<p>Thanks for that one as well. The more the better is a true statement for AP. Just looked this one over pretty quickly and it seems to be great.</p>
<p>So basically, all the formulas on the formula sheet don’t have to be memorized? Woooooooooooo :D</p>
<p>This is amazing. Now I just hope that I can learn it all and be able to do the problems efficiently in three/four months.</p>
<p>Thank god they don’t. I was literally like how do I keep track of all of these equations, and which one should I use 
But now all I got to do is practice each formula, not worry about memorizing them, and learn when to use them :)</p>
<p>My class used the same textbook you’re using for self study. Just thought I’d mention that we didn’t even touch on a large chunk in the middle of the textbook, because so little of AP tests it. Everything tested on the AP test is pretty much the first half of the textbook and a few of the last chapters, can’t remember them sorry this was two years ago.</p>
<p>Davelee, do you have any idea how I can find out which chapters are covered? Do you mind telling me what you received on the exam, what you thought of it, etc.?</p>
<p>Wasteofusername, are all the formulas that we will need during the exam on the sheet? Or are there some we are expected to memorize?</p>
<p>I just pulled out my textbook and it turns out that my memory has severely failed me…we only skipped a few chapters. Those being 19, 20, 21, and most of 22. I got a 5, but I really liked chemistry so it might not have been as hard for me as it was for others. The AP test is actually not that difficult, because it is very generously curved, 100/150 composite points is a 5. On practice tests I was consistently getting ~130/150 composite points.</p>
<p>So how many questions can one afford to miss and still make a five? I’m assuming there aren’t one hundred and fifty problems on the exam lol</p>
<p>Also, what’s a good source for accurate practice exams? Are there released exams online?</p>
<p>@WasteofUsername, how far along are you in your prep? Started Zumdahl this week :3</p>
<p>Do you guys think it’s feasible to do chem in three months?</p>
<p>I just looked through the AP Chem syllabus’s sample questions, and it seems that lab experience is pretty important. For those of you self studying (without a class), how are you getting lab experience? </p>
<p>I just realized I posted four times in a row.</p>
<p>Hey Guys! Also restudying AP Chem to ensure, that i knew my material :/. So going through Zumdahl 1-19 or 1-20. Organic Chem doesnt seem necessary.</p>
<p>Yeah, the labs are a huge part in the FRQ this time around, but essentially the labs just make things easier to understand. As along as you understand the concept conceptually and can apply it to what the FRQ is asking, through the lab, you should understand it.</p>
<p>So are they going to ask us to set up labs within the questions themselves? Or will we be required to know certain labs that they’ll reference? Will having a good conceptual base help with not doing the labs? I basically will watch a bunch of lab videos the week I finish Zumdahl.</p>
<p>How many lab based questions are there?</p>
<p>First of all, relax…</p>
<p>The lab questions will basically just see how well you know the real-world application of all the conceptual ideas. For example properly set up a procedure to test so and so or do so and so. That includes knowing what all of the materials do and the safety procedures etc etc.</p>
<p>Alright. Thanks! </p>
<p>Now to finish all of Zumdahl in three months…</p>
<p>Is the curve of the AP Chemistry test really so large that 100/150 is a 5??</p>
<p>Is it because the test is really hard?</p>
<p>Guys,I heard that AP Chem test is changing this year,do you know which part is changing exactly? Any specific information? I’m also self-studying it and I have no clue about the test or anything. </p>
<p>@Shirleyxxy: it’s becoming less memorization based and heading towards a more conceptual approach to chemistry. </p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt Okay…Thank you. 
Do you know if molecular orbitals are still covered on AP exam?</p>
<p>Orbitals- Yes, but not too much (You should learn them anyways)
Hybridization-No, but you should definitely learn about these anyways.</p>
