Bad Idea to take SATII Chem?

<p>I'm a sophomore in high school and am now in a Honors Chemistry class. I'm on the NJ Science League club at school, so I'm pretty good at science. I was considering taking SATII Chem this June but some people have said that you need to take AP Chem to do well. </p>

<p>So do you think I'll be prepared enough to take the SATII by June? I know there are a couple of things we don't cover in our class (like electrochemistry) but I think I can self study that.</p>

<p>I would say I was in almost the exact same position as you last year. I was in Chem Honors as a sophomore. I took the test and got an 800. I did some cursory review and some practice tests. My teacher was not all that great. The point being, you will probably get a good score. Get Barron's, read that book, do the practice tests and you will be set.</p>

<p>Yes - Chem Honors is sufficient for the SAT II. I'm basically a clone of The Wanderer except I used PR instead of Barron's.</p>

<p>I have a situation somewhat related to this (at least, it involves SAT2 Chem) so I'll ask here rather than create a new thread:</p>

<p>I took AP Chem this year and am studying for the AP test at the moment. I'm signed up for the SAT 2 Chem right now and studying for the AP test rather than for the SAT 2. Is that sufficient or should I learn more in depth stuff not necessary for the AP test?</p>

<p>Okay, so not entirely related...but to answer your question, sunshine_breeze, my teacher said SAT 2 material is about halfway between Honors and AP material so you should be okay if you study.</p>

<p>Thanks for your responses guys!</p>

<p>Annie, just focus on the AP test. If you do well enough on that, you will also do well on the SAT II; it is slightly easier. However, after the AP, be sure to practice the SAT II, b/c there are weird types of questions, like the multiple choices where you have to say if the two statements are true or false and if one statement explains the other.</p>
