| self studying AP chemistry- to be lazy or not to be lazy?
How hard is it to self study AP chem and get a 5? I selfed AP Physics B last year and got a 5, so any comparisons?

if u can self-study ap physics b and get a 5, I'm pretty sure you can get a 5 on the AP Chem exam too. I haven't took ap physics exam, but I could say something about ap chem exam: mostly conceptual, so focus on that.

If you have a solid background in an introductory chemistry class, it is definately possible.

Based on what I know about your background, I should add that you need to definately self-study Physics C, Statistics, Calc BC, US History, US Gov't, AP Latin, AP German, and AP Computer Science. (Or else, you'll look like a slacker.)  | |

This site doesn't make it seem discontinued: AP: Computer Science A.

^ I believe you can. I have a close friend who was in AP Chem last year, and she, along with the rest of her class, brought calculators into the testing room.

Well, I've made the conscious decision to not start self-studying AP Chem or Physics C until February, perhaps March (and therefore, probably fail come May). Laziness ftw. (:
No, but Chem really does seem rather conceptual. From what I've seen in PR so far, it seems quite...manageable.

I am self-studying AP chem and it's definitely manageable, if not a joke. The conceptual facts are already mentioned in the introductory class i took my sophmore year. So pretty much, the info is just a review with some additional information and formulas. Get the Barron's AP Chemistry book. Very detailed.
