<p>has this test changed in recent history, specifically 1997. i have this review book from the library and the test seems rather easy. does anybody know if the test has changed?</p>

<p>Also, the practice test in this book says that 15 wrong is still a 720. is this accurate? seems rather generous.......</p>

<p>Bump, I'd like to know the curve of the SAT 2 Chem test based on previous takers, if anyone has that</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

3

<p>Its pretty generous...I took a practice test and got 12 wrong and still got a 750.</p>

4

<p>You can get 6 wrong and get an 800.</p>

5

<p>Yup; there is a fairly massive curve on the Chem test. Someone told me it was 10 questions, but I doubt that's true.</p>

6

<p>I would pay more attention to your percentile rather than your score out of 800.</p>

this is a complete chart showing raw score and scaled score</p>

<p>That's definitely wrong. I have the Real SAT II: Subject Tests book and it says you can get 6 wrong and get an 800.</p>

9

<p>Yeah...theoneo is totally correct.</p>

10

<p>according to barrons, a 75 out of 85 is still 800. to get a 750 you need only 65 points. It seems a little to generous though.</p>

<p>ok i took a sat 2 chem practice and it's insane...seriously. first, no calculator, so the log stuff you have to know. ok and then they dont even give you the electron structure on the periodic table (like the 2-6-2 electron arrangement thing)...so every time you do bonding you have to figure out how many outside electrons it has yourself. how the hell is that possible?? ionno its too much memorizing. and all the formulas on the reference tables - nothing, nada, the only thing they give you is just a periodic table with atomic numbers. atomic numbers! the most useless info ever. is everyone just planning to memorize thw hole reference table? :/</p>

12

<p>theres no reference table?????? i'm gonna die</p>

13

<p>oh for the log stuff (figuring out pH)...</p>

<p>say [H+] = 1 x 10^-6
the pH is 6
or 7, or 14, or 2... whatever the exponent is.
just an easy rule to remember for pH.</p>

14

<p>are teh barrons practice test hard... cause im in ap chem and get less wrong on those practice multiple choice!!</p>
