<p>The following questions are about AP Calculus AB, AP Computer Science A, and AP Chemistry.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry - What else do I need besides using the Zumdahl 6th edition along with a prep book (have not decided which one yet) for me to receive a 5 on the AP Chemistry Exam? I am self-studying this course. Are there other things I need to memorize beside the following items: Polyatomic Ions (including name, symbol and charge), Variable Valences for Transition Metals, Rules for Naming Acids, Rules for Naming Ionic Compounds, Solubility Rules, and Determining Oxidation Numbers? </p>
<p>By the way, AP Chemistry is offer at my high school. However, the teacher is new and my guidance councilors refused to let me take 7 AP courses thinking it's an overload for me as I am a senior. Therefore I decided to self study. Will colleges frown upon my decision? I currently have 6 classes instead of 7 at the high school. My 7th class is at a nearby community college.</p>
<p>AP Calculus and AP Computer Science A - Is there a guide out that teaches beginners how to read Java? Is there also a prep book that teaches calculus? I am currently using Calculus Graphical, Numerical, and Algebraic by Finney Demana Waits Kennedy 3rd Edition. I am terribly confused in these classes. </p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
