Memorization for the Chemistry?

<p>For the SATII Chem, should I memorize in-depth information like heat of formations, pressures of gases, etc.? Or will I be safe just being familiar with these? The prep book I'm using has tables in the back, and they're making me nervous.....</p>

<p>Any help or other tips are greatly appriciated, since I'm taking chem, world history, and math Ic, and chemistry is worrying me the most. I think I'll go gray before I ever get into college, lol.</p>

<p>I'm taking chemistry. Chemistry is largely dependant on memorization to begin with (not all of course) so I think that memorizibg a few things that would help you in the test is not as bad an idea as you might think.</p>

<p>All the stuff you're talking about, if they want information using it in the problem, they give it to you.</p>

<p>I took chem II in may, not memorizing any of the specific numbers. Basic stuff you have to know: specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gram celsius...</p>

<p>no need to memorize heat of formation for compounds, or pressures of gases.</p>

<p>SAT II chem is a joke (at least to me) I did no studying (apart from the in-class studying we did for the AP test in may) and I got a 790.</p>

<p>bump, anyone else? (and thanks evilbooya)</p>

<p>It would be ridiculous if you had to memorize all those numbers. Any numbers you need, you'll be given.</p>

<p><em>whew</em> I really hate memorization, so this makes me feel a bit better, thanks!</p>

<p>Yeah, it really isnt as bad as most prep books make it out to be.</p>

<p>no need to memorize specific heat and those constants.</p>
