## What is AP Chemistry Exam Prep?

Do you feel unprepared for your AP Chem exam?? Improve your AP Chemistry knowledge FASTER than with any other app on iTunes. Applying the latest in cognitive science techniques, AP Chemistry Preparation will help you efficiently learn over 600 dynamic chemistry flashcards. It's the perfect study supplement! 

Brainscape has embarked on setting the highest standard for AP prep in the mobile community by partnering with educational consultants: The Science Guys. The idea is to mesh the complete College Board outline of material with clear explanations in a streamlined adaptive flashcard software, so you can study as efficiently as possible.  The adaptive platform lets you immediately diagnose weak areas (which will repeat more frequently as you study) and avoid over-studying already strong areas (which will be sorted out for you). It also tracks your overall success throughout. This won't completely replace your books -- indeed, we still recommend doing practice problems separately -- but it's the mobile prep tool you've been waiting for.  
 
**Important Updates: 
-All IUPAC (organic nomenclature) cards have full picture examples.  
-Mnemonics used by the best test takers added to help boost retention. 
-Full test overview deck, so you don't have to go researching the College Board
-NFPA labels in full color added. 
-3D images of hybridizations and bonding structures added.  
   
Spread the good word, and hit us up with stars as your score starts climbing!

### 1/5 — Very expensive

*2020-07-23*

It’s really expensive for a student like me.

### 2/5 — not free

*2020-01-28*

you have to pay $15 to access the material!

### 3/5 — Outdated

*2019-05-04*

It’s great for most of the subjects it has you study but the entire section about how the exam is designed is entirely wrong and many of the subjects no longer apply to the AP exams. It must be outdated or something because there are not 75 questions in the multiple choice section. The AP exams also no longer test for nuclear chemistry to the extent that it is emphasized in this program.

### 2/5 — Not worth the $20

*2016-10-13*

App is mediocre, covered most lessons taught throughout my school year, however it did not have all the lessons or much of my AP Chem course. There is a choice to add more decks, which I've tried doing, but it brings me to the App Store or a reference page to Brainscape's other apps, some of which are not AP Chem related. Pretty disappointed. Also, the cards/decks this app does have are good if you want to just memorize bits of the chapters, but would rarely help you understand the concept, and could have added concepts being taught instead of giving flashcards. Pretty much wasted $20

### 2/5 — Update to NEW curriculum

*2013-10-03*

This app WAS good for AP Chem review, but no longer, as the AP College Board has CHANGED the curriculum...when this app fixes that update, I will upgrade my review...

### 5/5 — great tool

*2012-10-29*

So far so good!  I see someone said new update broke, but mine and my friends are good.  Write Brainscape an email--they answered my question fast.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Wonderful

*2012-05-07*

Easy to use, very in-depth, simple and clear explanations. A top-notch test prep supplement.

### 5/5 — Simply amazing

*2012-05-05*

I've gone through the first two sets of cards and already feel way more confident and prepared for the test.

### 5/5 — Perfect for an AP/College student.

*2012-05-03*

Saved my backside plenty of times on tests.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2012-05-02*

Great review for all the first semester chem stuff long forgotten!'
