I am currently studying Veterinary Science at Liverpool University having studied AQA Biology, Chemistry and Edexcel Geography at A level. I achieved A*AA in my A levels so am sharing my revision notes to help others achieve top marks. I also received 4/4 of my offers to Vet schools in the UK so have shared my interview preparation tips to help anyone who is preparing for Veterinary interviews:)

This revision resource covers the WHOLE of section 3.2.5 (Reactions of ions in aqueous solution) from the AQA A level Chemistry specification. I’ve written out the full equations, state and colour changes for the elements the specifiation requires you to know AND a couple of extra elements that could potentially be asked about as appear in other parts of the specification (e.g. Chromium).
This resource is a must have as this part of the spec is simply “learn and churn” !! I spent a year working on these notes so that they are very specific and contain all the key facts:)
This revision resource covers the WHOLE of section Alkanes from the AQA A level Chemistry specification. The blue bullet points are copied directly from the AQA specification, with my own notes directly below each point to ensure that every aspect of the spec is covered.

Note- I haven’t included how to “use EƟ values to predict the direction of simple redox reactions” as I personally found this simple so didn’t require notes on it. Also I found it hard to describe using words with no images as to what I was doing!
