<p>I kno you arent allowed to use the calc. But how will the proctor know??</p>
<p>For those of you who have taken previous SAT II exams, we kno that the proctor hands out a huge book. So you could just bring ur calc and make it seem like ur taking the Math one.</p>
<p>our proctor doesnt care. i didnt know u coldnt use a calc, but tons of kids were using a calc on the sat II chem.</p>
<p>why would you want to cheat and use a calc? you're just cheating yourself. frankly, there aren't any problems that involve hard calculations.</p>
<p>don't cheat.</p>
<p>Unless if you have a hard time multiplying 8 x 7, don't use a calculator.</p>
<p>Although if you're having a hard time with that kind of math I'd be wondering why you're taking the exam in the first place.</p>
<p>If you want to use a calculator so badly, just take the AP and play fairly.</p>
<p>And if you had a proctor like ANY of the ones I've ever had (AP's and SAT II's included), they'll be walking around. They'll see you're using a calculator on a test that isn't math and confiscate your test. They look out for cheaters like you, so beware.</p>
<p>Frankly, ETS is doing you a favor by not requiring/allowing you a calculator. They made the questions easy enough for you do to in your head, so you save time, etc.</p>
<p>I looked at Barrons Chem SAT II. Some of the problems arent just simple calculations. I mean the questions there require you to find like atoms in X grams of compound.</p>
<p>yeah in kaplan some of the q's are pretty hard they involve like multiplying 137 or some odd number etc.. its not really hard but it is time consuming and errors can be made.</p>
<p>Aren't those numbers incorporated into the answer choices anyway? They leave them 'un-multiplied', etc. For example, if they were asking for the number of moles in a gas sample using PV = nRT, they would leave the answers as PV/RT instead of the entire answer as one numerical term.</p>
<p>don't cheat! if you get caught...</p>
<p>It's designed to be done without a calculator.</p>
<p>The reason that you can't use a calculator is because you don't NEED a calculator on any of them problems. All of the math boils down to like 1/4 * 8 or something as easy. </p>
<p>And in agreement with the people above...</p>
<p>Don't Cheat!</p>
