College Board (Find out more from the company that makes the test)
All students will have 2 copies of Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity by Kotz and Treichel.
One copy will remain in the classroom for in class assignments.
Using the book will allow you to answer most common questions and practice solving problems.
Check out the companion site to this book for interactive questions, online lab simulations and much more.
All students will be encouraged to purchase Cracking The AP Chemistry Exam by Paul Foglino.
The book reviews specific units with questions and answers.
The book also has two practice exams and contains answers with explanations to every question.
