<p>Hi. I am currently a junior and will be taking the AP Chemistry exam in May. My chemistry teacher has not been working out of the text book, and I'm a tad worried that this will hurt me when testing time comes. There's only about 2 months left, but does anyone think that I can still pull off a 5? I have a decent grasp of basic to intermediate level concepts, and I recieved around a 3 when we took a practice test last week. If I do have a shot, what should I be doing to study?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Do you ever do problems from the textbook or is it like never? I know that my ap chem teacher had his own notes which he lectured from and only used the textbook to assign a couple problems each night. My teacher would just give us a lot of problem modeled off of ap style problems. </p>
<p>For the MC, it would be the best to study out of an AP review book . I recommend Princeton Review because Barron’s is just overkill and is useless. For the written, go on college board and print the written sections and practice with those.
If you keep practicing and reviewing, you should be able to get the 5. </p>
<p>PM me if you need any chem help. I still remember a lot from 2 years ago when I took it. =]</p>
<p>There are 2 released chem exams you can use for practice on ap central and you can order 2 more from collegeboard.</p>
<p>Also check out Khan Academy for the chem videos; i havent watched them but the videos help me immensely for ap calc and ap physics</p>
<p>@Horusofoz: We’ve worked out of the book like… twice haha. But thanks for the tips. I’ll probably be drilling myself a bunch like you said!</p>
<p>@Cortana43: Oh I actually didn’t know that there were 2 free mc exams, thanks! And I checked out the khan academy videos before, and they’re a really good way to learn introductory concepts.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help guys!</p>
