Depends on what the school actually covers in Honors Chem. RM has single period AP because 10th grade Honors Chem covers more than the bare bones county curriculum so that kids are prepared for either AP or IB chem.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that schools would give credit for it without it including a lab component.
Some colleges will only give credit for the lecture component. Some will give credit for both. Some colleges will only give lab credit if the student has a lab notebook to submit to the college for approval.

Yes it does
How can that be if it’s just one credit and periods vary by school?

Is AP Chem a single or double period class?
