<p>I dropped ap chem in order to alleviate some stress… since i am taking</p>

<p>ap physics c
calc bc
ap bio
ap chem (dropped)
ap micro econ/macro econ
english 12</p>

<p>its senior year and i wanted a break.</p>

<p>its not that i couldnt keeep up with the work. i really have about an average of 7 hours of homework a day.</p>

<p>i never paid attention to the lectures in ap chem, read the chapter the night be4 and still got an A for the semester as well as an A in every other class.</p>

<p>I dropped the class since it seemed pointless to waste an hour in a class that seems so easy that i can read the chapter the night be4 and ace the tests.</p>

<p>i have old ap tests and 2 ap chem prep books. was it a good idea for me to drop and study the rest of the semester by myself. it was mostly the homework sets that were annoying me</p>

<p>i am only aiming for a 4</p>

<p>Sounds like you have an easy AP Chem class - this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll do extremely well on the exam.</p>

<p>i wouldn’t say it is that easy. the class average is like an 80% i think. He gave us half of an AP exam along with a midterm just recently. I scored a 90 on the AP part. and I heard that you need a 60-70% to get a 5.</p>

<p>The actual class doesn’t really matter. What matters is what you score on the ap exam. In the end if you got an F in the class but got a 5 on the exam then the 5 is what goes. Likewise, if you get an A in the class but a 1 on the exam then that A will do nothing for you as far as college credit goes (which is the most important thing).</p>

<p>Actually, you may need the labs for chemistry…</p>

<p>I think you will be all right , as long as you KEEP reading. Though it may be awkward you can ask your former teacher about the labs.</p>

<p>If you thought that you couldn’t handle it, then you made the right decision!</p>
