    keep doing the exam questions. they're repetitive, the same stuff comes up a lot. know your formulas and experiments for both Phys and Chem.

    don't go into the exam banking on 3 certain questions for each section. you should have enough time to do at least 4 if not 5 in each section, the more questions you do the better.

    Can't say i know of one myself. Very few people take the subject, so there's not enough demand for a specific textbook. You'll find all the definitions and experiments in textbooks for pure Phys and Chem, if you feel your teachers notes arent up to scratch.

    Also, the answers given in the marking schemes will show you what you should be giving, very handy for the short questions

    Why do people choose the combined subject rather than either physics or chemistry?

    Can physchem be substituted for physics or chemistry as a matriculation requirement?

    As a science, yes. As Physics or Chemistry specifically, no. You wouldn't be allowed to do Theoretical Physics (Physics) or Pharmacy (Chemistry) in Trinity with PhysChem.

    When I did my leaving cert that was all that was offered in my school. There wasn't enough demand for either subject on it's own.

    Typically you won't find schools offering physics, chemistry and physchem, unless it's a big school that has enough to run all three classes.
