AP Chemistry vs Community College Chem 1A

@NotForEveryone

Additionally, AP Chem is more difficult than CC Chem 1, since it covers what most colleges consider Chem 1 & Chem 2.

However, AP chemistry is commonly a year long course. In this case, it would not be covering material at a faster pace than a semester long CC Chemistry 1A course. Presumably, a student who finishes the CC Chemistry 1A course in the fall can take the CC Chemistry 1B course in the spring.
