<p>So I'm a sophomore student at TJHSST (ranked #1 public school) and they have a summer Chemistry credit but I earned my chemistry credit somewhere else (the credit wasn't even honors, so I learned way less than a typical school) because I wasn't enrolled at TJHSST as a freshman.</p>
<p>So I'm in AP Chemistry right now and we took a diagnostic test (average was low 80) but I got 64. Through test correction, I can bring it up to 41/50, versus ~45/50 [50 points isn't too much compared to other exams/labs) The contents are just gonna get harder, but from what I heard, AP Chem is just a review of HN Chem with just few more difficult contents. Should I stay in the class?? I know less than other students so I'm behind (I had less practice, they have more understanding, they learned few more units) If I try really hard, I feel I would only achieve a B or so at the end. Would that be better in an AP class vs A in Honors? My teacher for AP isn't that difficult compared to others. </p>
<p>Right now, lots of things are review contents so I can't really tell from now.</p>
<p>If I do stay, what prep book should I get? Barrons or PR (or others)?
Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>I'm also taking AP Bio and AP BC but I have those classes on different days than Chem (fortunately).</p>
<p>EDIT: If I drop, then I will go to HN Chemistry and take AP Chem next year. At TJ, we also next a post-AP for AP Chem (just 1 more level).</p>
