<p>Yea Chem IS difficult.
My teacher is one of the hardest teacher at my school…</p>
<p>I have both barrons and princeton review,
but the materials inside are way too superficial for his class.
So my suggestion is that you have to read the actual textbook instead of just prep books (we have this really old textbook from 1990 by James Brady).
Reading the text helps a lot for conceptual units (bonding, atomic theory…etc).
Explain everything to yourself or better yet a friend also taking the class after reading will help to stick the material in your brain.</p>
<p>I did poorly in the same teacher’s honors chem class (B-, B+) last year mainly because I only reviewed class notes but not the text.
I have a 94% now…</p>
