AP Chem!!!

<p>Anyone have any worries, thoughts, questions? I haven't yet seen a thread for general discussion of the AP Chemistry exam, so here it is!</p>

<p>Lol I'm basically worried about the entire exam!</p>

<p>Well, the MC aren't too bad. Same with FR1, it can be prepared for. I'm sorty of nervous for the essays, and the "write the equation" ones.</p>

<p>what do you guys think? any tips?</p>

<p>what's the best way to study?</p>

<p>there is a ap chem study thread...its not active now....but will be more active probably this weekend</p>

<p>the ap chem study thread will be active after saturday (lots of people are takin SAT IIs).... i'll be back there after monday (AP Physics B)</p>

<p>we took a practice test and I got a 5.....</p>

<p>and practice = easier than real thing for me so far this year...... so go figure.</p>

<p>I've had 4s and 5s on the practice tests, but I had really high practice SAT scores and it didn't work out near as well so I'm skeptical on counting on those scores.</p>

<p>Godfather: what book did you use for your sat 2 chemistry?</p>

<p>I haven't taken that yet. Do you think it's easier or more difficult than the AP test, what's the word on that? I should take it soon probably.</p>

<p>AP test is no doubt MUCH harder than the SAT II. For SAT II chem I used PR and did very well (without taking AP Chem). I'm taking the AP chem test on Wednesday, but from what I've seen of practice tests and people, it really comes down to your aptitude for chemistry/math and applying the right formulas. For some people, it's extremely difficult, but for others it's not bad at all.</p>

<p>* AP test is no doubt MUCH harder than the SAT II *</p>

<p>you sure? Last year I took AP Physics and SAT 2 Physics.. thought the Sat 2's were much harder.. i mean obviously it could be different for chem but that's at least how i found the physics tests to be...</p>

<p>Gold Shadow: Do you remember how you did on the practice PR tests? The first two I got in the mid-700s, but the last one i got in the high 500s. Did you have that problem?</p>

<p>SAT2 physics definitely not harder than AP, i took the SAT2 without taking AP and got a 760</p>

<p>I took a practice chem SAT II - 780 scaled</p>

<p>practice Physics SAT II - 770 scaled (very generous curve on Physics)</p>

<p>practice USH SAT II- 660 (damn my lack of memorization in humanities)</p>

<p>hopefully I can bump up chem and physics up to 800....... and maybe USH over 700?</p>

<p>the MC is usually harder than FR, which is a piece of cake if you practice those of past years..it all works out to be similar each year..my two cents.</p>

<p>i hated chemistry...:( got a decent 4, though.</p>
