AP Chemistry For Dummies

The AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first year of college, and students can be eligible to do second-year work in the chemistry sequence at their institution or to register for courses in other fields where general chemistry is a prerequisite. "AP Chemistry For Dummies" gives students enrolled in an AP chemistry class the information they need to bring their skills up to the collegiate level and perform well on the exam.
