Six Practices of Science in AP Chemistry by Masterclass Space

Sign up for the AP Exams

In order to register for the exam, you need to enroll in your class section online. Your school's AP coordinator will handle the procurement of your exam materials and the collection of all fees. Fall is the deadline for exam registration, but individual schools may have different deadlines, so make sure to check with your teacher or the AP coordinator.

Instructions

Make sure your online class section is joined.

Make sure you have joined your class section before logging into My AP with your College Board account. If not, you must follow the instructions to join your section online.

Register in My AP or confirm your current registration.

When you join your class sections in My AP, you'll see a Register button in the class section view if your school requires you to indicate your exam registration. Your coordinator will order the exam for you after you click this button to let them know that you intend to take it. You have already been automatically registered for the exam if you don't see that button.

If you want to sign up for an exam after November, there might be a late fee associated with your order. To update your registration, you must contact your AP coordinator. Don't worry if you transferred to a new school or if your class doesn't start until the spring; your coordinator will be able to order your exam and you won't be charged a late order fee.

Discuss paying exam fees with the AP coordinator at your school.

The exam fee is not refundable through this website. Any fees you owe will be collected by your AP coordinator.

Please review your registration information.

The exam date and time will be displayed on your course card in My AP once you have decided to register. If you have any concerns about the time of the exam(s) you're scheduled to take, you can check the exam schedule and speak with your AP coordinator.

The date, time, and location of your exam report will be given to you by your AP coordinator.

Selecting AP Courses

The fields of arts, English, history and social science, math and computer science, the sciences, and world languages and culture all have AP courses available. Based on the subjects you are interested in and the classes you do well in, you should select an AP course.

Concerning AP Scores

On a scale from 1 to 5, AP Exam scores range. For scores of three or higher, many American colleges offer credit and/or advanced placement (allowing you to skip the equivalent course once you're in college).

Look at Your AP Scores

To view your AP scores and sign into your College Board account, follow the steps listed below.

Instructions

• Verify your ability to log into your College Board account.
• Make sure you remember your login information by logging in before the July score release. You log in with this account to access My AP and other College Board resources.
• Make sure your email address is up to date.
• Update your account if your email address has changed.
• If you already have an account, don't make another one.
• The delivery of your AP scores may be delayed due to duplicate accounts. Use the same account that you used to enrol in and register for the AP course sections.

The Six Practises of Science in AP Chemistry

These six "scientific practises" are skills that AP Chemistry students are expected to learn. Many of these have to do with correctly applying the scientific method in a lab setting. The "Guided Inquiry" labs, where students plan and carry out experiments on their own, are particularly connected to them.

1. The student can describe models and representations, including those at different scales, in point one.
2. The student can choose relevant research questions and techniques.
3. The student can make models or representations of chemical phenomena.
4. Either on a single scale or across several scales, the student can analyse and interpret models and representations.
5. The student can use mathematical relationships to solve problems.
6. The student can construct an explanation or a rational argument.

Academic Requirements for AP Chemistry

• The curriculum requirements are specific descriptions of what is expected of students in the AP Chemistry course. These specifications cover the kinds of materials teachers must use in the classroom, the format of the course, the opportunities students ought to have, and the proportion of class time that should be spent in labs.
• A college-level chemistry textbook that has recently (within the last ten years) been published must be used for the course.
• The nine units listed in the AP Chemistry curriculum framework must form the course's framework.
• Every big idea in the AP Chemistry curriculum should have opportunities for students to meet the learning objectives outside of laboratory investigations.
• To help them become scientifically literate citizens, students have the chance to relate their knowledge of chemistry and science to important societal or technological components.
• At least 16 practical experiments are included in the labs, which account for at least 25% of the instructional time.
• Students can apply the seven science practices through lab investigations, and at least six of the sixteen labs are carried out using a guided inquiry methodology. "Guided inquiry" labs put students in the spotlight of the learning process by encouraging them to posit, develop, and experimentally investigate questions (of their own making or those that are provided). Other, more conventional labs are teacher-directed, which means that teachers give students procedures and data collection techniques in addition to the investigational questions.
• Through lab reports, summaries of literature or scientific investigations, and oral, written, and graphic presentations, the course gives students the chance to develop, record, and maintain evidence of their verbal, written, and graphic communication skills.

Multiple-Choice Strategies for AP Chemistry
There is no denying that guessing is simpler on a multiple-choice question than it is on an essay question or a problem set, even though you may not like multiple-choice questions. An answer to a multiple-choice question is always right in front of you; the challenge is finding it in the maze of false positives. Compare that to the Best AP Chemistry classes. If you don't know how to solve a problem in that section, you must write down what you do know and pray that the fabled King of Partial Credit is having a good day.

Section II will be covered in more detail later. For the time being, let's discuss what to expect on the AP Chemistry exam before seeing the first question.

Helpful Information in an Unhelpful Format for the AP Chemistry Exam

Imagine that you are hosting a party and your parents are pressuring you to invite someone. Even though you don't get along with this person, you have no choice but to abide by your parents' demands. You provide the acquaintance with directions to the party, but you purposefully make them ambiguous and challenging to follow. The directions are full of uninteresting expressions like "Turn left at the light and then turn right a couple of miles down from there." You hope that you have given the necessary information, but in a way that won't be very helpful.

Although it's not very nice of you to do so, this does offer a helpful example. You will receive some information that you can use throughout each section of the AP Chemistry exam before that section. Similar to the instructions in the aforementioned story, this information is presented. It's helpful, but it doesn't make an effort to be simple to use. A simplified version of the periodic table is shown before Section I; it mainly consists of letters, numbers, and blocks. There is NOT any additional information that might be present on a typical periodic table.

Now, you probably don't need any of that additional information anyway if you are familiar with the periodic table. In other words, you probably won't need the periodic table very often if you are familiar enough with it to comprehend the periodic table at the top of the test.

Therefore, the information presented at the beginning of the section is ultimately a bit of a wash. Nevertheless, remember that they exist. Having the periodic table there is very helpful because there may be one or two questions that call for you to use specific data, like the atomic number, from the table. However, it's unlikely that you'll be explicitly told that you need to use the table. In other words, you won't get a question that says, "Use the periodic table to help you with this problem," or anything even close to that.

Let's talk about the 60 multiple-choice questions in Section I that you have 90 minutes to complete now that the introduction material has been covered.
