AP Chemistry Review Materials
 
Mandatory Homework
(1)Nuclear Chem Video 1: Click on link in calendar above (turn in note-taking guide)
(2)Nuclear Chem Video 2: Click on link in calendar above (turn in note-taking guide)
(3)Diagnostic Test (Grade it yourself and turn in your graded answer sheet)
**Use the detailed answer key to the diagnostic test to review before self-administering the released ap test.

(4)Self Administer the following AP exam (obey the time and other rules for each section and possibly take this in a library--the more you stick to actual testing conditions the more prepared you'll be for the actual exam):
---2002 Released Exam-Multiple Choice Section (Grade it yourself and turn in your graded answer sheet)--Print two pages per sheet, because it's pretty long.
Answer Key to 2002 Released Exam
---Link to the 2009 FRQ Section: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap09_frq_chemistry.pdf    
Link to the Scoring Guidelines: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap09_chemistry_sgs.pdf
(Grade it yourself and turn in your graded FRQ section)

Use this ROUGH general rule to assign yourself a grade of 3, 4, or 5:
--M/C score of 25-34=3; 35-49=4; 50 or more=5
--FRQ score: 1/3 of the points=3; 1/2 of the points or more=4 or 5 (you be the judge)
--Each section is weighted 50% so average your two scores together and then round to a whole number to get your overall score.
**This is a pretty fair prediction (if you're honest with yourself and if you take it after you've reviewed and feel like you'd be ready for the ap exam) of your actual performance on the real ap exam you'll take.
**Please email me, if possible (not mandatory), your answer sheet to the M/C section over break. That will allow me to know what I need to cover with you the day we return from break. Since we only have two days, it would be most productive if I can be prepared for this ahead of time. Therefore, do not email me a couple days before or the day before break ends. I need time to prepare the review session. The more people I get emails from, the better prepared I can be for the review and the more productive the review session will be.

Optional Material (but HIGHLY SUGGESTED):
Preparing for the M/C section
Common Topics that show up on the M/C section
Section One (see answer key)
Section Two (there is no answer key for this)

Preparing for the FRQ section (common topics)
List of topics for each question in the FRQ section from 2002-2007 (don't print this; it's several pages)
**Although completing Sections One and Two are not mandatory, could you please let me know if you did them? I want to do some data analysis comparing ap scores for students who completed these Sections to the students who did not. I'm hoping there is a correlation. In other words, I'm hoping these Sections are helpful  :)

***We'll have two class periods after break to go over your diagnostic test results and the self-administered ap test results (and anything else you'd like me to cover).

Suggested Agenda to pace yourself:
Day 1: Take Diagnostic Test and grade yourself
Days 2-5 (or more, depending on how many questions you missed on the diagnostic test): Use the detailed answer key to review topics--use your prep books, old tests, notes, etc. to help you review.
Day 6: Read over Optional Materials
Day 7: Complete (optional assignments) Section One and Section Two
Day 8: Review more based on the Optional Materials you read over
Day 9: Self-administer the ap exam
Day 10: Grade your ap exam and EMAIL MRS. LINDEN YOUR GRADED ANSWER SHEET (email me the M/C answer sheet only).

AP Chemistry Exam is on May 2!!!

Solutions to the 2011 FRQs (this is password protected)
*Note: For 3c, the answer should have units of "kJ"--NOT "kJ/mol"
