Question: Chemistry is one of my subject that I love. I do my revision, and I understand well but when it comes to exam, I find myself failing. How can you help me?

It’s great that you love Chemistry and revise well—that’s already a strong foundation. However, struggling in exams despite understanding the material may point to issues like exam anxiety, poor time management, or difficulty interpreting questions. To help, start practicing with past papers under timed conditions to get used to exam pressure and formats. Also, review your mistakes carefully to understand where you’re going wrong—whether it’s in applying concepts, missing keywords, or rushing through calculations. Lastly, consider discussing challenging topics with teachers or peers, and try explaining concepts aloud, which strengthens memory and comprehension.
