<p>I've been trying to get a solid grip on sat chem for a while,
but every time i turn to a new book, i realize there's always so much
more to learn. It's actually quite annoying because now i'm confused.</p>
<p>I scored 780 on the first two Princeton review tests and then
a disastrous 660 on the third (it was actually full of *** questions-please someone agree with me)</p>
<p>and then i turned to barron's the other day
and ran into a bunch of "lab questions" i'd neverseen before.</p>
<p>So how hard are the "lab" qusetions on the actual test going to be?
and what score am i looking at if i scored a 720-750 range on a Barron's test?</p>
<p>720-750 on Barrons means you’re probably going to score around 760-800 and probably capable of an 800 if you wouldn’t be able to get it right now. On the Princeton tests I agree with you. I got a 770, then a 790, then a 700. The third test was much harder than the first two and full of some pretty ridiculous questions.</p>
<p>How much do you need to know about lab? I think the lab section in Princeton + the lab section in Barrons should cover pretty much everything (but don’t bother memorizing those tests for certain elements/compounds in Barrons, and the colors of sulfides, etc…although flame colors would be a good idea to memorize).</p>
<p>Thanks yamster.
Do they actually have real lab questions on the official test (like the ones that give you
a bizzare diagram of some vague experiment and tell u 'refer to this for say, questions 40-45)? cuz i hate those…</p>
<p>Also, can anyone comment on Kaplan Chem?
I found it so much easier than the barron’s
but then again, i’ve heard people say that kaplan is trash.</p>
