<p>I want to take AP Chemistry at my school but it is required to have had a least regular or honors chemistry, which I have not taken because there is only one good teacher at my school for Chem. I am contemplating whether taking a chemistry class at the local community college, but it is only a six week class. Will it be to stressful due to the little time to learn all of the material? Any advice?( I am currently a junior)</p>
<p>Hmm… Does your school have something called “testing out?” At my school, you’re allowed to borrow a textbook during June to learn the material of just about any non-AP subject and then take a test during July on it. If you get at least an 80% on that test after having a month of summer to study for the subject, then you get credit for that subject. If it’s a science course, then you have to do a lab and get an 80% on it as well. That’s what I did for Biology as a freshman and Chemistry last year. To me, this option is the easiest, but if this option isn’t available to you, I would suggest either taking Chemistry at your local college or taking Chemistry online. </p>
<p>I don’t think that taking college-level Chemistry in a six-week course would be too stressful or too difficult for you. It’ll be the only class you’ll have to study for (I’m assuming) unlike during the school year.</p>
<p>A final option would be to take Chemistry online. With most virtual schools you would be given the entire summer to complete the course and would be able to do the lessons at your own pace, which are two nice advantages.</p>
<p>So, yeah… That’s all I know. Hope I helped. (:</p>
