May 6 is the big day. Are you ready?
If all you've ever wanted was an academic subject that allows you to say "noble gases" with a straight face, look no further. Shmoop's guide to AP Chemistry has all the elements you need to dilute your exam anxiety and compound your chem knowledge this year. Bam.
Specifically designed for mastering the AP Chemistry exam. Learn about the plum pudding model, the most delicious model in science; pull a MacGyver with only a graduated cylinder, a bottle of deionized water, and a hot plate; and sing a song to learn about solubility rules...although we can’t guarantee it will make you any friends.
Curious about what it is really like to answer 75 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes and answer 6 free response problems in another 95? Take a full-length practice exam with Shmoop... and then take another three. Because we have four.
If you forget everything you read approximately three seconds after you read it, never fear: refine your mad chemistry skills with drills, more drills, and—you guessed it—even more drills.
Check out our in-depth study guide and practice problems galore on each of the topics.
