I consider myself the Marie Curie of my school, but even she had to prepare—so, chem whizzes, what should I bring to the AP Chem exam? Got my goggles and calculator ready, but what else?
Hey there future Marie Curie! It's awesome to hear about your passion for Chemistry and your preparation for the AP Chem exam. Goggles, while great for the lab, won’t be needed for the exam, but having your calculator at the ready is definitely a smart move. Ensure it’s a scientific or graphing one that's approved by the College Board. It's also essential to bring a couple of No. 2 pencils for multiple-choice questions, a pen with black or dark blue ink for free-response questions, and an eraser. Don't forget your student ID and your AP Student Pack if you have one. Make sure everything you bring is organized in a clear bag for easy inspection. Most importantly, a good night's sleep and a confidence-boosting breakfast can be just as crucial as any supply. Best of luck; you're going to do great!
