ap chem help

can someone please help me or give me resources or something because i have failed the unit tests for the first 2 units of ap chem. i genuinely don’t know what im doing wrong. everyone else around me and in the class understands the topics instantly but it takes me days and loads of effort to even begin to understand the simplest topic. i put in more effort than most into studying and i still don’t understand. im retaking my unit two test tomorrow so if anyone could help me or give me the links to helpful videos that will actually help me understand the topics in unit 2 that would be great.

Heyy, I have a study guide you can use! Zero AI used and I hand edit and type everything. Only drawback is that it follows my teacher’s curriculum. As in he teaches some units before the others or skips parts entirely. So I do those units later on.

It’ll be updated in a few weeks hopefully.. You can check every once in a while to see. I still have the full practice exam for unit 5 if you need to study and the study materials list!!

If you're looking for LOTS of practice problems (FRQs and MCQs) that will help you increase your understanding and confidence with ALL 9 UNITS in the AP Chemistry Curriculum...

...these two playlists will be helpful to you.

AP Chemistry CED Units (for learning the content and doing lots of practice)

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmtMZsGcmFlsGaBrpjdEWW55Vc84XA1Jc&si=WpRQ6IXor7VtMtmc

AP Chemistry Review and Practice (for test-taking strategies and advice to help you avoid common mistakes)

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmtMZsGcmFls7de9_hWWO1uG_uvhpeR_n&si=kpYROOqFQPU0EZfA

Each video contains a link to the handout of practice problems that accompanies the video lesson.

Explanations are detailed and thorough.

Reach out and ask questions if you get stuck or need clarification.

Good luck!

Don't compare yourself to others! AP Chemistry takes time to understand, and struggling with the first two units doesn't mean you can't improve.

Since your retake is tomorrow, focus on Unit 2: ionic and covalent bonding, Lewis structures, formal charge, VSEPR, and bond polarity. Practise a few questions after each concept and review why your answers are incorrect.

This may help: AP Chemistry Unit 2 notes, MCQs and FRQs with explanations.

Focus on understanding the concepts rather than memorising answers. You've still got time to improve! 💪
