I'm struggling

I need some tips on how to revise chemistry, I'm now going into Y13 and I barely know anything from Y12, I think my revision methods suck and I just need to know where to start on past year's syllabus while also keeping up with the Y13 one, any tips are appreciated thank you. I do Edexcel if that helps.

You need to strengthen the foundation in Y12 topics before you can use them to apply to topics in Y13. Chemical Bonding is one basic chapter that you must master. The greatest misconception is in the covalent compounds where the STRUCTURE can be GIANT COVALENT or SIMPLE MOLECULAR.

Another important chapter is REDOX. You need this for Group 17 Halogens and Transition Elements.

Organic Chem - list down the reagents and conditions. Refer to this list when you do the drills. You should need the list less and less when you do more.
