AP Chemistry: How to Work Smarter, Not Harder

AP Chemistry can be very challenging, but students often take the wrong approach. They take a brute force approach, give up hours of sleep, and practically cry blood. Instead, the AP Chemistry exam rewards students who take an approach that is "smarter, not harder." Students tend to do best on the AP Chemistry exam when the work to understand the concepts instead of just memorizing and when they can see the big picture. This allows them to see shortcuts and other, easier ways to solve problems. It also allows them to be clever. Here, we'll look at some examples of what it looks like to be approach an AP Chemistry problem by working "smarter, not harder."

[efeaisedion]

Thank you for everything you got me through chemistry now I’m done with it 😂😂🤝

[mantu_animations]

Sir you are the best teacher of chemistry. I hadn't see any tutor like you who explains theories in a quick and easy way. Thank you.

[mellajames-lcco]

Can I please get a tutorial on Periodic Chemistry

[xiniasolis]

Dr. DeWitt, thank you so much for making chemistry not intimidating! 🙏🏼

You helped me so much in Advanced Chemistry! (Not AP Chem, I'm taking that class next year lol.) I couldn't wrap my head around stochiometry and the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules before I found your videos, and because of you, I've had a 100 in the class for the whole year. :)

Hello, Tyler! I am currently studying chemistry and I've just watched your 12 year old video of your "magic trick" using acids, bases and the indicator! Really cool to see you're doing this 12 years later with ongoing joy for what you do!

Mr. Tyler, I'm Andrew from Pakistan and I soon going to be taking A-level Chemistry. Therefore, I would be much obligated by your contribution in my preparation. Please do make practice problems and concept teaching videos; I will truly appreciate it.
