<p>Not sure what you’re already doing or what will/won’t help, but here’s what I do to keep my head above water in AP Chem, since I started class 2.5 weeks late and am still trying to catch up…</p>
<p>– Pick up a copy of Princeton Review’s Cracking the AP Chemistry Exam. It won’t really tell you much new, but it every once in a while will give you a nice nutshell perspective on some concept that you don’t quite get from the class.</p>
<p>– Always read the chapters in your textbook that correspond with what you’re going over. Make sure you understand them, and if there are any questions in the book that go along with them do as many of them as it takes to grasp the material.</p>
<p>– Use other classmates to your advantage. If you don’t get something, ask them about it.</p>
<p>– Use the internet. I don’t know how many times I’ve found something online that completely demystified something I didn’t understand from class. Yahoo! Answers can help too.</p>
<p>Probably all stuff you already knew/do, but really I can just advise using ALL of your resources. That’s the key to doing well in hard classes.</p>
