With a strategical approach towards studying Chemistry would certainly bring good results, even though the subject is found hard and obscure by many students.

Although 12th standard chemistry is very tough, there is no chance of failing and definitely can get good marks if the subject is studied cautiously selecting the appropriate topics.

Apart from being well versed with self-evaluation questions and problems, students should prepare in such a way that they are able to answer all the questions in the textbook.

Generally, students are alarmed of equations when talking of the subject-Chemistry. In order to bail out the fear of chemistry as well as to make the subject less complicated for students, the correction procedures in the government exams have been slightly changed. It is possible to do well in any topic by simply understanding and studying the lessons.

As per the blueprint of public exams, 76 mark questions are from Inorganic Chemistry, 76 mark questions are from Physical Chemistry and 81 mark questions are from Organic Chemistry with a total of 233 mark questions. From Part-I Chemistry minimum of 95 to 100 mark questions are asked, Part II Chemistry consists of 115 to 120 mark questions.

If a student wants a just pass with 35%, it is enough to study every one-mark question from all the chapters, and three and five mark questions from 2,34,7,8,11 chapters.

It is enough for a student to thoroughly study all the one-mark questions from every chapter, and three and five mark questions from 2,3,4,6,9,10,13,16,19 chapters to get 100 marks.

Studying all the one-mark questions from every single chapter, and three and five mark questions of 1,2,3, 4,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,18,19 chapters is enough to obtain 150 marks.

As per your capacity, if you schedule and study the three and five mark questions of the selected chapters it is possible to get good marks.

It is possible to get good marks, if students meticulously study the following important portions when preparing for public exams.

In the Inorganic section, students should be thorough with Atomic structure, Periodic Properties, F& Block elements, Co-ordination Chemistry and Nuclear Chemistry.

Solid state, Thermodynamics, Chemical Equilibrium, Surface Chemistry, Electro Chemistry I & II in Physical Chemistry section.

In the Organic Chemistry section, study thoroughly Ethers, Bio-Molecules and Chemistry in action.

All that a student has to be sure of is the basics. If not strong in the basics of chemistry, it would look like Greek and Latin.

If studied with proper planning, it is possible to score good marks.
