Best way to study for chemistry?

Test Preparation
1

<p>i was just wondering if anyone knows what is the best book to use to study for the Chemistry SAT Subject Test... i've only taken a regular chemistry class and will take AP Chem next year (senior year) but i looked through some practice questions and i knew a lot of them... i think with a good book i should be able to teach myself anything i need to know for the test...</p>

<p>I used the PR book...my scores were as follows 750, 730, 590. The first and third test I did in 45 minutes instead of an hour. On the real thing, I got a 760. PR seems like it does a good job...it does a great job on reviewing the content.</p>

<p>I dont know much about the PR book, but I used Kaplan a few weeks before the test and the practice test scores were very accurate. In practice I got 730 and 740, and on the real thing I got a 740.</p>

<p>Well I did the subject test for chemistry on a whim, but before that I had been self-studying chemistry for the AP test, and I know that my Brown/Lemay book was really helpful in tackling down concepts. Also, doing the multiple choice from my PR AP prep book was definitely helpful though that one section was a real pain to prepare for. You know, the ridiculous one that's like statement one is true and statement two is true and statement two is true because of statement one. But yeah, overall I fared pretty well and got a 770.</p>

<p>I took Honors Chemistry and we used Silberberg or something like that. I believe it's AP-approved, and it's a pretty good book. The examples as to understanding concepts are great, but as to helping you on the AP test, I cannot answer that question.</p>

<p>On the AP Test, I used PR. It was the best out of the other one I bought (Barron's). </p>

<p>As for the SAT II, the one thing I know that most people'll struggle on is the logic questions (TTCE, TT, TF, FT, FF). Try to get PR SAT II to help you. I heard that's pretty good too. Oh, and I got a 780.</p>

<p>I strongly recommend the Princeton Review SATII book. Very concise and I found it pretty close to the real thing.</p>
