<p>i took this half blind sophmore year after a year of honors chem and managed a 720
after a year of ap chem i got an 800 in may
soo. i realized that the hardest topics are pretty much kinetics/acid base pH stuff and shapes. stoichiometry, properties, nuclear chem, all the rest is pretty much memorization
the best way to improve is to track down your hs’s ap chem teacher or your own honors one and learn that stuff because nothing in the review books will explain faster and clearer than an actual teacher or tutor.
dont stress on the math stuff. its only basic stoichiometry on it. and maybe pv=nrt and mv=mv. that basic stuff
work on the ttce questions cuz those can be tricky, and you just gotta know your laws/properties
oh and crash coursing in formation of compounds, descriptive chem stuff will be a major help too
and then review the lab stuff, sometimes random weird names of apparatus pop up</p>
