Partially released · 48%AP Chemistry is an introductory college-level chemistry course for students preparing for the College Board exam.
The course follows the current nine-unit AP Chemistry sequence, and aligns with the AP scientific and engineering practices. We use a variety of question types, as well as practice Free Response Questions, to ensure students are prepared for every part of the test.
We have currently released the first 4 of 9 units, and will be releasing the rest of the units over the course of fall 2026.
