AP Chemistry--I'm insanely scared! :(

<p>So I need to get a 4 (preferably a 5) on the exam. I have the Princeton Review AP Chemistry 2011 prep book and I took the first practice test. I haven't started reviewing yet due to so many other things...but I plan on reviewing those little concepts that I'm forgetting (and work on my math skills) this entire week, hardcore. I scored a 45 raw on the practice test which equates to a 4 according to the new scale (barely). But even on the old scale I would still get a 4...</p>

<p>I also got around 3/5 - 2/3 of the free-response right...</p>

<p>My question is, am I safe for getting a 4 on the real thing. I'm so scared because I'm so close to the border of 3 and 4. D: Relative to the real thing, how much easier/difficult is Princeton Review's practice test?</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>I’m in the exact same boat as you. I need a 4 and chem is my least favorite subject. I’m going to be right there with you studying all week long. Hopefully we can pull it out.</p>

<p>same here. would u guys rec me to cram from pr or kaplan or barrons?</p>

<p>i bought all 3 books in january thinking i would ahve so much time to read but i have been really busy with SAT prep and other things.</p>

<p>@ChickenOnRice Since you’re short on time, I’d recommended the Princeton Review one. The Barron’s is really in depth. So, it’s for like over-preparation.
@Everyone else I know if you get at least 80% on MC and 50% FR you should be safe for a 5, but just do those old exams. Trust me, they help a lot. There is always equilibrium, electrolysis, kinetics. Try to review those, and make sure you can do those problems :)</p>
