About

Taking AP Chemistry in the Fall and worried about doing well? In this series I will help you to prepare for taking AP Chemistry. We will review basic chemistry topics and begin to cover some  of the AP Chemistry topics. Every week we will review some basic chemistry topics and look at how they connect to the AP material. We will do many practice problems as well as looking at past AP exam questions to begin to prepare for the AP Exam and to ensure that you do well in your class! 
The topics that we will review mainly cover Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 4 in the AP curriculum.
