<p>there was a thread about this but it was old so...</p>
<p>so yeah, is there any recommended book to use? I already have barrons sat ii chem and ap 5step to 5 chem book,</p>
<p>I did this as a freshman and got a 3 before later earning a 5 in my sophomore year. See if your honors teacher has AP materials such as released exams which could help you prepare for the test. The chemistry teacher at my school is notorious for her excellently developed course and dedication to her students so her honors class allowed me to master the first half of the chemistry curriculum with ease, but the free response is focused on the later topics including equilibrium and kinetics, so my brief coverage of those things with the princeton review the first time around hurt me.</p>
<p>I didn’t use a textbook because my teacher gave out her own notes, but you can’t go wrong with Chemistry by Zumdahl. Be sure to do plenty of practice problems when you can, especially with net ionic equations. Chemistry is one of the tougher tests because learning it takes a sinister mix of critical thinking and memorization. You could probably find out which prep book is the best from somewhere else on this board.</p>
<p>what chapters should i read on Zumdahl’s book?i dotn think my shcool use that…but ill see if theres a copy at library.
also…if anyone knows about General Chemistry by Hill Petrucci, what chapters should i read on that book?</p>
<p>Chances are, there’s probably a torrent of the entire textbook online. If you can’t find it, pm me and I can direct you to it.</p>
<p>I would look at the syllabus for both classes, then study the chapters that ChemH doesn’t cover that are on the AP test. It’s definitely possible to pass the exam without taking the class. My friend did it and got a 4, and is now self-studying to retake it and get a 5.</p>
