<p>I'm currently in AP Chem and plan to take the Chem SAT II and AP Chem test. I am probably going to get the PR AP review Chem book. Should I still do some other studying for Chem SAT II? Going for 800. </p>
<p>Not to toot my own horn, but I am pretty good at AP Chemistry, but not as good at honors chemistry(A first semester, B second semester). That might have had something to do with me slacking off freshman year and shaping up junior year(now).</p>
<p>Any history other than the atomic theory and various experiments regarding the atom's structure(Dalton, Rutherford, Thomson, Millikan etc.)?</p>
<p>What is the hardest math on the exam? Just some stoichiometry along with understanding of concentration units?</p>
<p>Is there anything on the exam that is considered incorrect? For example, in Honors Chem you learn that H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) gives off 2 protons completely so 0.1 M H2SO4 would result in 0.2 M H+ while in AP chem you learn that the first proton comes off completely and the second proton comes off in small amounts (equillibria).</p>
<p>yeah I have the same predicament - I think we should get the chem books for AP and SAT if only to familiarize ourselves with the two test formats</p>
<p>OK, SAT Chem is less about the actual theory, which is simple enough. It's about the style of the test. (TTCE's and the like). If you're going for an 800 (I was too. :)), then the primary aim is to take as many practice tests as you can. That's the only way you'll understand the rhythm of the test, which is a bit different from the other SAT's. Other than that, an 800 is certainly possible without books, but you'll have to get some practice tests from elsewhere...</p>
<p>if your in AP Chem and have a good teacher, you shouldn't really need a review book
but you can get Collegeboard's book with real sat 2s and take the chem test to see where you probably stand</p>
<p>True/True with Correct Explanation. It's a series of 15 questions on the SAT II Chem. Basically that's what I'm talking about. You need the books not so much for the material, but for the test structure.</p>
<p>I got 100% on that. Does this indicate anything about my performance on the actual test?</p>
<p>The TTCE questions were the first time I had ever seen them and they do seem to be the hardest part of the SAT II, but they seem pretty easy.</p>
<p>Also, the fact that a calculator is not permitted makes me a lot more confident so you won't have to use any equations (less memorization) except for stoichiometry/dimensional analysis.</p>
