Hey, basically, my advice for you is to make a study schedule from the 1st day u start. I used the sparknotes AP study pack, and it helps you manage your time pretty well. You will DEFINITELY need a study book, and the best one out there for AP Chem is the Princeton Review study book. if your instructor doesn't pay too much attention to your studies, live out of your book, and ask LOTS of questions. Wow, this is basically an essay. haha. just wanna save you from the misery of my AP chem class last year.
ps, i got a 5
o yea, with the 4 other AP classes tho, that's gonna take alot more work than what i had to go through. they also have some damn good websites for just studying AP chem n practice problems n stuff. you might wanna check it out.
do u have any websites i can visit?

in my opinion, you'd have to be completely crazy to take 5 ap classes! do yourself a huge favor and cut it down to two. that's how many i have right now and it takes up all of my time, plus i have other classes that i'm in that are either honores or cp. so seriously, you don't need to take that many, it just makes your high school years suck big time. i wish i had only taken 1 ap. but that's me. plus, i find that ap chem, which is a class i'm taking, is much, much, much harder then chem 1. i didn't take chem 2, and now i'm regretting it. the whole thing is just really confusing unless you understand it. so for me, it's either i get it or i don't. which sucks because for the ap exam you need to understand everything. just be sure you can handle it all, don't take on more than you can handle.
i'd say you can do it. i have 4 AP and 2 honors classes and im doing just fine. It depends on how much time and effort you're willing to put in, but since your taking 5 AP's i would imagine you're willing to work hard.
