Just before my A level exams last year I created a summary with all the chemistry equations and mechanisms that’s needed for the OCR specification. So, I thought, why not share it with you all to help you all revise and learn them very well. If you’re not doing OCR, many of these mechanisms may overlap with your specification, so you may be able to use this or you may want to consider creating your own version of this.
How to use it:
Green = reagents
Purple = conditions
Blue = type of reaction
All you have to do it pick a reaction, try and see if you can list the reagents, conditions and reaction type (where appropriate) and zoom in to see the answers!
I got an A* in A-level Chemistry and spent an incredible amount of time creating detailed yet succinct notes. Want a copy of my notes? Head over here and get them now!
This chart makes all the reactions so much easier to understand! I’m almost done with my Organic Chemistry II class and wish that I had this to study!

Hi Masumah, your blogs are so helpful! I was wondering whether you could put up the OCR A Chemistry notes that you made like for biology? They are so useful! Thanks!

Hey, glad you’ve found them helpful! Yep, I did! Just head over to the link above. I’ve uploaded the Physical Chem set and will be putting Organic Chem and Practical Techniques up soon!

Hi Masumah, can I ask what you did for Chemistry revision? Was it practice questions that helped?

Hey. I focussed on trying to understand the topics from textbook and spend a lot of time learning all the mechanism and formulas. Practice questions definitely helped, I did all the past papers from the previous specification
