Official AP Chemistry Thread (2014-2015)

Does anyone know if there is a break in the middle of the test? Or is that determined by the proctor?

I’m trying to calculate how long the test will be so I know if I’ll miss PE that day or not.

I think there is a ten minute break.

Equation-writing can still appear as a FRQ, right?

Correct.

Ok, thanks.

Can you use calculators on the first part?

Sorry for the double post, but does anybody know how hard Princeton Review tests are compared to the actual AP exam? If you also could tell me… What about AP Physics C Mechanics actual vs Princeton Review O_o? Thanks!

@Newdle No calculators on the multiple choice, only on the free-response.

How close are the 5 steps to a 5 exams to the actual exams in terms of difficulty?

@NParker not that difficult, but the FRQs are spot on

Does anyone have links to good practice tests? I’m really nervous for Monday.

I am so scared for this exam :-S

My teacher administered a practice exam for us this past weekend and I got a 2. I’d really like it if all of my hard work did not go to waste… Any last few days studying tips? I know it’s too late to actually learn material (I never understood it in the first place), so should I just make sure I know the basics of everything? Will that get me a 3? I really don’t want to fail–not just because I want college credit, but because my teacher deserves all 5s. He is a great teacher and great person.

I feel bad for you, but I would just try your best and focus on doing really well on the MC portion and doing everything you know in the FR section.

Yea just make sure you answer the questions you know, and don’t leave anything blank

Anyone know what percentages we need for a 4/5? I just got 47/75 on a practice mc

The AP chem exam is in 3 days and my teacher has done absolutely NOTHING to prepare us for this.
Does anyone have any last minute review suggestions?
I read through the entire Princeton Reviews preparation book and I’m about to take the practice tests in the back.
Can someone tell me how close these tests are to the actual one??

I feel SO unprepared. Desperate for help. THANKS!

Took last year’s FRQ, did surprisingly well. Got 36/46 points. How does that translate?

How well do we need to know the AP’s labs? Is knowledge of basic procedures good enough?

@Newdle i would go over the equipment used and calculations associated with experiments to be safe
