2024 AP Chemistry Exam Analysis

The video reviews the 2024 AP Chemistry exam, focusing on the distribution of questions across different units, particularly Unit 3 on intermolecular forces. The teacher analyzes the free-response questions (FRQs) and notes the unexpected emphasis on Thermo content. A detailed breakdown of the FRQs is provided, along with a statistical analysis of the exam's content distribution. The teacher concludes that the exam was fair and close to the advertised content, despite some discrepancies in expected versus actual content.

What was a common student reaction regarding the 2024 AP Chemistry exam content?
