Clear, structured instruction for students who need more than lecture slides and textbook readings - whether you're preparing for the ACS exam, improving your course grade, or building a stronger foundation.
HighPrep General Chemistry I is a comprehensive self-paced course covering the material taught in both a rigorous high school chemistry course and a university-level General Chemistry I course. Students work through detailed video lessons, guided examples, and extensive practice problems - from dimensional analysis and nomenclature all the way through thermochemistry, gas laws, molecular geometry, and states of matter.
Special emphasis is placed on the concepts most commonly tested in college chemistry courses and on the ACS General Chemistry Examination. This course is also an excellent supplement to one-on-one tutoring: by building a strong foundation through structured instruction, students can maximize the value of tutoring sessions and spend more time on advanced problem-solving and course-specific material.
