From reading your post, it’s obvious that other people in your class are cheating on these take home quizzes.

1. 91% is too high of an average. Especially for a freshman chemistry class. I don’t care if this is honors chemistry at Harvard. And I doubt you’re at Harvard.

2. You’re on the “honors system” which basically means everybody else in the class is copying off of someone because there’s nobody supervising.

3. You claim you’re doing everything honestly. I believe you because that’s the only way you could possibly fail.

Here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to take your test (I hope for your sake its not take home), and you are going to stress about it for the whole time. Then you’re going to get it back and yes you did do as bad as you thought you would. Except guess what? So did everyone else.
Stop wasting time with outlining your chapters. Just do problems. Do them 3 times or more if you’re not getting it. Everything seems harder than it is when you aren’t succeeding, but the truth is general chemistry isn’t that hard.
