<p>Hi guys!</p>
<p>Could you please recommend me the best SAT II Chemistry book? I've been using PR for a while, but I'm not finding it very helpful.</p>
<p>I would really appreciate your help.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>...bump...</p>
<p>Use barrons - got an 800</p>
<p>yeah i used barron's and got 800. however, i think you should also use mcgraw-hill's sat ii chemistry because it is really, really, easy to understand, the pictures are better, and it's written in a light, humorous style.</p>
<p>Use Barron's, I am about 99% sure I got an 800, I'll find out Novemeber 28th :)</p>
<p>yeah...barrons is good...it totally over prepares you for the test...so when you finally do take the test you kinda know everything...</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>I've been studying PR for the past little while, and I just ordered Barron's today. Do you think going through Barron's thoroughly is doable in the next three weeks, as I am taking the test December 2? Or will Barron's make me want to cry? The first time I took SAT II Chem, I scored 670..(if that makes any difference to what you guys have to say.)</p>
<p>I am having trouble with PR and some of the concepts (especially acids and bases), so I am hoping studying from Barron's will help me out. I am finding the PR tests to be extremely difficult. I think I understand most of the concepts and I have done the practice questions at the end of each chapter, but the practice test questions just seem SO convoluted. </p>
<p>Feedback appreciated!</p>
<p>Get Barrons and you'll do much better.</p>
<p>Is it possible to get a good score (700+) without taking AP chem? (using barrons, pr, chem class at school)</p>
<p>It depends on the rigor of your introductory chem class (assuming you had one). I was in the middle of taking AP chem, and with a decent prep book I made an okay score (680), but understudied. I think if you have some chem background and a good prep book you can make 700+.</p>
<p>I took honors chemistry and used kaplan and sparknotes and made a 740.</p>
<p>I took the AP Chemistry class and exam and received a 5. I took about a summer off from it and took 3 SAT Chem Diagnostic tests and received 620, 690, 690 respectively. After looking over Barron's and what not I started to get 800s on the Sparknotes and Barron's practice exams. </p>
<p>I took the SAT Chem test Nov. 4 and am confident I received an 800. Use Barrons.</p>
<p>Ok thanks!! That's good to hear.</p>
<p>(sorry op for hijacking ur thread!)</p>
<p>My favourite prep book is called "do well in your rigorous chem course(s) at school". ;)</p>
<p>Otherwise, apparently Barron's is good? :P</p>
