<p>Do I have to memorize all the chemical equations for the AP exam?</p>
<p>For Free Response, no you don’t. They give you an equation sheet, which you can find online. For Multiple Choice however, you do NOT receive an equation sheet. So I would memorize the important formulas…don’t waste your time with little insignificant ones like the root mean squared formula. I doubt it will be on the multiple choice, and even if it is, it will be no more than 1 question. Hope that answers your question</p>
<p>Oh sorry, I think i misunderstood your question. If you’re referrng to the equations on part B of the free response, then memorizing helps. But it doesn’t count that much so I wouldn’t memorize every equation in the world. Rather, it’s better to learn general rules for reactions, ie double replacement, combustions, etc.</p>
<p>You receive an equation sheet for the second part of the test. So I recommend memorizing quite a few of them.</p>
