<p>Im a sophomore taking chemistry honors currently, and I am preparing for the SATii Subject Test in June (the 4th to be exact).
I have 3 more months to prepare, and I looked over the Barron's book and realized i dont know a lot of the information, and that it is all new to me.
However, my chemistry teacher assured me that our course up until the end of May will cover mostly everything i need to know on the SAt subject test. I'm still unsure about what books would help me learn this information as quickly as possible and to help me get a 750+ on the SATiiSubjectTest.
Could you guys advise me on this? Thanks!</p>
<p>I got an 800. The thing is, it’s better to learn everything early, and then review it in class, because when you go over things in honor chemistry, you learn new ways to solve various problems. I used a couple of books…</p>
<p>1st. I used the Princeton Review book to get a very basic knowledge of every topic on the test.</p>
<p>2nd. I completely went over the Barrons book, and memorized it. This part took about 2 months total, so you should either start ASAP or be well into it.</p>
<p>3rd. Take a LOT of practice tests. Take them from every single SAT II chemistry book ever sold (PR, Barrons, Kaplan, Mcgraw Hill, and finally, the official College Board book).</p>
<p>Hopefully you’ll get a good score!</p>
<p>I got an 800. The thing is, it’s better to learn everything in class, then review the stuff you don’t know at home. It’s a lot more efficient, because you get most of the knowledge you need from your course, limiting the amount of stuff you need to learn at home. I used a couple of books…</p>
<p>1st. I used Kaplan to review the material I needed to know for the test. The practice tests in Kaplan are harder, I believe than most other books.</p>
<p>2nd. I used the Barrons book the most, both for its practice tests and its material. </p>
<p>3rd. Find as many practice tests as you can… it’s pretty important. I found the Barron’s practice tests to be the most accurate.</p>
<p>Hopefully you’ll get a great score! If not, don’t worry about it… SAT II’s are not the be all end all for college admissions. Usually, a score over a 750 is good enough for the ivies.</p>
