<p>I am gonna take AP chemistry as a sophomore next year and I am now preparing for it in the summer break. Well, I didn't take Honors Chemistry cause I had already learned chemistry back in my hometown(I am a transfer student). So can anyone give me some good lecture videos to watch in order to help get some specific concepts about AP chem???
I will really appreciate that...
P.S I have already find some on Youtube..But they all come in snatches without concrete ideas about the whole chem book.......</p>
<p>I tried looking for a whole course but I couldn’t find any. I suggest you look at the AP Chem syllabus and get a prep book like Princeton Review, and if you’re stuck on any topic, then look for help on that topic.</p>
<p>Is the title of the book “Princeton Review” or are there any other specific name for it, like Princeton Review for AP chem???I am wandering, because all I have seen are called Cracking For AP chemistry(Princeton Review)…
Thank you for your devote though ~~~</p>
<p>^Yeah, that’s the one. When people mention “PR”, “Princeton”, or “Princeton Review” books, it’s almost always the “Cracking the <exam name=”“>” book. :)</exam></p>
<p>Yep, energize is spot on. I was referring to the “Cracking the AP Chemistry Exam” by the Princeton Review. </p>
<p>When people say “Princeton” on here, they generally mean the university :P</p>
<p>Thank you so muchhhhh!!!</p>
<p>Also, get a 750+ on the satii while your at it.</p>
<p>Princeton Review was a great preparation for the exam.</p>
<p>Self-Studying AP Chemistry ? You’ll miss all lab. skills. Chemistry is a lab. science.</p>
<p>^ Read the first sentence.
I am going to take Ap Chem next year too! <em>high five</em> Prep books are good for reviewing (hence their purpose), but if you are shaky on certain concepts I would use a textbook. Currently, I am reviewing through Kotz 6th edition, but most are sufficient, just borrow one from the library or a friend. Good luck!</p>
<p>I have already bought one textbook from Amazon, but it is 7th edition…XD</p>
<p>khanacademy.org is pretty useful.</p>
<p>Well I know that website, but it only supply chemistry instead of AP chemistry//////
Thanks though…</p>
<p>I took Honors Chemistry(my school didn’t offer AP) and I took the AP Test I got a 4 but I thought it was a little hard. I had the Princeton Review Book for “AP Chemistry” its a very useful tool for self studying. It obviously helped me out.</p>
<p>Hi, Lauratwilight! Last year I was (almost) in the same situation you are in right now. I self-studied for the AP Chemistry test while taking Honors Chemistry as a sophomore. (My school doesn’t offer AP Chem.) Anyway, I mostly just used the Princeton Review book to supplement what I was learning in class with some more advanced concepts. My only complaint about the Princeton Review prep book is that it doesn’t give a description for each lab, so I was uncomfortable with that going into the test. Still, I got a 5…so this is definitely doable. Just study throughout the year and don’t cram too much. Also, really practice the descriptive chemistry section questions where you have to write chemical equations. Those questions were a bit difficult for me at first but once you get them down they’re easy points. Hmmm…what else…go to AP Central and practice as many free-response questions as you can. You don’t have to time yourself at first but as the test gets closer start doing that to get a feel for everything. I suppose that’s it! Best of luck!!! You can do it!!!</p>
<p>Awesome…Thanks a lot Carolinem94…</p>
