First talk to the teacher perhaps tell her what's bothering you, if you and her cannot reach a solution talk to the head of Drama, if nothing is still resolved talk to the principal or ask your mum to talk to the principal. Don't give up your dream.
i think so the focus point is related precipitation, I believe we would be given a unknown powder and asked to find out what the precipitate is eg AgNO3
I don't know the dot the syllabus just says to to observe the solubility of salts using micro techniques, I don't know what dot point my teacher is referring.To the dot point of precipitation is more concerned with minor skill the ion testing is more year 12 like you said.
