Five tips to prepare for the Selectivity Chemistry exam

Below, we give you 5 tips that will help you study the fundamental and most important aspects of the subject so that when you take the exam, whether in PAU format (formerly EvAU or EBAU) PCE UNEDasiss, university access for those over 25 years of age, access to higher-level training cycles or baccalaureate; you can be prepared to answer correctly and get a 10.

1. I advise you to make a “cheat sheet”. That is, to take out the concepts and formulas most used in the exercises; this way, when you are faced with a question, it will help you to be clear about what topic it corresponds to and what you have to apply in each case. Be careful, this cheat sheet is for practical study, not for taking to the exam 😀
2. Make good use of the tools they allow you to use: calculators. Since the use of scientific but non-programmable calculators is only allowed, it is important to know how to use this type of calculator, which can sometimes be of little use because of how simple they are; although it is not like that.
3. Practice a lot with exercises that you can find in textbooks or on internet pages. Right here you have at your disposal exercises separated by blocks, exam models and even solved and explained exams. The more you practice, the better you will understand the exercise statements.
4. As you do the topic exercises, justify everything you do. It is very important that you have the habit of explaining the answers because this way you will understand their development and acquire the ability to relate the data to give accurate conclusions.
5. Make a work plan that includes study and practice. And above all, don't stop using books when you do exercises. And don't give up, if it doesn't come out the first time, it will come out the second or third time, but it will come out.
