IB Chemistry SL & HL
A step-by-step guide on how to ace IB Chemistry. Kickstart your path to acing chemistry and achieving your dream score
5.0This is how I achieved a top score in IB Chemistry
I'm not going to lie to you. Chemistry is tough. Really tough. It's so tough that the majority of students who sit the exam sit it with no hope at all. They've already given up.
The odds are stacked up against you at no fault of your own. You can pester your teacher. You can buy textbook after textbook and answer question after question. But in this subject, none of that guarantees success.
How do I know? I can tell you from experience.
I saw it in my own classroom happening to my friends, almost happening to me. The majority of students give up on chemistry halfway through the year.
In this subject there are obvious winners or losers, and you don't have to wait until results come out to tell. June, July, August; this is when students start to drop like flies - giving up on their hopes of succeeding in chemistry.
By the time we get to that stage in the year, it'll be too late. If you want to succeed, you must act now.
The system may not be in your favour. But the odds are.
You just need the correct strategies, resources and mentorship to guide you to the finish line. I can give you all of this.

Hi, my name is Muhammad! As any fellow IB student or graduate will tell you, you only truly understand the struggles of IB once you’ve gone through it. From managing all your different subjects and extracurriculars to still having a social life and enjoying your final years of high school, it can be very very challenging. But don’t worry, if you are feeling the stress creeping up to you, that is a very normal thing to happen. In my own experience, it was very helpful to learn from those who have gone through the challenges themselves which is part of my motivation to make this course; to help other students.
Taking difficult subjects such as HL Physics and Biology, I was forced to pick up concepts quickly and understand them in my own way as I didn’t have time to solely focus onChemistry. That is something I hope to express through this course, offering unique ways to look at difficult content and not shoehorning just one way to solve a problem. I believe I can help you maximise your studying time and hopefully give some insider knowledge into what type of content the IB likes to put in exams.
I’m currently in my first year at the Australian National University and am completing a Bachelor of Philosophy (PhB Science) with plans to go into medicine in the future! In my free time you’ll always catch me engaged with some sport or outdoor activity. That being said I love to cook and enjoy gaming as well.
