How should I prepare for my AP Chemistry Examination!!!!! (Someone Please Help Me)?

Hello, everyone. I am currently enrolled in AP Chemistry and am immensely worried about this AP Chemistry Exam in May. This is the first AP Class I've ever taken and I am so scared. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to descriptively tell me what they did to receive a 4 or 5 on the exam. I mean extensively tell me. If you can relate it to my 5 month time constraint, i will be very grateful. I have starting reviewing the Pearson prentice hall chemistry review book but i am still worried. Would someone mind making a list of EVERYTHING one has to memorize for the exam. I know this isn't Biology but I want to know. For example, I have no clue how to do net ionic equations in AP Chemistry. I know you have to memorize solubility rules but what else. I know you have to know that this group of metals reacts with this to form this and this but i was wondering if someone could provide a list for everything to memorize or know before doing net ionic equations. Also, for some reason i am more worried about the multiple choice part. Mostly because I can't find College Board's previously administered MC exams after the year 2000. My friends tell me it will be similar.



So, someone please help me with this exam. If someone could find the multiple choice parts of the exam from 2000-2008, i would be so grateful



Thanks to anyone who helps. Please assist me. I am so worriedHow should I prepare for my AP Chemistry Examination!!!!! (Someone Please Help Me)?
Do not use Pearson Prentice, seriously.



I highly recommend you to buy Princeton's Review's AP Chemistry, it includes everything that is on the Exam. If you have enough time get the Barron's too, but only if have time. DO NOT BUY IT OTHERWISE!



I recommend you to go on College Confidential, they usually have a lot of free sample AP Exams from the past, I actually do not know how these people get them.



Yes your friend is right, it is wise to memorize the solubility rules before anything. I do not think Organic Chemistry is stressed very hard on the AP Exam, especially on the Multiple Choice, I have actually never seen an Organic Chemistry Question the M/C part, I have however seen it occasionally on the Free-Response, but not so much.



On the Free-Response, and I can right now assure you they will put at least one equilibrium question on there, there is practically one of these type of question it every year.



I have the Textbook you mentioned (I got the new edition though, so it's blue), it does cover most of the topics, but it is not a very good book, it is too brief.



I would again, advise you to get the Princeton Review' Cracking the AP Chemistry Exam book, the edition does not matter that much since the Exam does not change over the year as much anyways.
