<p>You definitely don’t need AP chem I took practice tests with only honors chem knowledge and scored in the area of 770 - 780.</p>
<p>You clearly don’t understand many of the critical and basic parts of chemistry, this isn’t your fault, it’s your teachers fault. After a year of honors chem you should be able to get more than 35/85 considering that more than half of the test is stoichiometry, equilibrium, and other basic chemistry topics. Before attempting to study advanced topics in order to get a high score study the basic topics until you understand them fully. Until you understand basic chemistry you will not score any better.</p>
