<p>I'm looking to self-study AP Chem. Any advise/details about -anything- I would love.</p>
<p>Specifically, textbook/review book to use?</p>
<p>Bumpity bump bump</p>
<p>That would be awesomely hard because there are so many little things in chem. that you have to learn...maybe you could go to a teacher to ask for help...while not actually tking the class?</p>
<p>lab experience, though definitely not essential, is very helpful...it will probably be hard to self-study. but if you are diligent, it should be no problem. you should definitely make contact with the ap chem teacher in your school, because unless you are completely brilliant (which you might be, so if you are sorry:)) you probably won't understand everything you read in a text/prep book right away. best of luck!</p>
<p>Things in chemistry are complicated. You definitely need someone to answer your questions and explain those complicated stuff. More importantly, how much you understand the material is not much related to your ability to do exercise problems, which are often applications of the theories in the textbooks. Be sure to work on a lot of exercise questions too.</p>
<p>i didnt self-study, and AP chem is difficult, but you should be fine if you read Chemistry by Zumdahl, it is the best textbook with a lot of examples. To supplement, you should use the Review book by ARCO or the newest Petersons (they are essentially the same, petersons just bought the arco chem book). PR is also a must. On top of all that, practice many many free response questions by joining AP central and getting in contact with either the AP chem teacher at your school or at another school.</p>
