The IB Chemistry syllabus is notoriously demanding. By the time you reach the final stretch, you aren't just battling complex concepts; you're battling the sheer volume of content across both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL).

As a tutor, I see students constantly tripping up not because they don't understand the chemistry, but because they aren't using the precise wording the IB examiners demand, or they get lost halfway through a multi-step calculation. Generic textbooks are great for learning, but when it comes to effective IB Chemistry revision, you need materials that are laser-focused on the exam.

That's why I've put together the Complete IB Chemistry Revision Kit. Fully mapped to the 2023 syllabus, this is a comprehensive IB Chemistry exam toolkit designed to strip away the fluff and give you exactly what you need to score highly. For a limited time, I've discounted the entire bundle to just £1.00. Let's break down exactly what you get.

Nail the Mark Scheme. The IB mark scheme is incredibly strict. Knowing the concept isn't enough; you must use their specific phrasing. If you want to see how this looks in practice before grabbing the bundle, check out my free IB Chemistry revision notes. Teaching younger siblings? I also have a GCSE Revision Kit available.

Part 1: The 24 Unit Resources

The core of this pack targets the 6 main units of the syllabus (S1, S2, S3, R1, R2, R3). For every single unit, you get four dedicated PDFs:

  1. Key Definitions: Every specification definition in precise mark-scheme phrasing.
  2. Quick Review: Condensed summaries of all core content, perfect for last-minute cramming.
  3. Calculations: Step-by-step breakdowns presented as numbered recipes, not just raw formulas.
  4. Exam Questions: IB-format practice questions with detailed model answers and annotations.

Here is the exact unit breakdown:

Part 2: The 6-Piece Exam Toolkit

To supplement the unit notes, I've included six targeted tools to help you navigate the tricky nuances of the IB exam format.

  1. Calculation Method Cards: Quick-reference cards for every IB calculation (enthalpy, equilibrium, pH, electrochemistry, moles, gas laws). Numbered steps, not just formulas.
  2. Command Word Decoder: What do "define", "explain", "discuss", "evaluate", "deduce", and "suggest" actually mean? This shows you exactly how to structure your response for each.
  3. Data Booklet Decoder: The IB Data Booklet is your best friend, but only if you know how to use it. This guide shows you exactly where to find every table, constant, and formula.
  4. Equation & Formula Bible: Every equation in one place, organised by topic with clear notes on which ones are in the Data Booklet and which you must memorise.
  5. Key Definitions Glossary: A complete, alphabetical glossary for quick look-ups.
  6. RAG Topic Checklist: A red, amber, green traffic-light tracker covering every syllabus point so you can identify weak areas at a glance.

Level Up With Interactive Tools

Reading your IB Chemistry revision pack is step one; applying the knowledge is step two. I highly recommend pairing these PDFs with active practice.

Interactive Practice. When revising S1 (moles) or S3 (periodic trends), put down the paper and test your skills actively. Use my free Moles Calculator to check your working, or explore the Interactive Periodic Table to visualise trends. If you're struggling with equations, try The Balancing Act, the Atom Builder, or read my guide on balancing equations.
