How much organic is on the AP Chemistry exam?

Test Preparation AP Sciences

<p>Organic chemistry is really the only thing that my AP Chem class didn't cover. My teacher, however, said that organic isn't really gone into too much detail on the exam (i.e. we only have to know, say, the formulas for ethers and such). How true is this....? :)</p>

<p>Thanks, and any info about the exam helps!</p>

<p>Like 1 to 2 questions. Not much.</p>

<p>The organic chem you need to know for it is also super easy though, so if you’re really concerned you could look over it, but it’s not absolutely necessary.</p>

3

<p>Essentially none. And what is on there is extremely easy.</p>

4

<p>Little to none, according to my teacher. The only organic chemistry that you might need to know, which would be unlikely, is the different functional groups (alcohol, ketone, ether, etc); organic would only produce 1 or 2 questions at most. </p>

<p>Don’t worry about it.</p>

5

<p>as said, 1-3 multiple choice questions and maybe part of a free response question, but still very unlikely.</p>

6

<p>It’s about 1 question or so. Free response may have more but nothing hard.</p>

7

<p>It was part of the free response this year.</p>

<p>lol.</p>

8

<p>It’s not worth studying organic past knowing the formulas for hexane, methane, etc.
Spend your time on the meat of the class</p>

9

<p>that awkward moment when your class doesn’t get to ochem at all</p>

<p>Two reasons to study Organic Chemistry:

  1. you will score several easy points on AP Chem
  2. you will benefit from O-Chem knowledge when you go to college</p>

<p>But it is indeed a tiny part of AP Chem exam.</p>
