Dr. Tan's Exam Style

Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I'll help you determine where Dr. Tan sources her exam questions, what she emphasizes, and what she excludes from your textbook.

Dr. Tan's exam questions usually combine 2-5 or more concepts into 1 problem. Reverse problems are common where students must solve them backward. Not all questions are straightforward, and you need to translate "English" into "numbers or formulas."

Most CHEM 212 exams are designed for students to finish, or answer accurately, but usually not BOTH at the same time.

Exceptions-to-the-rule in chemistry and organic chemistry are frequently shown for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.

CHEM 212 Points Breakdown

My grading estimates are based on actual exam/final averages and curve cutoffs from the most recent semester she taught CHEM 212. This info is coming soon, or tutor with me today for faster access!

Coming soon.

Don’t Cram

Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.

Avoid Distractions

Silence your phone, videos, and tell family to stop bugging you to create a focused environment.

Keep Going

Re-do a problem 5 times - this helps cement your knowledge, and recall it under high pressure testing environment.
