How is Ap Chem?
I did a basic scheduling (not completely decided) yesterday.
I'm going to be a senior... Our school does not have a lot of AP course varieties, so it's pretty limited.
I am planning to take:
AP Lit, AP Human Geo, H-Precalc AB, Econ/Gov/Health/Gym, H-Spanish 5 (college credit other than AP )
some elective if I have some space left.
I was pretty good at Honors Chemistry last year but my teacher didn't recommend me for
AP Chem because my math wasn't pretty stellar. But since I'm pretty good at Algebra 2 now...
Is AP Chem really hard? When it gets to logic part (theories, rules and stuff), I'm pretty good at Chemistry,
I just am not really good at practical usage. Otherwise I'm pretty good, I scored a top percentile in the finals and stuff at school last year.
But I'm just worried about math part of Chemistry, is AP Chemistry really hard?

my ap teacher sucked balls. we had to teach ourselves. Sometimes other students or her T.A. would teach the class.
It's pretty rough, some units will be a lot tougher than others.
If your school allows you to drop a class after a certain point, take AP Chem and see how you do on the first test. The first test will be stoichiometry and it will be a joke compared to any of the later tests.
If you get anything below a B I would drop.
[quote=xElevatex]AP Chem at my high school was a pain, but only because the teacher taught really well and was strict. Her AP test score average was like a 4.3, and after the AP exam we just watched movies and played smash brothers! [/quote]
You played smash in school? Real...
I heard it's fairly easy at my school.
Took AP Chem with a teacher who was a Physics major.
I got a 1, but I'm still majoring in Chemistry now.
Everything's easy if you do your work, study, ask for help, and dong loaf it
It really depends on your teacher. The math part isn't hard for AP Chemistry.
There's a lot of concepts like titration, redox, etc, and you do a lot of stochiometry.
If Honors Chemistry is the explanation of how "ideal" Chemistry works, then AP Chemistry is the bunches of exceptions to the rule.
I aced through pre-ap chem (basically took a nap in each class)
However my friends have told me that ap chem is a lot harder than pre-ap, it depends on you
