AP Chemistry

Learn About The Subject

AP Chemistry will help students understand basic concepts such as structure, states of matter, types of intermolecular forces, and reactions, while also helping students learn how to use chemical calculations to solve related problems at the university level. Students who complete the course can take the AP exam, increasing their chances of being admitted to quality foreign universities, especially in the US and Canada.

Common Challenges When Learning AP Chemistry

Difficulty in mastering General Chemistry theory: Requiring a deep understanding of fundamental concepts about atomic structure, bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, etc.
Challenge with complex quantitative problems: Demanding accurate and effective calculation skills (stoichiometry, concentration, equilibrium, rates, etc.).
Barrier in explaining phenomena at the molecular level: Needing to apply chemical principles to explain reactions and material properties.
Obstacle in analyzing experimental data & designing experiments: Requiring interpretation of results, assessment of uncertainties, and understanding of chemical practical principles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

AP Chemistry

Is AP Chemistry much harder than regular high school chemistry?

Yes. AP Chemistry has significantly deeper and broader content, equivalent to a first-year university General Chemistry program, demanding higher analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Does studying AP Chemistry require a good mathematical foundation?

Yes, good mathematical skills, especially algebra (solving equations, working with logarithms, etc.), are essential for handling complex quantitative problems in the subject.

How is the practical (Lab) component assessed in AP Chemistry?

The AP exam focuses on assessing the ability to understand and design experiments, and to analyze and interpret experimental data, rather than direct hands-on lab skills, though knowledge of practical work is still necessary.

What are the most important skills for success in AP Chemistry?

A deep understanding of chemical principles, applying them to solve quantitative problems, explaining phenomena at the molecular level, and data analysis skills are key.

How does Intertu specifically support students studying AP Chemistry?

Intertu helps systematize General Chemistry knowledge, focuses on explaining difficult concepts, provides proficient practice in quantitative problem-solving skills, data analysis, and offers effective AP exam strategies.

Does Intertu offer trial classes and how is the tuition fee for AP Chemistry calculated?

Yes, Intertu Education offers Trial Classes. The tuition fee for AP Chemistry depends on the selected study hour package and level of support service. Please contact Intertu's counseling team directly for a detailed fee schedule and advice.
