Preparing Thoroughly for AP Chemistry Question Practice

I don't teach other subjects. I teach Chemistry only.

AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry, and A Level Chemistry.

I haven't written for a while. I'm finding my energy again and working hard on lessons.

First, here is a sample lesson from a four-student class.

Once you've covered AP Chemistry theory reasonably well, you need to solve plenty of questions.

Doing more questions than others, and doing them accurately, seems to be the route to a 5.

Because time is limited, I sometimes assign prerecorded videos as homework,

and most question practice is also completed as homework.

An AP Chemistry 5 starts around 80%. A perfect 100 would be amazing, but you did so well. I’m very proud of you.

Parent

Oh, really? Thank you so much.

Teacher

Your child worked very hard. Please make sure to treat them to something delicious. I’m delighted and proud.

Parent

Yes, I’ll tell my child. Thank you so much.

Teacher

Thank you! I’ve been very lucky to have such students.

I upload videos to my website to help students fill gaps. But uploading every day isn't easy.

Putting up a substantial number of videos takes a lot of time.

There is much to do in a short period, so I ask students to use the website lessons for topics they need to strengthen.

I got into Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Korea University.

Teacher

Wow!

Student

My mother said that Korea University might be the better choice.

Teacher

What are you curious about? What is your final score?

Student

Whose score? Haha. Mine?

Teacher

Yours, of course!

Student

I got 45.

Teacher

Wow! You still chose Korea University?

Teacher, it has been a long time. I got admitted to several schools and thought it over, then decided on Yonsei.

Teacher

Wow! I’m teaching right now, so I can’t write a proper reply, but congratulations! Study hard!

Student

Thank you, teacher.

The AP Chemistry exam is approaching.

Go into it having solved as many questions as you can.

You should encounter almost all the available question material.

It feels like a long time since I last invited new students.
