<p>What range is considered a good score for the Chem SAT II?</p>
<p>Anything over 700 is decent. Competitively, 750 is pretty much the standard.</p>
<p>^ exactly right.</p>
<p>(Brag:) I got 780 ^_^</p>
<p>only a 780? i see community college in your future. lol :)</p>
<p>everybody here makes me feel dumb. i got a 660. but is everybody here a senior cuz i took it my sophmore year</p>
<p>Don't feel bad nets_balla you can always take it again if you want a better score. You could either buy a prep book or check one out from the library if they have one avaliable and look through it before taking the test. Don't worry about it, everyone on CC is super super geniuses, but 660 is a really good, solid score.</p>
<p>I took chem my sophmore year, I got a bad score though on another SAT II: SAT II Biology in Freshman year, 630. whcih is generally because I was just very bad in Biology (B in the class), and im not planning to retake it since I guess Im just bad at Bio....:(</p>
<br>
<p>690, although at the top of the college spectrum >740 will be in order.</p>

<p>"everybody here makes me feel dumb. i got a 660. but is everybody here a senior cuz i took it my sophmore year"</p>
<p>-not true. i took it sophomore year and got a 790. it's an easy test, if you go through the prep books pretty thoroughly there's no excuse for getting a low score.</p>
<p>yeah seriously. it's an easy test. if you read a prep book (barron's, princeton review etc.) you should get above a 750. i got an 800 as a sophomore and thought it was ridiculously easy. the only thing that was a little hard was that there were so many places to make stupid mistakes...</p>
<p>I agree (about it being easy to make stupid mistakes)...while on the practice tests I usually finished 20 minutes early on the actual test I left about 5 questions blank cause I couldnt finish, I guess it was cause I was just checking over the answers too much and lost time for that</p>
<p>^ Yeah I have to agree. I found myself checking over the answers to some of the questions 3-5 times. That really caused me to waste a lot of time and I think that might have been the difference between a 790 and 800.</p>
<p>What prep book is the best, if one is to study for the chemistry test???</p>
<p>I heard Barron's and Princeton Review are pretty good, with Barrons being slightly better, but I am still unsure.</p>
<p>Thanks...</p>
<p>princeton review is the best. their content review is very good and the practice tests are accurate. try Barron's if you want really hard practice tests.</p>
<p>It was painful trying to do some of the math in my head, especially when I knew I was taking Math 2 right after it, and knowing the math on the AP is much more straightforward (on the MC questions). Barron's SAT II helped, but really, I have to say since I was studying for the AP, I really didn't need much prep book material. If you have time and you want to overkill it and "ensure" an 800 as much as possible (if it's possible :P ), pick up the Barron's AP Chemistry Book. That thing got me (and my older brother) 800s on the Chem test easy.</p>
<p>I didnt really do math, I just guestimated for most of em - i didnt have time to do the exact math, and thankfully none of the questions really asked for exact percision so it worked out nicely</p>
<p>same, that's exactly what i did.</p>
<p>just read the PR review book front to back
well, paying attention in AP Chem class won't hurt either..</p>
<p>I got an 800 by doing ^^^
and the curve is actually pretty generous for this test.. about 5 wrong = 800?</p>

<p>"-not true. i took it sophomore year and got a 790. it's an easy test, if you go through the prep books pretty thoroughly there's no excuse for getting a low score."</p>
<p>PKswmr76 Do you realize how condescending and discouraging that sounds? Especially to someone who DID prepare and still got less than 700 ( assuming that is in fact a "low" score) ?</p>
