<p>How are you preparing for the chemistry SAT2 in october? any tips?</p>
<p>I have heard a lot of good things about the Barrons prep book (although I have not taken the test). </p>
<p>EDIT: This is taken from another thread:
"- Barron's (B, E) Rec 2: (A, C)
1: The practice tests are nothing like the real thing, but the book is still a good review of EVERYTHING in high school chem.
2: Some extra information, but not too much.
Recommender's score: 800.</p>
<ul>
<li>Princeton Review (A, B, G) Rec 2: (B, C)
Recommender's score: 770.
Recommender 2's comment: Lacks some information, and is extremely brief and easy. However, it's good to use to learn material you don't know. The third practice test contains a lot of material that was not covered by the book, and is thus very difficult. This book isn't enough for someone who wants to get an 800.
Recommender 2's score: 760. </li>

<p>Chemistry: Barron's worked very well. There was some unneccessary information, but it's fairly well done. I did a few practice tests and skimmed the topics that were confusing or unfamiliar to me. For me, the T/T/CE section was the hardest, but this book had questions that prepared me for the test very well. Score: 790 (On practice tests I got 730s-760s)</p>
<p>LEGEND</p>
<p>A - Accurate practice tests.
B - Good for learning material you don't know.
C - Easy to read and understand.
D - Not a lot of superfluous material.
E - Teacher recommendation.
F - Slightly harder than the real thing. (Write F+ if it's a lot harder than the real thing)
G - Good practice questions (outside of the practice tests)
H - A lot of practice tests (more than 4)"</p>
<p>Thanks that helps a lot!</p>
