<p>I am planning on taking AP Chemistry next year as a sophomore and will be concurrently enrolled in Pre-Calc. Will I have the necessary math skills to be successful in AP Chem?</p>

<p>I’m taking precalc and AP chem right now so I can say that yes, you will have enough math skills</p>

<p>Do you need to be good at math or will you just have to memorize equations??</p>

<p>Its elementary Algebra skills. Nothing complicated or hard. Its figuring out what to do with the numbers that are presented that is the real problem.</p>

<p>You’re fine. The hard part is not the math.</p>

6

<p>It really is just algebra…I wouldn’t say elementary, but know your algebra. </p>

<p>

Ain’t that the truth.</p>

<p>Yeah, basic algebra at most. Definitely more math than Bio, but still less complex math than even Physics B.</p>

<p>Took pre-calc when I was doing AP. It’s really just basic algebra. You take logs and stuff, but don’t necessarily need to know how they work…</p>

<p>The hard part of AP chem, for me at least, was memorization.</p>

<p>@DHill AP Chemistry isn’t completely memorization, it’s more logical thinking and problem solving skills. Like stated above, the math isn’t hard it’s the concepts and how the equations ties in.</p>
