<p>So I am taking only 3 AP exams this year (public school). They are Chem, Clac, and Lang. Chem is my main priority as I have been studying for Calc and Lang is more than two weeks away. </p>
<p>Because of my school's trimester system I have not had Chem for more than 2 months now! When I was in the class though I had an A and I did well on the practice problems. My final was actually a condensed practice exam and I got a raw 90%. I have done some studying reading through my Princeton review book and doing a few problems, but lately I have been to lazy/busy and have not study for about three weeks.</p>
<p>Now I only have a week to study for it! What are your tips if you already took it. What should I focus on?</p>
<p>I've already blocked almost every website I go on (expect this one, school, mail, and wikipedia) through an awesome app named "selfcontrol" for a week to stop procrastination.</p>
<p>My advice is to do plenty of practice exams and get down to working! If you finish the Princeton review, start to research the topics in your textbook. You could also use the MIT opencourseware lectures, but they are sometimes too advanced for AP Chem. Don’t stress too much, AP chem isn’t too bad.</p>
<p>I started studying off of the REA Chemistry Crash Course, and I really like it so far… Maybe you want to try it?</p>
<p>Other than that, practice exams over and over!</p>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
<p>Do you guys know if they subtract .25 for wrong answers? The princeton review book says in the intro section that it doesn’t but then says in the practice exam that it does. I know they changed it recently for some other tests so I am wondering if the penalty is now also gone for Chem.</p>
<p>When is your book from? When is the practice exam from? As far as I know they took out the penalty about a year ago.</p>
<p>The book is from 2012 and the exam is in the back of the book (no date). Maybe PR forgot to change it? I have found a few minor mistakes in the books so it wouldn’t surprise me.</p>
<p>If they took an old exam, that is the reason why. There is no guessing penalty, but you’re best asking your teacher/contacting college board.</p>
<p>There’s no penalty now for wrong answers.</p>
