Chem AP Self Study

Test Preparation AP Sciences

<p>Does anyone have any information/prior experience with doing this? I know it's kind of late, but I absolutely have to self study this test (not offered, school has given me a block to study it, I need it for SAT2s and so forth) and do well. </p>

<p>I have Chemistry: The Central Science by Brown and Lemay and also the PR 2010 edition for AP Chem.</p>

<p>I've been doing a ton of googling/CC searching, and most people take the actual class, so PR works out, but other people who self study say that PR glosses over stuff and is insufficient.</p>

<p>Any advice, please? I'm desperate...the textbook I have isn't AP edition, meaning I'm basically taking notes on EVERYTHING, and I'm using a school's assignments for the same book, but they cover every single chapter and I'm just panicking/am terrified that I won't cover everything in time. </p>

<p>For labwork, I have a kit which is basically AP chem for homeschoolers, since I was going to do ChemAdvantage, but my school refused to grant me credit, so I had to leave it. </p>

<p>I'm desperate, any advice at all will be very very much appreciated! :)</p>

<p>Good luck! I would try Princeton Review, or getting an actual chemistry textbook. Watch KhanAcademy videos as well! There are plenty of free resources online!</p>

<p>Buy the Zumdahl book on amazon AP Chem. I highly would recomend against this but if you MUST then get Zumdahls all the teachers i know use it. get barrons for in depth review and PR for condensed. good luck!</p>

<p>I definitely agree with rfav32 on the Zumdahls. That was the textbook used to teach AP chem at my school and I know that UPenn recommends incoming freshmen use it to study for chem placements exams. It was a good textbook with explanations that were easy to understand. </p>

<p>I usually think Barron’s is overkill as a review book, but for your case it would be much better than PR.</p>

<p>Feel free to PM me if you need any chem help and I’ll try and help!</p>

What Zumdahl’s Book is good for review ( only 2 months left ) ?
My school also use The Central Science by Brown and Lemay and also the PR 2010 edition for AP Chem.</p>

If you already have the concepts down and know everything, a textbook is going to overkill for reviewing. A Princeton Review review book would be fine for practicing.
On the other hand, if you want in depth knowledge/learning, this book [here](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Chemistry-Steven-S-Zumdahl/dp/0618221565/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331665933&sr=8-1”>http://www.amazon.com/Chemistry-Steven-S-Zumdahl/dp/0618221565/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331665933&sr=8-1&lt;/a&gt;) would be the best book.</p>
