Openning Hints

When studying for multiple choice make sure you zero in on questions that would have choices. For example; writing Boyle's Law has no choices but selecting a Boyle's Law formula from a list would. Formula weights and simple mole:gram conversions could be multiple choice.
Best way to study for multiple choice is to make up your own; such as which of the following atoms or ions has the largest radius; which atom has the greatest electronegativity etc.

Short answer questions will be done in the space provided. Again, try to make up your own questions.
Charts to be filled in: ask yourself "what type of questions would be answered in a chart?" Most obvious is NOMENCLATURE.

Extend response requires that you apply chemical theory and principles to explain an observed phenomena. Try to think of such phenomena; such as the colours of the hydrogen spectrum, how a barometer works, why a refrigerator works, why a titration works etc.

The lab question(s). Check out ALL the labs you did. The section will not be a lab you did directly but one based or follows exactly one that you DID do.
Most labs we did involved measurements and calculations. A lab such as flame tests is just a little too simple for the full 20 marks. A good example would be a titration lab or an ion separation activity, where you must know the apparatus used, chemical needed and why do the lab in the first place.

Exam Hints

A better way to say this is "You Better Know the Following" 'cause if you don't .....

Know all of this stuff and you should do really really well.

This final exam is for you to practice on and see if you know everything you should.
Please note that this so called exam would be rather longer than any real exam you would be given. My purpose is to hit every type of question you would see.
An answer page will eventually be provided. Multiple choice answer key at the bottom.
