<p>Our AP Chem instructor gave us 5 FRQs for us to solve in 35 minutes, and these questions all have "sub-questions" up to a~d. I am the best student in that AP Chem class and failed to finish 1 problem. Is this monstruous feat possible?</p>
<p>No. It’s not possible for a high school AP Chem student to do 5 FRQ in 35 min. On the AP exam, 55 minutes are given to finish the first part FRQ and 40 minutes are given to finish the second part.</p>
<p>However, it should take you less than 35 minutes to do ONE chem free response…</p>
<p>Yes it should take less than 35 min for one…</p>
<p>Sometimes AP teachers who are new to the program misunderstand when they read information about the exam. I had that happen in one of my classes. Just patiently explain to them how it works and they will see the error of their ways. If your teacher isn’t new to AP though, that should be a little shocking.</p>
<p>ninmage621//pphhaahahahahahahaha nice… I loved that joke
byubound//no, actually she has been teaching AP Chem for a long time (I believe she has taught for about 7 years?) I think she is trying to over-prep and uberkill us so that the REAL AP Chem exam would be a piece of cake…?</p>
<p>Speaking of AP Chem…
our teacher has told us not to use prepbooks in our preparation for sitting the exam. Can anyone confirm if this strategy works?</p>
<p>What do you mean sitting the exam?</p>
<p>^I think he means taking the real exam.</p>
<p>Yeah, just taking the exam. She said we only needed to practice taking the old AP tests, and not look at prep books. Is this true?</p>
<p>College board tests are always preferable to the prep book tests. But if you don’t have enough college board tests than taking the prep book tests couldn’t hurt.</p>
