AP Chemistry Exam Review You will be receiving an FRQ group participation in-class grade for each day of the review – 4 (90min) class days of review are planned. –You will work on problems in your assigned FRQ groups. What you will need for this in-class review everyday: –A review book Make sure it has explanations to all the answers, especially the multiple choice. –Your organized notebook labeled by topic Vocab quizzes will also help you assess weak conceptual areas. Make sure you have the FRQ’s from every power point, they are better practice than the review book because they are old AP FRQ’s. –Reference sheets (use official AP ones so they are familiar) Periodic Table & Equation Sheets –Calculator (scientific or graphing with no QWERTY keyboard) The one you will use on the exam so you are comfortable with it. Only to be used on the FRQ section, Part A.

AP Exam Format Section I – Multiple Choice (50%) –75 questions, 90 minutes –No calculator, only Periodic Table may be used –No point deductions for incorrect answers, try to answer every question. Section II – Free Response Questions (50%) –6 total questions with the use of all Equation Sheets –Total time 95 minutes in 2 parts: Part A – Calculator may be used (3 questions – 20% each of section II score), 55 minutes –Question 1 will always be an equilibrium question. –Question 2 & 3 will be reaction topics: thermo, kinetics, electro and/or a quantitative lab based question (titration, molar volume of a gas, colligative properties, percent of water in a hydrate, etc.). Always with either gas laws, stoichiometry, or both. Part B – No Calculator (3 questions), 40 minutes –Question 4 will be 3 reaction prediction questions (10% of section II score) –Questions 5 & 6 (15% of section II score), conceptual (periodic trends, bonding, intermolecular forces, kinetic molecular theory or reaction topics named above) and/or qualitative lab based (only if a quantitative lab question is not asked in Part A).

Topics to Cover on Your Own The last two topics are really assessing your exposure to lab and basic chemistry knowledge – it really requires basic chemistry knowledge and memorization. Use your review book to review these topics and complete multiple choice questions: –Descriptive Chemistry Reaction Prediction is under this topic, use your review book or the AP Equation writing power point on my website to practice these. There is also a review sheet of descriptive colors on my website –Laboratory Use a review book to review lab equipment and standard lab calculations.
23
Preparing for the Exam: May 7 th @ 8am in the IB Building (don’t be late) Use the practice exam to be done in class right before the AP Exam to assess last minute areas you need to review. When practicing multiple choice questions make sure you understand why you get them wrong. Don’t just go over FRQ’s redo them until you get every part without looking at answers. Get a good nights sleep the night before. Eat breakfast so you can have energy and be alert. Bring things that comfort you (lucky pencil, gum, etc.) Bring your picture ID ( I will not be there to vouch for you), sharpened pencils, pens, and backup calculator or batteries. Remember, if our are taking AP Environmental (APE), you should have arranged a reschedule of the APE exam with Ms. Gentile.

Message from Mrs. Andre First, there is a pattern to the colors in this presentation, you should be able to decipher it - I know, I am a nerd (and proud of it!). Second, please try your best!!!! We have worked very hard to get to this point. You have to have the confidence that you have learned chemistry (something had to sink in since August ). The worst thing you can do is give up, DO NOT put your head down, I will find out and be very disappointed . Finally, no matter how you do I AM PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!! Taking college level chemistry in high school is not easy, you have challenged yourself and it will pay off in some way.
