okay I can try helping, I took it 2 years ago ish and got a 5 miraculously so I’ll try giving some tips though I honestly can’t say I remember much
Disclaimer I don’t know what the exam format is for this year so I’m just going off the normal one
Keep track of time, I usually calculate amt of time I can spend on each question (multiple choice and free response section) and the classic move on if you don’t get something bc it might be a time crunch for you
I assume it’s probably open note if ur doing it from home? Have all your material ready, periodic table, the like, I forget what it’s called that formula sheet with the ions of elements, also handy to have list of strong/weak acids and bases, know all the trends in the periodic table (size, affinity, electronegativity, etc...), maybe Lewis dot diagram names
A lot of topics to cover...I don’t remember all of them but like make sure you know the problems that u usually get tested on (molarity stuff, titrations, acids and bases (know your ICE table things or however you learned how to do those), oxidation reduction stuff (LEO and that other acronym I’m forgetting but u can search it up), electro-smth I distinctly remember having to do that problem on the exam but don’t remember what it’s called, where u have metal bars in separate solutions and the ions and stuff transfer, that was a FRQ I believe
Cannot stress this enough do practice exams!!! Lots of them are available and they are very very helpful and you can time yourself - when you get used to it it’s so much easier to do on the actual test
Graphing calculator if you have one just so it’s easier to keep a record of calculations and u can do other stuff if needed to check stuff sometimes
Get enough sleep it’s a long exam (idk how long it is this year though)
If at home test your technology and stuff make sure it works and all that, if handwriting make sure it’s legible
Good luck!!! Please feel free to add stuff bc I’m a bit rusty so I don’t remember that much
