HSC Chemistry Revision Workshops – Year 12

Workshop 1 – Module 5 Equilibrium and Acid Reactions

Develop a comprehensive understanding of dynamic equilibrium and quantitative acid-base concepts in this intensive HSC Chemistry revision workshop. Designed for Year 12 students aiming to achieve top band results, this workshop provides thorough coverage of the core components of Module 5, including Le Chatelier’s principle, reaction quotients and Ksp solubility calculations. Moving beyond foundational theory, students will engage in step-by-step analysis of challenging examination-style questions, with particular emphasis on complex, multi-step calculations that commonly present difficulties. Students will develop clear and systematic methodologies for constructing chemical equations, interpreting quantitative data and formulating precise, well-structured qualitative responses under examination conditions. This workshop is designed to identify and address knowledge gaps, strengthen conceptual understanding, refine students’ analytical and problem-solving approaches, and develop the confidence and skills required to perform at a high level in their final HSC Chemistry examinations.

Workshop 2 – Module 6 Acid/Base Reactions

Develop a comprehensive understanding of the challenging concepts within Module 6 through this targeted HSC Chemistry holiday revision workshop. This session provides an extensive review of Brønsted Lowry theory, pH and pOH calculations, strong versus weak acid equilibria, and buffer systems. A primary focus is placed on the detailed analysis of complex, difficult examination questions, particularly those involving multi-stage titration calculations, pH curves and indicator selection. Students will be guided through systematic approaches to these challenging concepts, demonstrating how to structure precise and well-developed extended responses, avoid common calculation errors, and apply appropriate technical vocabulary effectively under timed examination conditions. Students will consolidate their conceptual understanding, strengthen their quantitative and problem-solving skills, and refine their ability to apply chemical principles accurately across a range of examination contexts. The workshop is designed to equip students with the knowledge, confidence and examination-ready precision required to approach their HSC Chemistry examinations at a high level.

• Venue: PLC Sydney Skypath Building, T.G.01
• Date: 6 October 2026
• Time: 1.00-4.00 pm
• Cost:
  • $105 per workshop

Workshop 3 – Module 7 Organic Chemistry

Develop a comprehensive understanding of reaction pathways, structures and mechanisms in this specialised Year 12 Organic Chemistry intensive. Module 7 encompasses a substantial body of content, and this structured revision workshop provides a systematic approach to consolidating key concepts, including hydrocarbons, functional groups, alcohols, organic acids, esters and polymers. Particular emphasis is placed on deconstructing challenging, multi-part examination questions that require students to map multi-step synthesis pathways and accurately predict reaction products. Students will learn effective memory strategies for recalling reaction conditions, techniques for producing precise structural representations, and clear frameworks for constructing well-developed extended written responses. Through the analysis of past examination patterns and Band 6 sample responses, students will refine their understanding of examination expectations while developing the speed, clarity and analytical skills required to approach complex organic chemistry questions with confidence and maximise marks in the HSC Chemistry examination.

Workshop 4 – Module 8 Applying Chemical Ideas

Develop a comprehensive understanding of chemical analysis and qualitative monitoring in this intensive Module 8 HSC Chemistry revision workshop. Designed for high-achieving HSC Chemistry students, this workshop provides thorough coverage of qualitative inorganic analysis, flame tests, precipitation reactions and advanced spectroscopic techniques, including infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. A significant focus is placed on solving complex synthesis and analytical questions that require students to integrate multiple spectroscopic datasets to identify unknown organic compounds. Students will develop systematic methods of chemical deduction, clear and accurate mathematical workflows, and a strong understanding of marking rubric criteria to maximise marks on challenging analytical questions. Through targeted practice and structured analytical techniques, students will consolidate their knowledge, refine their problem-solving and interpretative skills, and develop a comprehensive command of the chemical analysis techniques required to gain a competitive advantage in the HSC Chemistry examination.
