The PreAP Chemistry teachers at my school are giving us a released AP Chem exam for our final exam.
Are they allowed to do this? We will only be given the multiple choice questions, and our curve, according to our teachers, will be very high.
I feel like it isn’t right for us to be given this final because we haven’t covered chemistry as in depth as an AP Chem class would have.
Am I just being whiny? I don’t know what to do or what steps I need to be taking, or if I should even do anything about this. 
my chemistry honors teacher took a lot of AP chemistry questions mixed with chem honors questions for our final.
I don’t think it’s always right, but if you’re pre-AP you shouldn’t expect any less I guess. I do still agree that it’s not right in the fact you haven’t covered some of it, but if there’s a high curve I don’t think you’ll have to worry. study what you don’t understand already, you’ll have a good curve so no worries.
I’m not sure I’d go that far, but it’s the teacher’s classroom and therefore, the teacher’s rules.
Yes. At least you have advance warning. Good luck.
That’s somewhat unfair, but I guess it’s permitted. It’s like signing up for precalc but having to take the AP Calc AB exam. You’ll know a sliver of it, but definitely not enough to pass, considering AP students barely pass the tests. And it was unexpected, so I’d be ticked off.
Good luck. Maybe you can teach yourself all of AP Chemistry in a few days (sike).
Everyone only knew about 10-20 questions on the 60 question test. A lot of the test wasn’t covered in our class, like enthalpy and entropy and equilibrium… Overhead one of the chemistry teachers say that they were using the test as a weed out so they’d know what they didn’t need to cover for the future AP Chem students. I ended up “passing” but I don’t know how the curve is going to work, so I’ll likely end up losing the A I worked for, but I guess I should’ve worked harder the first time around.
Thank you everyone for responding. 
Are you sure you’ll lose the A? If they didn’t expect anyone to actually do well…the top students in the class should still be the top students, even if they “failed.”
I don’t think this situation is fair. Chumps can search for the exam(s) and “magically” kill the final’s curve. This would also inhibit the teacher’s understanding of the placement of the class as well. However, any teacher with common sense should be able to identify any outliers.
