Coming into AP Chem as a CP student.

As the title states, I'm going into AP Chem next near from a college prep Chem class. My grades average around A or A+, and I feel as though I have a really good understanding of everything.

At least where I go to school, I believe the only difference between college prep and Honors Chem is college prep doesn't learn stoich. I have many friends taking AP Chem next year too but they're all coming from Honors.

People are saying the AP exam this year was hard, and I'm starting to get nervous. Will I be ready?

Edit: where I come from CP is an abbreviation for college prep... apparently it's not a widely used abbreviation

How to start studying

Hii I’m an upcoming senior and I wanted to study Ap chem in the summer to be a bit ahead. I already took highschool chem for two years so I do have a background. Can anyone who already took it and preferably got a 5 explain to me how they studied ?

Late AP Test Tmrw: Am I ready?

I tried to self-study AP chem this yr. Given that I already know units 1-3 and that I got through the rest of the units on Khan, can I get a 4? Is a 5 achievable?

https://preview.redd.it/o6wfi0fh172h1.png?width=2316&format=png&auto=webp&s=5150d55c8d6ccb5931b74597ab2f7945590feb39

I have practice exams, so I can do those. What else do you guys suggest? Am I missing anything important that Khan can't cover? If so please let me know.

Otherwise, I am trying to prep by also revising units 1-3 and memorizing VSEPR, Strong acids & bases, hybridization, solubility rules, more polyatomic ions, yk.

Late testing

Guys im a bit confused for late testing lots of people say its way harder others say its the same difficulty also i know they make a completely different exam for late testing but do they also change the unit thats heavily weighted on the exam?? Like i heard this years exam was 50% thermo and little unit 9so should i expect that aswell on my late exam or nah because some people told me since unit 9 was barely asked about in the exam so expect to be asked about it a lot in the late testing while others telling me that i should focus on thermo cuz it was asked about a lot in the test

am i cooked if i dont remember half the units like 24 hours before the test

im trying to guage the likelihood of me getting at least a 3 and yk what maybe i do have a chance but my memory is sooo bad 😭 every practice test i do i get around half the questions right. is there anything i can do to somehow be able to memorize more or is it too late to do anything drastic. im choosing to be delusionally hopeful here ✌️ i havent done any practice frqs yet so maybe thats a problem too

Question regarding Units

For AP Chemistry FRQs, if I’m doing a stoichiometry calculation and I don’t write units throughout every step of my work, but I do include the correct units in my final answer, would I lose points?

For example, if I show the numerical setup correctly but only label the final answer as mol, g, M, etc., is that usually okay? Or do graders expect units to be shown during the dimensional analysis steps too?
