Having just joined the forum not too long ago,I realised that past year MCQs have given problems to students as unlike other components, the MCQs do not come with explanations.

I intend to try out a little project where I would go through selected MCQ (chemistry) papers on YouTube.

Why this project?
  • It is easier to explain certain concepts verbally rather than typing out on a forum.
  • Sometimes, after explaining a certain question to a student, another student would ask the same question some days later. The videos would hopefully cut down on our need to retype the same solutions repeatedly.
What papers would be covered?
  • For now, the priority is the A level chemistry papers, eventually I would try to cover the O levels chemistry (if there is a demand)
  • Usually papers from the more recent years would be covered first.
How can the videos help?
  • The videos are supposed to be viewed after you have attempted the questions. Due to time constraints, there will not be in-depth discussion of concepts in the videos.

  • If you do need more discussion on certain questions/concepts, do feed back to me ,either through the YouTube comments or message me through my XPC account.

Can the solutions be totally trusted?
  • Definitely not! Most of the times, the whole paper is done in one sitting, so I might not be totally coherent throughout.
  • There will always be a chance that I might make some mistakes. Do feed back to me again.
When would we know a new video is out?
  • The next post in this thread would contain the videos (and links) that are already uploaded. I would update it periodically.
  • At this point in time, I am quite occupied, the most I can aim for is one video per day till 10 June. Then it might be less frequent.
How long would I continue this project?
  • I would carry on this project until
    • I do not have the time nor energy anymore (possibly)
    • There is no demand for it. (likely so)
    • I have covered all papers (quite impossible)
Could I speak more loudly/clearer in the videos?
  • I'll try my best, but I am hesitant to give my neighbours a chemistry lecture in the middle of the night. :(

this is a great project..well done and thanks a lot !!!! :)

This is likely to be the final paper uploaded before your exams.

I will try to work on the rest of the papers (both A and O levels) for the next few months and upload them eventually.
But I must say its not likely to remain free access for the future batches.

I'll try to help out by answering questions in the chemistry doubts thread until Jun 10. After which you guys can enjoy a good break. (y)

Based on my interactions with students in the academic forums, I have compiled a set of 20 calculation questions (some sample shown below) from past year papers that they often require help with.

It is not surprising to find similar questions being repeated throughout the years, as such questions have been proven to differentiate between the better students and the rest.

It is therefore highly recommended for students to be very familiar with the selected questions.

Purchase of the PDF can be made using the link "20 Challenging MCQ calculations" in my signature.
