<p>Hi,</p>
<p>So I have the Barron's SAT Subject Test prep book. I'm basically on Chapter 12 (RedOx, cells, etc), and I'm wondering, do I actually have to know any of this stuff? I've heard that Barron's goes too much into detail, and since I'm cramped on time what material should I not bother studying/reading?</p>
<p>Also, should the solubility table/rules be memorized?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You should probably memorize some of the solubility rules:
-Nitrates always dissolve,
-Ag, Pb, Hg are usually insoluble
-Carbonates are usually insoluble</p>
<p>Thanks! Should we need to know the following?</p>
<p>-Reduction potentials, voltage, electrolytic reactions, faradays, oxidation state method, ion-electron method (balancing RedOx reactions…?)
-Colors, smells, etc. of “Some Representative Groups and Families” - different from the Laboratory which I presume we should know all about
-Carbon/Organic chemistry in detail</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>By the way, I got about 14 wrong on a Barron’s practice test (which is around 790). It didn’t seem as hard as I thought it would be, however… do I have a chance at 800?</p>
<p>@Presidont, I think you most likely have a shot at an 800, what did you seem to get wrong on the test the most?</p>
<p>Well, I only took the first practice test.</p>
<p>-I got 0/2 nucleonics correct
-4/7 acids and bases
-4/6 Redox/electrochemistry
-2/6 Lab</p>
<p>Pretty much everything else I’m nailing (ie stoichiometry, basic theory, etc).</p>
<p>Yeah I’m preparing for this exam as well and the lab part seems to be one of the more difficult, stoichiometry can also be tricky since you have to memorize all of the conversions as well as be able to use them for difficult problems.</p>
<p>Conversions for stoichiometry? I’m getting perfect scores in that section…</p>
