ahhh so much memorizing.
school starts this wed for me so id better get started.
but thanks to my procrastination, i havent even done all my summer hw yet lol. hopefully im not the only one like this.

also, this has been nagging me for a while but for people who have done really well in chem, HOW did you study it? Like is chemistry a memorizing thing. Somebody told me AP Bio was also allll memorization stuff.

and some people here mentioned that I need to “understand” the concepts but there doesnt seem to be a lot of stuff to “understand” so far. like i MEMORIZED the nomenclature, solubility rules, dimensional analysis stuff to find # of moles (stoichiometry), etc. but what exactly is there to understand?
i keep reading the chapters but i dont know HOW i should go about studying it so that I dont get all behind in the future with more advanced stoichiometry, etc.
