How to Get an A In Chemistry | Study Tips, Advice, Resources | Gen Chem, Orgo, Biochem

Let's chat COLLEGE CHEMISTRY! I'm talking about how I studied to get As in all my chemistry courses from General Chemistry 1 through Biochemistry. Chemistry classes are HARD, I wanted to be open and honest about the struggles and advice that helped me get through them.

This was perfect thank you going into gen chem 2 next semester. I really realized I was studying passively.

[Emily-kmsd]

I almost changed my major cause of chemistry but thats quitting ugh i have more chemistry ahead of me thank you. Was so hard because I've never had a chem. class before college.

This is great advice!! I am 26 and going back to college this fall to start a chem degree. Being smart is one thing, but really putting in the time and effort to study and practice is what gets you the high grades. I have two months till classes start so I am getting prepared early. <3

I just failed my general chemistry 1, and am retaking it, and will be using these tips throughout my next semester. Thank you ❤❤

I haven't taken a chem class since middle school and I am 25 now. Trying to figure out how to best prepare myself for this semester. Did good in anatomy and bio. Now chemistry

Hi Kyeisha! Thank you so much for making this video! Thanks to your video, I had the courage to start taking Chemistry to begin my pre-med journey. With all of the negative rhetoric surrounding taking chem in college (that gave me SO much anxiety), you have no idea how much I needed to see a fellow young black woman like me encouraging me to know that it is possible for me to not just “survive” but even get an A in ALL the chemistry sequences, and by the grace of Almighty God I did!!!🥳🎊 It isn’t so bad after all! I love chemistry so much and through my prayer life, the Lord helped me study for my courses in a better way that helped me perform so well. Thank you for being such a light Kyeisha, God bless you in all your endeavors love!💕🕊️🙏🏾👏🏾

im so glad I found this video! im a freshman at UMD and this semester I'll be taking orgo 1. im so anxious about it bc this is my first college chem course and ive heard so many horror stories about orgo!!

[taddie]

Awww I’m a pre-vet at UMD. Thanks for this video. Love seeing black queens in science !

[austindukes]

Chemistry Isn’t hard because its hard…its hard because its here is a shitload of information that gets dumped on you by professors that are too smart for their own good and cannot teach it at all…

[destinyzroom]

Wow I’m studying a science major with a French minor too!! Enchantée!! ♥️💐💐💐

[simone]

You’re literally sooo stunning. This video is great I just got my schedule for my freshman year term and I have 3 science classes (I’m a biology major) I’m really nervous cause one of them as you can guess is Chemistry and I’ve never took chemistry before! I’ve heard it’s hard so I’m nervous but this video definitely eased my nerves a bit💕💕 new sub here!

Hello Kyeisha! I just subscribed to you today and hope to follow in your shoes becoming a Youtuber, model, and a Vet Technician/Veterinarian. Man let me tell you, I got a C in Chemistry 305 last year in the fall and currently taking Chemistry 400 General Chemistry and currently have an F in it. I feel so down today and just want to change my major. I know I can't think like that and can become whatever I want. It's hard work yes. I just want to succeed in life even get great grades in everything as taking a Computer Science class. I just feel everyone is smarter than me in Chemistry and I'm just the one falling behind. Also I'm very happy I'm subscribed to you and look forward to be part of your YouTube journey. 🤗🌻

[trulynaya]

I’m so happy I found your page! I’ll be taking chem one this upcoming semester 🙃

[ambriaashley]

[devorahaugustin]

[kaitlynlowery]

I actually am enjoying chemistry, as I goofed around in highschool I hated it but I actually enjoy it now even though I am still struggling with some bits. It is hard for me to find time to study for my class though because I have a 7 month old daughter who always keeps me on my feet haha.

This was an amazing video. Thank you sooo much!!!
