Chemistry is the scientific study of the behavior and properties of matter. It covers the elements that make up the compounds. These compounds consist of atoms, molecules, and ions. Each molecule consists of a different structure, properties, etc. Matter is defined as anything that has volume and mass while the atom is the basic unit of chemistry. Chemistry encompasses not just theoretical but also consists of the derivational part, formulae, and differential equations. Chemistry has various branches such as atomic theory, periodicity, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, organic, etc.
The IB or International Baccalaureate program is a rigorous, academically challenging, and extensive program of education designed to prepare students from the age of 16 to 19. One such program is the Chemistry program at Ahmedabad. The chemistry tutors at IB Ahmedabad encourage students to be inquiring, knowledgeable, and evaluate different viewpoints. If you are passionate about chemistry and have enough drive then the IB academy will walk you through the entire process and prep you to tackle the subject paper-wise. All you need to do is introspect a little and gauge your level of understanding as it will help you determine where you lie.
Chemistry is an experimental science that combines academic and investigational skills. There are many other courses in chemistry such as medicine, environmental science, and biological science. It is very important to build up your knowledge from chemistry if you want to ace these courses as and chemistry is the prerequisite of all these courses.
The Chemistry IB Tutors at Ahmedabad help you with thinking, research, self-management, and communication. The syllabus is a set pattern that has been prevalent for many years. They will first make acquainted with the syllabus and then start the training as per the curriculum.
Structure
In these following sections we will explore the paper wise breakdown of the subject with two different levels of HL and SL. The IB Chemistry Tutors in Ahmedabad by the IB Ace Academy will teach you paper wise strategies for the same
| Paper Number | HL | SL |

- The mantra to ace the exam
Well, long story short, the mantra to ace the IB Chemistry exam is showing hard work and consistency throughout. It is a hard row to how, but with our expert faculty, 24*7 at your disposal, no feat is impossible to achieve.
You have to grind through the course. The best part about this entire training is that it is introduced to you by our IB tutors way before the school gives you paper-wise advice.
There are certain targeted areas in the curriculum where you need to focus more and walk the extra mile. The tutors help you determine these targeted areas. You just have to traverse the chalked-out path for preparation that will eventually pave the way for your success!
- Building a strong foundation of the main concepts
The IB Chemistry concept illustrates the following four main concepts:Aims and course description
Assessment model
Sample questions
Overview of the curriculum model
The main concepts have more weightage in the exam and need to be worked upon even more. The theory and practical work both hold high importance. A questionnaire should be prepared for the questions and concepts carrying more weight. The scientific study within a global context should be appreciated.
Learning one thing is different and implementing it is a different thing.
The IB Chemistry Tutors at Ahmedabad take timely assessments to gauge the performance of a student. They emphasize the, ‘Apply and Use’ principle.
- The breakdown of the syllabus and recommended hours of teaching
The core components of chemistry are Stoichiometric relationships, atomic structure, periodicity, chemical bonding, energetics, thermodynamics, thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, acids and bases, equilibrium, redox processes, and many other topics. The industry experts and faculty members have put in hours to design the road map for the training. With an eye for detail, they have calculated the exact hours of teaching. Each topic is fragmented into different amounts of hours. They follow a very systematic approach.
- The assessment model
The IB tutors are familiar with the paper pattern and train students on the same lines. Instead of studying the chapters individually, they make students focus on the previous year’s question papers. The education system follows a tailor-made approach when it comes to setting a question paper.
The tutors also help you formulate techniques and make you aware of the knack to solve certain questions. They have an idea about the degree of toughness. Time management is a critical approach that helps you face many hurdles.
The assessment model is very unique. The academy conducts weekly assessments. It also has a database completely dedicated to providing chemistry papers and giving out handwritten notes.
The management is so well-planned that it takes only two tuition sessions per week to cover the topics entirely. They make you practice so much that by the time the exam arrives, you are already equipped to face any question which comes in the paper.
There are several e-books and handbooks which offer high-quality IB syllabus. No matter which handbook you follow in the school, the latest editions can be only found in the IB database!
