<p>My life of Biology is almost over. Next semester I'm taking Honors Chemistry. The reason I'm a little shaky on this is because when I took AB Physics my freshman year chemistry was our last unit. My physics teacher said that physics is kind of like chemistry. I was struggling in that class. I hated doing conversions, I couldn't find the right numbers to plug in for equations etc. The only thing I did right was in the Trigonometry unit. I'm really interested in chemistry, I don't want to screw this up. So I want to prepare. I don't know where to start. So I need your help. What should I do? Thanks

<p>Well, Chemistry isn’t completely math orientated. It definitely involves understanding of concepts and a strong ability to develop intuition, which is not as necessary in ordinary Physics classes.</p>
<p>And depending on your class, since the AP definitely requries this, you need to learn some thermodynamics and even expand that knowledge with the workings of chemicals.</p>
<p>ESPECIALLY If you felt that you didn’t do too hot in Physics, you should go for Chemistry. This will give you a chance to relate on a few concepts you learned in physics and understand your world a bit more. It might also be a bit more lab orientated than Physics, depending on your teachers, which more likely than not will help you.</p>
<p>Practice. Practice. Practice.</p>
<p>Get a good textbook, read through the first few chapters, and do some of the problems. You might want to use the one your school uses, for example.</p>
