2023 AP Chemistry: Around Ten Students with 5s, with Results Arriving in Real Time

Jul 5, 2023

Oh, you all worked so hard.

AP Chemistry is not an easy exam, but many of my students seem to have done well.

I have many students attending IB schools who also take five or more AP subjects. I even wonder

how they manage it all.

I've collected these messages, and so far nine of my students have contacted me. All of them received

5s in AP Chemistry.

Let's look at them one by one.

This student started in the second year of middle school and received an AP Chemistry 5 today, in their third year. Hahaha, what an impressive student.

A student in the same class also got a 5. This one is even younger: they started in the first year of middle school and got their result today in the second year. So young, but so good. I'm amazed.

This student is entering IB DP1. In other words, they studied in their first year of high school and received the result in their second. They are so naturally talented that I expected a 5.

Eligibility for the 12-year overseas-study admission route, five AP subjects plus three more this time, and various activities: that could support an application to SNU Medicine or another medical school.

I really hope they try and get a good result. They're exceptionally gifted, haha.

Oh, thank you so much. The student's mother has always been so kind that I've been grateful throughout, and I'm relieved to be able to repay that trust in this way. This student was also in middle school!

Another student who earned a 5. This one also has more than one AP subject. Shall we look more closely? These are the subjects from 2023.

They also earned some last year. It's quite intimidating! This student attends an AP school.

Thank you. So many people have sent messages that I hardly know what to say. Writing this, I hadn't realized just how many AP Chemistry 5s there were. Wow.

English translation of another AP Chemistry score 5 conversation

This student attends a Korean school and also got a 5. I think they may go to SNU. You worked so hard.

A student from the same class also got a 5.

Thank you so much.

For reference, my AP Chemistry study sequence is: 1. Read an up-to-date textbook. 2. Solve past papers. 3. Organize and review your mistakes before going to the exam.
