AP Chem

<p>Hey,
I am a sophomore in a competitive high school, and am taking honors chem (school doesn't let me take AP in sophomore year). I have an A in the class right now, and I'm thinking about self-studying the AP test. I've heard of other people in my class doing it, and was wondering if it was a good idea, and if I do decide to take it, what are some good prep books.</p>
