Term 1 reflections

I feel that in Term 1, the term which we learnt on chemistry, the periodic table, ionic bonding and covalent bonding, i was still kind of blur on what to do, how to do, to ace the test, or the term. Therefore, i still stick with the very few basic, obvious steps for studying in a secondary school like listening in class, handing in homework and some revision before the test. But due to the fact that secondary 2 is tougher than secondary 1, i was constantly falling asleep in class and did not really memorize all those hard-to-remember all those annoying elements in the periodic table. I was lucky that both my parents took chemistry as their main subject in university, so they went ahead to correct my when they realised that the elements were not in my head. Therefore, i went through a few days of grueling sessions just to remember almost 2/3 of the periodic table. It was worth it, though.
