Thread: self studying AP chemistry- to be lazy or not to be lazy?

i started just the atomic structure stuff and it is easy yay

This site doesn't make it seem discontinued: AP: Computer Science A .

yeah, u could bring either scientific or graphing calculus. yeah, piggy got to work if this little piggy want a 5.

I think Computer Science AB was discontinued.

^ I believe you can. I have a close friend who was in AP Chem last year, and she, along with the rest of her class, brought calculators into the testing room.

Well, I've made the conscious decision to not start self-studying AP Chem or Physics C until February, perhaps March (and therefore, probably fail come May). Laziness ftw. (: No, but Chem really does seem rather conceptual. From what I've seen in PR so far, it seems quite...manageable.

I am self-studying AP chem and it's definitely manageable, if not a joke. The conceptual facts are already mentioned in the introductory class i took my sophmore year. So pretty much, the info is just a review with some additional information and formulas. Get the Barron's AP Chemistry book. Very detailed.

Yes. Do it! Buy Barron's and Princeton Review. That should be sufficient, and you might want to borrow a book from your school. I wish I could just self study all my AP's. I would probably finish all seven of them by February. There is so much less stress.

"I think Computer Science AB was discontinued." Yes, this is the first year the AB test will not be given. (*cry* about the sad fact that high school students avoid taking technology classes). The AP Computer Science A exam will be a bit harder this year as they will move a few AB topics into the A exam (such as 2D Arrays). AP Computer Science Study Help

Many concepts in chemistry are interrelated so if you really do want to have a good grasp of chemistry, I suggest studying it closely. This is especially so if you want to venture into science fields in the future. But, as you mentioned, if you only want to get a 5, I don't think that would be too difficult but you never know.
