Tips for junior cert science exam next week

Go over your log book and know where all the useful formulae/units are, it's sooo helpful for physics!
Just keep doing exam papers really & make sure you can draw a graph and describe it there's always one, possibly on solubility or Hooke's law or some other things..

Everytime you get stuck on a question in the papers revise the whole section in your text book!

And make sure you know all the equations in chemistry (preparation of Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, titration, metal and acid, etc.)They always come up. Plus know the tests for oxygen (relights a glowing splint) Carbon dioxide (turns limewater milky) water (turns cobalt chloride paper from blue to pink) and hydrogen (burns with a popping noise).

Then go over big experiments like the photosynthesis one and preparing crystals, you'll be grand

Good Luck

Use revise wise and just keep reading over the key points, helps so much!

Thanks👍. I really would love to know what experiments are going to be on it but unfortunately that's not possible, It's just I know some very well and others not too well. but it will be fine. Thanks

Do you not get a logbook for the Junior Cert?

I am to sit the junior cert this week just like yourself! For science, I've a few tips.

My friend gave me this sheets; they were from some book and had all biology, chemistry and physics together, each chapter after the next. You may have got some from your teacher before? Extremely helpful! Anyhoo, what I do is go through each chapter, reading it, fishing out the key stuff. Then I go to my exam papers and do the questions right away. Since we're finished school until the exams, I correct them on examinations.ie. Doing this ensures you are answering it properly, however it also gives you knowledge on what they're actually looking for!

Go over your important experiments; preparation of oxygen, carbon dioxide etc.

On the day, if log tables aren't given, ask for one! Your allowed one, they're there, use them!

Don't be too stressed. Good luck in everything. Hope this helped

Thanks very much:) dreading English tomorrow haha.!
Best of luck in your exams!

Hello I'm also sitting the JC at the moment and I'm sorry if I'm a bit late but I thought I'd help out anyway (since science isn't until Thursday!)
Basically just do loads of questions in the exam papers, they always ask the same type of questions! Also look over the really long and important experiments eg photosynthesising plant etc. If there is something you know you're not good at (eg bonding for me) then look over that again and again!
Then just go for it, there's probably gonna be questions we won't know but it's only JC sure haha 😆😖

Exams this week!

I would say to study the "designated" experiments because at least 2 would come up.

Other than that, just read and read until your brain stops functioning and there's not much else you can do for science, only approximately 20% of the paper actually covers the course
