The precise AQA wording examiners expect — not textbook summaries, but the exact phrasing that earns full marks.
Calculation methods broken into numbered steps you can follow like a recipe — Mr, percentage mass, moles, and more.
The specific mistakes that cost students marks highlighted in every topic — so you know exactly what to avoid.
Reaction profiles, energy level diagrams, and fully worked calculations with examiner notes explaining each step.
Each cheat sheet is a 4-page PDF that covers one AQA Chemistry topic from an examiner's point of view. Instead of just listing facts, they show you the precise definitions AQA expects, the common mistakes that lose marks ("Exam Traps"), and step-by-step methods for calculation questions. They're written by an experienced Chemistry tutor.
