Self Study for Chem

<p>Hi I am wondering what you guys think. I have been taking an Online AP Chem course since Dec 20. I have been really working on it since Jan 1. I have no background in Chem this is my first Chem class. I have to take the AP Chem exam and I am not sure how to prep. How do you think I should prep for this I am beyond freaked. I am homeschooled so I have all the time in the world to study all suggestions are appreciated. </p>

<p>Thank You!</p>

<p>Why do you HAVE to take it? I would highly recommend against this, especially if you don’t have background in Chem. Everybody at my school hates AP Chem and there are only two A’s out of 40+ kids and it’s an advanced program. </p>

<p>But if you absolutely must take it, I would say the only way you can get a 5 is w/ a private tutor/teacher and lots of review. ( 5 Steps for a good condensed book and Barrons for more in-depth stuff).</p>

<p>I have a 93 in chem now and use an online tutor is there anything you reccomend i study?</p>

<p>That;s great! Well I can’t really say what you are capable of getting but the best method to check would be taking a diagnostic test and then curving the grade a little if you get at least half right, I say go for it. And study the sections you did most poorly on. Good luck!</p>

<p>Taking AP tests is good for home schooled students as it provides independent verification that the student actually learned a subject. However, I do agree with taking a practice test before taking the actual exam to ensure that you will actually do well.</p>

<p>definitely possible. go for it!</p>

<p>Oh dont worry i will be taking practice exams and stuff i was just wndering what tips you guys had for this exam.</p>
