I've put together a streamlined version of AP Chem Exam review materials that contains only the most helpful items. Pace yourself as much as possible by completing 1-2 sections each week. For example, try starting by completing everything listed under Units 1 and 2.
I recommend going through the review sheets first. This will help you to familiarize yourself with the topics again.
The most helpful thing you can do to prep for the AP exam is try old exam questions. They will seem very challenging at first, but over time, you'll get used to them and start to feel comfortable. TRY ALL THE LISTED FRQ'S WITHIN EACH SECTION. Check the answer key after you've attempted it yourself. Repeat until they are all done. Be prepared for the questions to contain a range of topics - this is what makes them seem so challenging at first. For example, the FRQ'S I listed under Unit 1 contain some atomic structure themed parts, but will mix in other topics (stoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium, thermo) as well. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR AND WHY YOU NEED TO TRY AS MANY AS POSSIBLE!

Tips specific to AP Chem. Referring to an "atom" as a "molecule" will force you to lose credit, even if the rest of the answer is completely correct. Don't make these simple errors by reviewing this page!
