Covers all required content: No topic is missed — from bonding and kinetics to spectroscopy.

Promotes active recall: Encourages you to think about what you know rather than just re-read.

Organises your study: Breaks down big topics into manageable goals.

Tracks progress: Shows what you’ve mastered, what needs reviewing, and what you’ve yet to start.

Targets weak areas: Focus revision on your gaps rather than wasting time on what you already know.

Download or Create Your Checklist

• Use the official IB Chemistry Subject Guide or your teacher’s topic-specific checklist.

2. Initial Review (Once you have finished a topic)

• Go through the checklist and use a simple rating system:

  • 🟢 = Confident (Can explain it to someone else)

  • 🟡 = Unsure (Need to review/practice)

  • 🔴 = No clue (Haven’t learned or completely forgot)
    
    

3. Prioritise Your Study

• Start with 🔴 items first — these are your biggest learning opportunities.

• Mix in 🟡 topics for consolidation.

• Use 🟢 topics for spaced retrieval practice or peer teaching.

4. Revise Actively

For each item:

• Write a summary in your own words.

• Create flashcards or test questions.

• Practice related past paper questions.
  
  

5. Track Progress Weekly

• Reassess your checklist every 1–2 weeks.

• Update your colours as your understanding improves.

• Aim to turn 🔴 → 🟡 → 🟢 over time.
