<p>I would say that if you memorize chemistry, you won’t do well. Literally, everything connects with each other. Can you memorize somethings? Yes. All of it? no. </p>
<p>It would be difficult to just jump right into AP Chem I think. AP Chem is considered to be one of the hardest AP courses there is. Some really smart people just can’t connect with chemistry, so I would definitely recommend not skipping Chem 1.</p>
