VI. Making Logical Deductions and Conclusions

1. Requires a lot of practice, a good and sound knowledge of chemistry of various substances and be familiar with the different types of tests
2. Always read carefully the practical as a whole and then each individual test bearing in mind the chemistry concepts or reactions behind each test. DO NOT follow instructions blindly and mechanically without any idea of the chemistry involved
3. Be familiar with the type of reagents and purpose of each test
4. Exercise analytical thinking, inquiry and problem solving approach to make relevant and logical deductions from the observations noted
5. In many cases, the examiner require the test number as evidence to your deduction. NO marks would be given if a wrong test or wrong observation is given to support a correct deduction or vice versa.
