I do, the goal is to fill in as many gaps as possible. So solving past papers might be killing two birds with one stone.
- Notation:
- v: Solved all, not checked yet.
- ~: Solved partially, not checked yet.
- For now, topics 8-11 are still disastrous for me.

- Online Period Notes:
- There are many past papers for P1 and P2 that I completed hastily.
- I struggle with the ones I completed hastily or left blank, so I want to cover those later.
↑ After G12IBMock
-
Guide:
-
First, I will solve the copied versions of Pearson for all subjects and clarify any uncertainties.
-
Then, I will do the Mock exams.
- I might also solve Pearson’s Challenge problems.
- Since I don’t have them with me, I might borrow the textbooks from school and use zala.

Chapter 8:
- I haven’t fully understood it yet, so it seems better to go through it again later.
- pH/pOH values are for when a substance dissociates into ions.
- The fact that pH+pOH=14 is because as pH increases, the equilibrium shifts to the left (the side where the substance doesn’t dissociate) due to Le Chatelier’s principle.
- Originally: A small amount of H2O is already dissociated, almost in equilibrium on the left side.
- When an acid is added and pH increases, the equilibrium shifts to the left and pOH decreases.
- For a strong acid, pH increases by the same amount as its concentration, for a weak acid, it increases slightly less.
