<p>AP Chemistry is. HAAAAARD. I have taken ten AP tests so far and I would say it was the hardest of all. The exam kicked my butt. I felt like I didn’t know half of the free response. The MC section, which was apparently amazingly easy, I finished with a very bad feeling.</p>
<p>Yes, it is all application. You will have to memorize, but like all math/science courses, you will need to know how it works and interacts. Do not skip Chemistry 1 LOL</p>
<p>**But then again, I had a pretty crap teacher who chose to teach us Acids&Bases, Equilibrium, and something else that was really big (see I can’t even remember it) – all in the last three weeks. I really did love chemistry in pre-AP, when my teacher was absolutely brilliant, so maybe I have a very misconstrued impression of this course</p>
<p>P.S. Despite all my hatred, I got a five. I still think it’s a mistake. But then again maybe that goes to say it’s not SO hard after all? Curve is crazy. I can guarantee you that.</p>
