A-Level Chemistry Books by David Tan

I wrote these A-Level Chemistry books for my own JC classes before they were published by World Scientific. They reflect the same approach I use across Reviewston: clear explanations, structured practice and exam-style reasoning. Each book is designed to help students understand Chemistry more deeply and apply what they know with confidence.

A-Level Chemistry’s Best Kept Secrets!
What Top Students Know That You Don’t

Trusted since 2018 – used by students from RJC, HCI, NJC, VJC and other JCs to prepare for A-Level Chemistry.

An A-Level practice book that links Physical, Inorganic and Organic topics with graded, fully worked problems. The questions build core concepts and exam-style reasoning that haven’t changed with syllabus updates.

Teacher’s note: I use this book in my JC classes for mixed-topic drills and higher-order reasoning.

Who this book is for: If your child tends to lose marks from weak foundations or repeated “careless mistakes”, this book gives the kind of graded practice and explanation I use when coaching students through A-Level Chemistry.

Cracking A-Level Organic Chemistry Deductive Questions: Think Like a Detective!

Available now

81 organic deductive questions using chemical tests, observations, reactions and structure clues. Students learn how to propose, test and justify structures step by step.

Teacher’s note: I use the pre-release chapters with my JC1 classes because they train students to think through organic evidence carefully, instead of guessing functional groups from memory.

Who this book is for: If your child is strong in basic organic Chemistry but freezes at “mystery structure” questions, this book gives the kind of structured deductive practice I use to coach students through unfamiliar clues.
