Course Materials & Notes
Here at Explorer Academy, we understand that O Level Chemistry can feel like a handful. That's precisely why we've crafted a selection of study resources to simplify your learning process. Our mission is straightforward - dispel the complexity and make complex topics easier to grasp. We're here to lend a hand, particularly to students who are finding it tough. Our collection includes the following:
Guidebooks
Our guidebooks are precisely what their names suggest - guides, sweeping across every topic on the O Level Biology syllabus and intentionally created to make learning systematic and engaging. Students can leverage these guidebooks to get the best results as they contain self-explanatory diagrams, real-world examples, and simple explanations of complex terms.
Cheat Sheets
Some students are fully prepared but may require dying minute revisions to refresh their memories. Our cheat sheets contain highlights of critical information, formulas, terms, keywords, and easy-to-digest concepts that embody more extensive theories but can help in easy revisions, especially in the nick of time.
Summary Notes
Summary notes repackage whole topics as simple bits or overviews, highlighting the most critical concepts and points for easier understanding. After learning and studying, students can rely on our O Level Biology summary notes to add finishing touches to existing knowledge as they prepare for O'Level exams.
Worksheets
Guidebooks are excellent, but worksheets complement their existence by helping students conduct practice sessions to enforce retention and better understanding. Our worksheets cut across diverse question types, ranging from multiple-choice to structured and free-response questions, helping students prepare for every upcoming assessment.
