Assessment types
QCAA syllabus
Chemistry is assessed across four units over Years 11 and 12. Every tutoring session at Pythora is aligned directly to this syllabus.
Where students get stuck
Common struggles in Chemistry
Stoichiometry — multi-step mole calculations and limiting reagent problems
Equilibrium calculations — ICE tables and Ka/Kb/Ksp expressions
Electrochemistry — writing half-equations and calculating cell potentials
Organic chemistry — naming compounds and predicting reaction products
From our tutors
Exam and assessment tips
Show the full mole ratio pathway in stoichiometry questions — never skip steps
For equilibrium, write the Kc or Ka expression before substituting values
In organic synthesis, draw structural formulas clearly and label all functional group changes
When interpreting spectra, use process of elimination to rule out structures
What students gain
What to expect from tutoring
Understanding that goes beyond rote memorisation
