Wow, AP Chemistry is finally over.
That was really exhausting.
First, the AP exam leak made this year's exam situation quite a headache.
I think many students were worried.
I can help. Both international and US versions are available.
An answer-key version is available too.
How much is it?
Contact me on Telegram.
Is it 350? That is too expensive for a student.
The answer-key version is 450.
This place is cheaper.

These messages describe AP questions being leaked by exploiting time-zone differences. Students sent me these KakaoTalk messages, and it seems students abroad knew about it too. Reports that the AP exam had been leaked in Korea had already spread widely. The people leaking papers are a problem, but I also think there are problems with the organization managing and setting the exam. With an exam taken around the world, it's difficult, but still…
Even in this situation, many students can succeed through their own ability. If you work hard, you can still earn a 5.
I'll share some student reactions below.
Some students said it was easy. The student above took 13 AP exams in one sitting and also takes IB exams.
This student qualifies for the 12-year overseas-study admission route and appears to have nearly perfect SAT and TOEFL scores alongside those 13 APs. They're exceptionally strong, so they should be treated as an unusual case.
The student above is preparing for A Levels and also had those exams, so they weren't in a position to devote all their time to AP preparation. Even so, they said the MCQs were easy, which makes me think they may get a 5.
Overall, FRQ 3 seems to have been difficult.
The student above attends a Korean school. Again, they thought the MCQs were easy but the FRQs were difficult. That seems to be a recurring response.
Again, the message says the MCQs were easy and the FRQs difficult.
To sum up their reactions, most said the MCQs were easy but the FRQs were difficult.
Overall, it was definitely harder than last year. I expect the score boundaries to be lower.
Now, these are reactions to the late exam.
In contrast, students said the FRQs were easy and the MCQs difficult—the opposite of the earlier exam, haha.
Again, the response is the same: difficult MCQs and easy FRQs.
I asked for more detail.
This answer, however, says the MCQs were easy and the FRQs difficult.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Most of the exams are almost over now, and spaces are opening in my schedule.
It would be nice to rest a little, but the schedule is already filling again.
I really shouldn't take more students, but somehow almost all the slots have filled.
