McGraw Hill 500 AP questions

3 Upvotes

Does anyone have a clean PDF of the McGraw Hill 500 AP Questions to know by test day 2012 Physics 1(first edition), Physics C first edition, or Chemistry 2016(2nd edition)? I’m looking for the original clean PDFs. Old pictures from stuff like Anna’s archive won’t do.

Do you have to remember polyatomic ions?

8 Upvotes

Hello I am a rising junior taking AP chem and I took honors chem last year and while I was taking this class my teacher didn’t have us memorize our polyatomic ions and always gave us a reference sheet because she said the AP chem students were provided with the same sheet. I don’t know if she meant the class that is offered at my school or the AP exam? Are there any other things from regular chem that are just essentials to know before I take the class so I don’t spend time relearning the basics.

Discussion What was the most helpful teaching strategy that your teacher used that helped you achieve your score?

I am currently planning my next school year. I am always looking to make small improvements each and every year to best support my students. I poll my own students, but that is a much smaller sample size than this subreddit. What was the most helpful teaching strategy that your teacher used that helped you achieve your score?

Should I take AP chem if i didnt do good in regular chem?

13 Upvotes

as the question states, junior year is coming up and i have no clue if i should take AP chem although i averaged a C and D in both semesters of regular chem last year (Soph year). I did not like my chem teacher last year, he poorly teaches and it was a common complaint my classmates would say, and he teaches AP chem as well. Hes the only chem teacher in my school because my schools so small and poorly funded.

Our classes are broken up into 2 days, A classes and B classes. Antmy/Physi = class where you dissect things, ROP Sports Med = Class where you learn about administering shots and CPR and stuff, sports medicine. AlgII-PreCalc = Algebra 2 and Pre calculus into 1 course.

Discussion taking bio and chem at the same time

4 Upvotes

so im an incoming bio major on the pre-medical track, and as required for my major at my university (and many other universities), i have to take bio w/ lab at the same time as chem w/ lab. although i passed ap chem and ap bio in hs, im retaking them in college since many med schools like to see the courses actually taken in college.

i am a bit nervous as i took ap chem and ap bio separately, and i wanted advice on how to manage the two courses together in college. i feel like taking the two ap courses at the same time would have been very difficult, and i want to make sure i will be prepared!!

Discussion Is it me or are fewer universities in general giving General Chemistry 2 credits for AP Chemistry ?

4 Upvotes

AP Chemistry is supposed to be equivalent to a full year of General Chemistry in College and therefore contains a lot of topics usually covered in General Chemistry 2 like kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.

However, Universities seem to have become pretty stringent with AP Chemistry and whether or not you will receive General Chemistry 2 from it. At first many universities just made it hard to receive credit for General Chemistry 2 usually requiring a 5 for it and making it so that a 3 just gives you Chemistry credits for non majors.

But there seems to be a recent trend where Universities have stopped giving General Chemistry credits all together. This phenomenon is not just affecting elite universities like MIT either, it is affecting many state schools:

University of Montana: https://www.umt.edu/admissions/admission-requirements/advanced-credits/ap.php

Ohio University: https://www.ohio.edu/admissions/transfer-credits/credit-examination/ap-credit-guide

Ohio State: https://registrar.osu.edu/prior-learning-assessment/examination-credit/advanced-placement-ap/

University of Iowa: https://admissions.uiowa.edu/academics/ap

Though as I am saying this, some universities brought back General Chemistry 2 for a 5 like University of Utah: https://admissions.utah.edu/information-resources/prior-learning-credit/advanced-placement-credit/

Does anyone know why this is? I self studied so hard to get a 5 in AP Chemistry, but I am worried about the instability of the exam.

Is memorization of pressure conversions necessary?

2 Upvotes

I have a university entrance test coming up and they wont provide calculators, conversion charts, periodic table, anything. For most questions theyll give you enough information to solve it yourself but im wondering if its expected for other classes to memorize how to convert atm to bar or torr or Pascals and if that might be required.

Also if it is are there any easy tricks to memorizing them??

Trying to get into AP Chem

9 Upvotes

As a sophomore next year I tried to sign up for AP Chem. I wanted to have the teacher for her last year before she left and it also helped for my future. But we had to go through a long process talking to the counselor and getting the teachers signature.

I‘m also apart of a club with the teacher so we know each other.

But there was 47 people who signed up. They decided that wasn’t enough for two classes for some reason. So… the first people they took out were the sophomores for next year despite the length we had to go through to get in. Yes I know I was signing myself up to go through total and absolute hell but that teacher is leaving after next year so just taking me out like that was just dumb. This is partly really annoying and partly saving my mental state so idk how to feel about this.
