Ayushi taught 2 days ago
Ayushi and Hannah engaged in a chemistry lesson focused on calculating concentrations of solutions, including molarity and dilutions. They applied formulas such as M1V1 = M2V2 and weight by weight percentage to solve various problems. Hannah was assigned the remaining questions for practice, and they plan to continue with this topic before transitioning to gas laws in their next lesson.

Studying chemistry in Australia: Common questions answered
When do students start learning chemistry in Australia?
Chemistry is introduced in Years 7–10 as part of the general science curriculum. In Years 11 and 12, students can choose it as a standalone subject within their state’s senior secondary system. For example, NSW students take HSC Chemistry, Victorian students complete VCE Units 1–4, and Queensland students follow the QCE Chemistry ATAR course. Each pathway builds toward strong scientific and analytical thinking, often required for university STEM degrees.
Why is chemistry considered a challenging subject?
Chemistry blends conceptual theory with practical maths and application. Students are required to understand atomic structure, bonding, reactions, and organic chemistry, all while working with formulas, graphs, and data tables. Many learners struggle when the pace increases in senior years or when abstract topics like equilibrium or electrochemistry are introduced. It’s a subject that demands both understanding and practice, and that balance can be tricky for students to manage alone.
What are some effective ways to revise for chemistry exams?
Active revision works best. This includes writing and rewriting notes in your own words, drawing diagrams, solving problems without help, and completing past papers. Resources like Edrolo, STILE, and Checkpoints are commonly used by students in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and beyond. Some schools also provide online revision quizzes and flashcards. Group study or structured weekly review can help students stay on track throughout the term.
How is chemistry assessed in Year 12?
In most states, students sit final ATAR exams at the end of Year 12. These exams test content knowledge, application, data interpretation, and scientific communication. Some systems include internal assessments too, like depth studies (HSC), school-based SACs (VCE), or student experiments (QCE). All formats require students to apply theory in new contexts, not just memorise facts.
Is chemistry important for university pathways?
Yes. Chemistry is a prerequisite or assumed knowledge subject for many health and science degrees. Medicine, dentistry, nursing, biomedical science, pharmacy, and veterinary science programs at universities like Monash, UQ, UNSW, and the University of Sydney often expect students to have studied Year 12 chemistry. Even for courses without official prerequisites, chemistry gives students a head start in first-year content.
What can students do if they’re falling behind?
Start by speaking with your teacher, reviewing class notes, and identifying which topics feel unclear. Practice questions from recent exams can reveal gaps in understanding. Using textbooks, watching video lessons, or asking a classmate for help can also make a difference. For students who want extra structure or personalised guidance, tutoring is one way to revisit core concepts, improve problem-solving, and build exam technique.
