Trying to remember/re-learn/study this junk. Finals this week, need to remember for AP test.

🙁 this stuff sucks.
 
yeah theyre in spring. But finals are this week, and they're basically like an ap test for what we've learned. just no free response.
 
General Chem? HA. Try Organic Chemistry. I suffered for 2 semesters of that crap. I didn't leave the house for a whole year except to go to class or the fvcking library. Passed with a C. I was relieved.
 
Chemistry rules 😛

JUst learn the displacement reactions, which salts are insoluble, and nomenclature. You'll be golden.

It's really not that bad. Hell, I teach that crap. If I can do it, anyone can.
 
From my experience, finals were nothing like the AP exam. I thought I was super prepared based on my final for AP US History, then the exam came around that year with an essay question about the progress of women's rights and the cult of domesticity between the end of the revolutionary war and the beginning of the civil war. WTF?!

It really isn't; I found it easier then General Chem if you put enough time into it. Happiest and most fulfilling B- I've ever gotten.

Same at our school for history. I was the second best in my European history class, A- A+ ish the whole class, and got a 3 on the AP test.

Physics, I was fully prepared because I enjoyed taht class and got a 5.



And btw, I just want to get general chem over with while still in high school. I don't want to waste $$$$ for it in college and stuff.

I took the AP US exam that year. Man, I was pissed to see that DBQ. :|

Thanks for reminding me. I have a descriptive chemistry sheet thing I need to memorize (it has all that solubility/reactivity stuff).

BTW, what are displacement reactions?

LOL, I think I took that AP test. Our teacher thought it would be about the civil war and reconstruction and totally prepared for that. Boy was he off... Women's Rights in the Early 1900's... LOL

Displacement reactions (at least that's what my AP teacher taught us) are basically just reactions where salts trade ions.

On my AP test, the hard questions (essay questions) were about kinetics, pH (equilibria) and radioactivity.

Hmm...kinetics? You mean kinetic energy --> temperature & pressure stuff?

I need to go pickup a Princeton Review book.

Kinetics and equilibria won't be covered until second semester, I forgot. Kinetics is all about the rates of chemical reactions.

Good luck with the tests, you'll do fine.

ZOMGWTF QFT.

i was valedictorian of my class, racked up a million academic awards... wtf cares when you're in college? absolutely no one (not even me, heh)

you'll be fine, OP 🙂
