About This Book

All Access for the AP® Chemistry Exam - Completely Revised for the 2014 Exam!
Book + Web + Mobile


Everything you need to prepare for the Advanced Placement® exam, in a study system built around you!

There are many different ways to prepare for an Advanced Placement® exam. What's best for you depends on how much time you have to study and how comfortable you are with the subject matter. To score your highest, you need a system that can be customized to fit you: your schedule, your learning style, and your current level of knowledge.

This book, and the online tools that come with it, will help you personalize your AP® Chemistry prep by testing your understanding, pinpointing your weaknesses, and delivering flashcard study materials unique to you.

The REA AP® All Access system allows you to create a personalized study plan through three simple steps: targeted review of exam content, assessment of your knowledge, and focused study in the topics where you need the most help.

Here's how it works:

Review the Book:
Study the Big Ideas tested on the AP® Chemistry exam and learn proven AP® strategies that will help you tackle any question you may see on test day.

Test Yourself and Get Feedback:
As you review the book, test yourself with 7 end-of-chapter quizzes, plus two mini-tests. Score reports from your free online tests and quizzes give you a fast way to pinpoint what you really know and what you should spend more time studying.

Improve Your Score:
Armed with your score reports, you can personalize your study plan. Review the parts of the book where you are weakest, and use the REA Study Center to create your own unique AP® Chemistry e-flashcards, adding to the 100 free cards included with this book.

Visit The REA Study Center for a suite of online tools:
The best way to personalize your study plan is to get frequent feedback on what you know and what you don't. At the online REA Study Center, you can access three types of assessment: topic-level quizzes, mini-tests, and a full-length practice test. Each of these tools provides true-to-format questions and delivers a detailed score report that follows the topics set by the College Board®.

Topic-Level Quizzes
Short, 15-minute online quizzes are available throughout the review and are designed to test your immediate grasp of the topics just covered.

Mini-Tests
Two online mini-tests cover what you've studied in each half of the book. These tests are like the actual AP® Chemistry exam, only shorter, and will help you evaluate your overall understanding of the subject.

Full-Length Practice Test
After you've finished reviewing the book, take our full-length AP® Chemistry exam to practice under test-day conditions. Available both in the book and online, this test gives you the most complete picture of your strengths and weaknesses. We strongly recommend that you take the online version of the exam for the added benefits of timed testing, automatic scoring, and a detailed score report.

Improving Your Score: e-Flashcards
With your score reports from the quizzes and tests, you'll be able to see exactly which AP® Chemistry topics you need to review. Use this information to create your own flashcards for the areas where you are weak. And, because you will create these flashcards through the REA Study Center, you'll be able to access them from any computer or smartphone. Not quite sure what to put on your flashcards? Start with the 100 free cards included when you buy this book.

This complete test prep package comes with a customized study schedule and expert test-taking strategies and tips.

Strategies for the Exam

What Will I See on the AP Chemistry Exam?

One May morning, you stroll confidently into the testing center, where you’re scheduled to take the AP Chemistry exam. You know your stuff. You paid attention in class, followed your textbook, took plenty of notes, and reviewed using your test prep guide. So, what content and types of questions can you expect to see on the test?

General Content

The AP Chemistry exam content comes from six major “big ideas” that commonly make up a general course in chemistry. These general categories are summarized here:
1. Atomic Structure: periodicity, spectroscopy, stoichiometry
2. Property Relationships: Classification of substances, molecules, solutions, phases of mater
3. Transformations: physical and chemical processes, electrochemistry
4. Kinetics: rate and collision theory, mechanisms
5. Thermodynamics: heat and heat transfer, chemical energy, free energy, calorimetry
6. Equilibrium: acid/base, solubility, equilibrium and thermodynamics
With recent changes in the AP Chemistry curriculum, the College Board is placing more emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving, and reducing expectations about remembering chemical knowledge. Wi...
