VCE Chemistry Practice

Solve real chemistry mysteries. Explore molecules, build electrochemical cells, decode spectra, and master organic synthesis — all in one place.

Not Just Practice. Chemistry Understood.

Three ways we make chemistry click — at the macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic level.

The Lab Bench

Every problem feels like a real experiment. See the scenario, the molecular view, and the challenge — all at once. Chemistry in three dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why only 130 skills instead of hundreds?

Quality over quantity. Each skill has 3 adaptive difficulty levels with 15-25 curated questions per level, giving 5,000+ unique problems. Every question uses real chemical data, real-world scenarios, and step-by-step solutions that teach the thinking process. 130 deep skills beats 500 shallow ones.

Which units should I start with?

If you're in Year 12, start with Units 3 and 4 — they contribute 100% of your ATAR study score (25% Unit 3 SAC + 25% Unit 4 SAC + 50% exam). If you're in Year 11, Units 1 and 2 build the foundations you'll need later.

Is this aligned with the current VCAA Study Design?

Every skill maps directly to a key knowledge point in the VCAA Chemistry Study Design 2023–2027. We match the Data Book constants, follow IUPAC conventions, and use VCE-standard notation throughout.

What makes this different from textbook questions?

Every question opens with a real-world scenario — forensic chemistry, sports science, battery technology, medicine. Solutions don't just show the answer; they explain WHY each step works, flag common traps, and connect abstract chemistry to what you can actually observe.

What is Spectroscopy Detective mode?

Our signature Unit 4 feature. You receive mass spectrometry, IR, and NMR data one piece at a time and progressively narrow down the mystery molecule's structure. It's exactly how real chemists work, and it's the most engaging way to master the most exam-critical skill in VCE Chemistry.
