The College Board

Dear Colleague:

The College Board is pleased to announce that revisions to AP(R) Chemistry will launch in the 2013-14 academic year. The revisions promote a balanced instructional approach, focused not only on factual knowledge but also on the thinking and reasoning skills vital for in-depth study -- and success on the revised exam.
