[@nfmanso12]

Thank you for this video! What would you consider to be "easy points" on the exam? More of memorization concepts such as polyatomic ions, strong acids and bases, and VSEPR?

[@JeremyKrug]

For most of the FRQ, parts (a) and (b) of each question tend to be easier. Also, there are easier MCQ spread throughout the exam, but a lot of them are found at the very beginning of the exam. There's not really much memorization on the exam.

[@nfmanso12]

[@highaquatic3055]

to be honest, getting a 50% is free given you aren't absolutely failing the class. If you know your basics you're getting a 3. However getting an 80% is a different story and you should probably study even if you have an A

[@lmhaks]

Just out of curiosity what are your thoughts on the Princeton review book for AP Chem? Im currently using the one for 2023 and I’ve went through most of the units and taken two practice tests (both of which I scored around a 60%), but I’m curious to see what you think about it.

[@JeremyKrug]

Although I don't have the 2023 version, the Princeton review books seem to be pretty good. They have a "Premium" version which seems to do a pretty good job approximating the AP Exam on their practice tests.

[@lmhaks]

@@JeremyKrug thanks! In both my practice tests I’ve gotten around 60% so I’m glad to hear that it’s a good way to test myself! If the only difference is the calculator this year then I think it should still be fine.

[@maanavswaminathan4593]

Does anyone know where I can find where to learn how to program the equations into my graphing calculator?

[@JeremyKrug]

I can't help you there, but I'm sure someone else out there can!

[@blastro6957]

I really know the content but all year I have been keeping the full unrounded number in my graphing calculator and doing calculations with it until the end of the problem when I would do sig figs. Will that penalize me or should I be rounding to sig figs throughout the problem?

[@JeremyKrug]

In chemistry (especially critical lab analyses), we normally don't round until the end, so you should be fine waiting until the end to round. Great question!

[@yeetyeet1971]

Do you know if the graders take off points if let’s say the answer was 23.8 grams and your answer was 23.9 grams. Is that included in the tolerance?

[@JeremyKrug]

In chemistry, the last significant figure has a tolerance of plus or minus 1, so you should be okay in that situation. Good question!

[@oscarwhitehouse1882]

If you make an errror in the first part of a question like use a wrong unit, and then you use the same wrong unit in the next part, do you get marked off for both?

[@ambarcast7872]

yes, if you use for example joules in both but you needed to use kilojoules, you will get it incorrect. A tip is just to read what is asks you at the end and mark that.

[@charlottecushingham7149]

right - with incorrect, you would probably get both parts wrong. However, if you calculate an incorrect value in the first part but use that value correctly in the second part, you may still get some points.
