<p>I have a big test on thursday which includes 5 chapters. I know if I read the 5 chapters it will take me for ever to finish them (my book is Chemistry - The Central Science). Im scared that I will spend for ever reading and will not be able to have so much time to do practice questions. There are a 2 chapters which I understand absolutely nothing about and for the other 3 i understand about 60 - 70 %;therefore, it will take me even longer to study.</p>
<p>How would you study? Are there study guides in the internet that could help by summarizing or which explain really well?</p>
<p>Also I was looking for past papers in collegeboard and I do not undestand what is the difference between Form B and the normal one. They seem to be completely different exams. Could anybody please explain this to me?</p>
<p>Unbelievable OP. I have a massive AP Chem test on Thursday too on chapters 5-9 in Zumdahl's Book. To make matters worse, a comprehensive final (1-9) is coming up 5 days after that test. Let no sleep begin...</p>
<p>@Crashingwaves: Ehhh, problem solving in chem is always to reinforce the concepts. I found that for me, sample problems in the text were enough since the subject as a whole comes easy to me, but it always varies from person to person. If the stuff doesnt suit you then you should probably do a lot of exercises. However, there comes a point when you're just wasting your time doing mindless work. Find that threshold and you should be good to go.</p>
<p>how is AP chem compared to the basic chem class you took earlier in HS? does it still go over some basic stuff? or does it assume a lot of prior knowledge?</p>
<p>It does not assume a lot of prior knowledge plus this is my third year doing chemistry. A lot of the things are knew for me though. I think the best for me will be to do a lot of practice questions!</p>
<p>Thank you for the help but does any body know wat form b ap exams are?</p>
<p>I took honors chemistry sophomore year and AP junior year. I felt prepared for AP since I had the same teacher for both and she really taught her honors class as a sort of "pre-ap" course. In my school, taking the honors class is a prerequisite to AP and most kids go on to AP the next year. </p>
<p>AP really expanded on a lot of the topics learned in honors. A really solid understanding of basic chemistry is very important to success in AP because there just isn't time to figure out the basics along the way.</p>
<p>But AP chem was amazing. I loved it and wish there was an AP Chem II or "B/C."</p>
<p>^Lol, that's what Organic Chemistry was made for. Speaking of which...it's the best class I have ever taken. The difficulty is overrated IMO, then again this is coming from someone who wants to get to the IChO...lol</p>
<p>Most people will take the AP chem exam on the same day at roughly the same time. But if you can't, there is a makeup date with a different version of the test - that's Form B. For example, AP Environmental Science and AP Chem are on the same day at the same time. If you need take both, you would have to schedule the Form B makeup test for one of them.</p>
<p>quickly skim over your notes and the chapters in your book, noting the most important parts and write an outline including equations.
if there is anything on the outline that you really do not understand, google it and you are very likely to find something that will be very helpful.
i can also answer any questions. i'm in college chemistry right now and have done very well (high 90s and 80s), so just message me. i tutor a few people on my floor and in my class.</p>
