<p>Right, just because a molecule has polar bonds doesn’t mean it is polar. A molecule can have polar covalent bonds that can “cancel” each other out, resulting in a nonpolar molecule. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sparknotes has a good section on that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’ll probably be higher, but no telling how much. Anywhere from 750-800.</p>
<p>Also, did anyone take Sparknotes test #3? The diagram of a heating curve was missing (questions 64-66 I think).</p>
<p>alright well im just going to go through like eveyr practice test tomorrow cya guys. best of luck.</p>
<p>i keep getting wrecked by barrons =[ like 70s =[</p>
<p>Hey quick question for chem! Are we given periodic tables?</p>
<p>^Yep! They’re at the beginning of the test.</p>
<p>Thanks! I got scared for a sec.</p>
<p>As far as organic chemistry goes, do we need to know the names for the different types (amine, etc.)? I haven’t seen it on either of the tests I’ve taken (I don’t think), but it’s been in the two books I’ve looked at.
Also, is PR a good indication of score? I did really well on one today, but I feel that the reason is it was easy.</p>
<p>Yeah, there is a missing set of diagrams in the last sparknotes test. It’s really annoying.</p>
<p>I got 750-760-750 on the three sparknotes tests… Is that on track for an 800? :/</p>
<p>I would definitely say yes. For sparknotes, 700+ basically = 800 on the real thing.</p>
<p>Just a basic question here. How long are the tests? We’re taking Chemistry and Latin, as we just finished a year of chem, and just finished our fourth and last year of Latin, and test is only offered once a year, so taking both together.</p>
<p>Are they just one hour and all multiple choice?</p>
<p>Can you bring a calculator for chemistry?</p>
<p>No prep on these at school at all. Most people don’t take them. Taking them just in case one of the colleges I want to apply to requests them. Figure I’d take them right after the class.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you and thanks for the info!</p>
<p>Montegut, they are 1 hour each.
Yes, all MC, yes calculator.</p>
<p>You can’t use a calculator on the chemistry tests.</p>
<p>No calculator on test day :)</p>
<p>oh shoot my bad, got mixed up with AP =/</p>
<p>woops! no calculator! haha, but the calculations are VERY simple… which is a good thing because if you find yourself with a super hard math problem, you know you’ve messed up :p</p>
<p>oh and, theres a funky “T T CE” section… also somewhat in MC format, but yeah.</p>
<p>Is it just me hoping, or are the Barrons calculations much more difficult than the actual SAT?</p>
<p>Some of them are ridiculous.</p>
<p>But they’ll let use a calculator just for stored information right? I wouldn’t use it to calculate.</p>
<p>^Why wouldn’t you?</p>
<p>naw no calculator at all :p</p>
<p>Yes Barron’s calculations are basically impossible without a calculator. I just took practice test 3 in barron’s and thought it was ridiculous (I got a 670ish). I also took practice test 2 in PR yesterday, which i thought was really easy (760ish). Is it possible for me to break 750?</p>
