I achieved an ATAR of 96% and tied for dux in my year 12 Chemistry class. The subject matter summary notes consolidated and enabled me to study for my final exam in just 3 DAYS!
I graduated in 2022 so these notes are up to date with units 3 & 4 of the Chemistry ATAR senior syllabus. The notes are a complete condensed 67 page summary and are also written congruent with each syllabus dot point. I spent multiple days organizing and rewriting these notes, making them easy to read, as well as creating summative diagrams to represent complex concepts.
