<p>Can any one advise?</p>
<p>The best time to take the test is when you are ready. “The curve” is what makes it irrelevant which administration you select.</p>
<p>The biggest secret to doing well on the Chemistry SAT – Know the stuff!!</p>
<p>Do the SAT II Chem and AP Chem test cover roughly the same amount of material?</p>
<p>you have to know all the topics from AP chem, but not nearly in as much detail. the only difference though, is that you can get a 60% on AP and get a 5, but you need to get a majority of the questions on the SAT II chem correct in order to pull off an 800.</p>
<p>as for the curve, it makes no difference. it’ll be 10, maybe 20 points, max. like BigIs said, the right time to take it is when you’re prepped and ready.</p>
<p>“…but you need to get a majority of the questions on the SAT II chem correct in order to pull off an 800.”</p>
<p>Quite a bit more than 50% right, in fact.</p>
