The AP exam is a timed exam keep this in mind as you prepare. When taking the various tests presented in this book, you should follow the AP exam rules as closely as possible. Anyone can improve his or her score by using notes, books, or an unlimited time. You will have none of these on the AP exam, so resist the temptation to use them on practice exams. Carefully time yourself do not use other materials and use a calculator only when expressly allowed to do so. After you have finished an exam, you may use other sources to go over questions you missed or skipped. We have seen many students get into trouble because the first time they attempted a test under test conditions was on the test itself. 

The US first to invent system allows a person to obtain a US patent if he can prove that he made the invention prior to another party who filed an earlier patent application for the same invention. Proof of invention can involve submission of lab note books, making diligent record keeping extremely important to preserve US patent rights. 

The course outlined in this book is an experimental study of chemistry. Chapters I and III deal with general principles. The first part of each of these two chapters gives directions for experiments which are to be performed by the student. Records of these experiments are to be kept in the laboratory note book as follows the experimental facts and measurements are to be recorded on the left-hand page as the note book lies open opposite these statements, on the right-hand page, calculations are to be made, equations for the chemical reactions are to be written, and final conclusions are to be drawn. The second part of each of these chapters is devoted to notes discussing the principles that the experiments illustrate, and problems for home work. 

To that end study carefully the general discussion of the preparation as well as the procedure. On the left-hand page of the note book (1) write a brief discussion of the fundamental principles involved in the preparation (2) write equations for all reactions and (3) starting with the given amount of the principal raw material, calculate what amounts of the other substances are necessary to satisfy the equations. When the amount specified in the directions is different from that calculated, state the reason for the difference. Calculate also on the basis of the equations the amount of the main product as well as of any important intermediate products or by-products. 

Laboratory Record. The working directions, in the section entitled procedure, are to be kept at hand while carrying out the manipulations. These directions do not need to be copied in the laboratory note book but it is essential, nevertheless, to keep a laboratory record in which are entered all important observations and data, such, for example, as appearance of solutions (color, turbidity) appearance of precipitates or crystals (color, size of grains, crystalline form) results of all weighings or measurements number of recrystallizations results of test for purity of materials and products, etc. 

The answers to the questions should be written in the laboratory note book following the entries for the exercise, and this book should be submitted at the same time as the preparation for the approval of an instructor. 

In preparing a preliminary report for this preparation, copy thoughtfully into the laboratory note book the flow sheet of the... 

Record this experiment in the note book, giving a description and an explanation in your own words. Wash the beaker immediately after the experiment, as the sodium silicate solution will etch the glass.
