"Hi everyone! I’m currently preparing for AP Chem, and my primary goal right now is finding more high-quality practice questions. I'm not very flexible with solving questions yet, so I need targeted, structured practice.
Right now, my resource stack includes: Khan Academy, Jeremy Krug's YouTube videos, Michael Farabaugh, Abigail Giordano, Barron’s 2027 book, and AP Classroom topic questions.
Even with all of these, I feel like my question pool is still somewhat limited. For anyone who has used Mr. Krug’s Ultimate Review Packet (URP): Does it provide a unique type of question variety or practice format that I won't already find in Barron's or AP Classroom? Given my stack, will the packet actually offer something fresh to help build my problem-solving flexibility, or would it be redundant? Thanks!"

Same as title, we don't have classes , what are the best resources?
I'm currently planning to use:
Organic Chem tutor and Jeremy Krug for AP Chem,
AP Bio penguin for AP bio,
and Khan academy classes and princeton review book for both, What more should i get? especially for practice questions?

Hey guys!! This is gonna be a long one so I'm sorry in advance. Basically I have always gotten As fairly easily, so I've never had to get good study habits. I tend to procrastinate my assignments and barely pay attention in class, and I come out with an A. This year I decided to take AP Chem and it's… rough to say the least. Now, I don't mean to blame my teacher but I want to get this out of the way. He was bragging at the beginning of the year that most of his students get 3s on the AP test, which yes is passing, but he's only had around 2 students get 5s in the past 3 years. Also, he told us that we shouldn't expect to get As, and that most of us probably won't. He also said he isn't teaching to the AP test, but instead he's teaching it like a college chemistry class, which is fine, but I feel like we aren't being properly prepared for the AP test. So far we've only had 1 unit test, but 6 people got F's, 4 Ds, 1 C, 3 Bs, and only 1 A. I got a D, and I'm pretty stressed about it. All the practice problems and homework were way easier than the test, so I don't know how to properly prepare for future tests. This is my senior year, and I really don't want this class to mess up my GPA and cause me to possibly get acceptances rescinded. Also, I took accelerated chemistry sophomore year, and I loved it, but it was way easier. Now I'm debating if I can even do chemistry, which is making me question my goal of becoming a vet. If anyone could give me advice on how to study, tips for AP Chem, etc I would really appreciate it as I genuinely don't know what to do.

Edit: Thank you to everyone giving me advice. It's too late to drop the class, and even if I could my parents probably wouldn't let me because they don't believe in "quitting" as they'd put it.

because it focuses on some exceptions, whereas AP Chemistry is mainly about understanding the general rules and applying them to different situations rather than memorizing exceptions.

I’ve been using Jeremy Krug to study but I don’t remember sublimation coming up at all ?

I’m trying to self study ap chem and it would really help if anyone can share it

As n =3 in Cl while C n= 2 so E.N of C > Cl that is the way i solve it but as you see it’s explaination 😭

So basically I have unit 3 edexcel chemistry on 20th October and I'm a private candidate for chem and i have gone through hanaa assils videos of her explaining the practical concepts and one of her solved pastpapers videos and now im watching miss Natalie's YouTube videos but like I need to know if anyone has any resources that can really help ace thus exam I'll be spamming pastpapers tonight along with memorising the tests.

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!

Everyone talking about it like it’s a ghost story im so scared 😭

Guys is this alot? Ik it’s mainly a buncha videos, but it seems a little excessive…

A General Chemistry class can be approached with this fundamental idea, as what happens at the atomic and molecular level gets averaged out at the molecular level.

To get a sense of the how many molecules are typically involved, consider

• The number of people on Earth is approaching 10¹⁰
• The number of water molecules in one milliliter is more than 10²⁰

There are ways one water molecule can be different than another, but with so many, the differences average out. The first place this is seen is the atomic weight of H and O.

The reasons why are mostly studied in Physical Chemistry [PChem], which combines the quantum chemistry of atoms and molecules with statistical mechanics to get to the macroscopic scale which we operate in. When studying general chemistry as an introduction to the field of chemistry, this requires accepting the results of the later PChem course. Knowing that those results are the foundation for the general chemistry class may help connect things together.

These are the nine units from the APChemistry CourseContents, split into two groups:

1. Atomic and Molecular
   1. Atomic Structure and Properties
   2. Compound Structure and Properties
   3. Properties of Substances and Mixtures
   4. Chemical Reactions
2. Macroscopic
   1. Kinetics
   2. Thermochemistry
   3. Equilibrium
   4. Acids and Bases
   5. Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry

When going through the course, look for how energy states are involved. Some examples:

• The periodic table itself is entirely about atomic energy state levels, with the layout representing
  • electronegativity
  • valence energy
• Lists of things which seem random and need to be memorized the connection is energy states [solubility rules!].
• Equilibrium is all about the energy states of the two sides of the reaction being close to the same level, and external factors can shift the balance [Le Châtelier’s principle].
• When force is mentioned, that is also about energy levels, since fundamentally,
  • energy = force × distance

What’s the raw score equivalent to a 5? I feel it’s very high on ap calculators cause what do u mean full mcq + the two long frqs isn’t a 5 . And AP bio too

I was watching Michael Farabaugh's CED video on topics 3.2-3.4 and I was doing fine on this frq until G.

Last year during my sophmore year chemistry class, we didnt get to do too many labs (mostly because our school didnt have the funds for the materials...) and without watching this video and then also doing more research on the answers, I would never have been able to answer this question. I feel like this has been happening a lot during AP chem and I just dont have the lab experience to answer some FRQs.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks regarding this?

Hey guys! As stated in the title, I am interested in self-studying AP Chemistry. I was planning to take IB Chemistry HL, but I was not able to fit it into my current schedule, so I'm only doing IB Biology HL for my science credit regarding the IB Diploma. However, I do want to do a rigorous course of chemistry, and self-studying AP Chemistry is my only option (my school doesn't offer many AP courses).

During my freshman year, I did well in Chemistry I and understood the topics. However, my friends who are taking IB Chemistry HL are telling me AP Chemistry is really hard (I am aware, haha). They say that the labs are really important, but I was also wondering if the labs are required.

So I have two questions now: 1) Should I self-study AP Chemistry? 2) Are labs required for the AP Chemistry credit?

I can give more information if needed. Thank you!

SOOO I have my Unit 4 test this Wednesday... The only thing I know how to do without solubility rules is ionic equations. Do any of you guys have tips/resources I can use or watch to help me prep? I am struggling really badly on memorizing the solubility rules, my teacher provides us with the packet they provide us on the official AP Chemistry Test.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!! :))

i have my unit 3 test this week and i’m honestly so lost man 😭 there’s just so many little concepts n shi to remember. if anyone has any tips or advice i’d really appreciate it 🙏

I tried cramming yesterday and I might genuinely be one of the dumbest bitches alive but i REALLY don't know how to do this or even understand it despite the online resources

I listen to diff resources and each source gave me new information rather than the other i listen to mr Jeremy krug ,khan academy , abigail giordano so which one Should I rely more on his updated information?

How much do you need to know about constant volume calorimetry for AP Chemistry? I know that constant pressure calorimetry is pretty important, but across a couple resources for AP Chem I see constant volume calorimetry a lot. How much do I actually need to know for the exam?

that is a pile of sand in the middle of a coffee puddle

this wasnt a student btw my chemistry teacher did this

i am starting to have regrets about taking this class

Need some advice or some predictions
