<p>This is so gay, collegeboard instructs not to rip out the periodic table from the test. I was going to rip it out to save time and all. Anyone know what will happen if i rip it out?</p>
<p>man i agree it is so annoying to flip back to it ugghhhh. but i have no idea what will happen if you rip it. i think i might just do it. f*** 'em lol</p>
<p>Burn a periodic table into your eyelids? But, seriously, I'm probably just going to rip it and feign ignorance.</p>
<p>LMAO okay i'll rip it out too, unless the proctor specifically says not to. i'm afraid of being kicked out</p>
<p>speaking of the periodic table, does it have electron confirgurations on it? because the one in my Kaplan doesnt</p>
<p>You mean like 1s2 2s2 2p6? Aren't those pretty easy to just figure out?</p>
<p>Anyone know if the test tests you on the exceptions to those?</p>
<p>I don't think it does comisar...</p>
<p>Also, you should just memorize the periodic table, it's the best solution. Every element, from A-Z (or should I say, 1-109), along with atomic numbers, mass numbers, exact location on the PT, and the number of isotopes and charge numbers.
Just kidding. It's really not that hard to flip back to the PT if you need it, believe me, that will be the least of your worries. I remember having studied a ton for the SAT chem when I took it, and I finished most of the questions with 25 mins to spare. That left a lot of time to flip back and look at the PT if need be.
If you're well prepared there shouldn't be any issue.</p>
<p>I don't think so either comisar.
GoldShadow, it is a big deal actually. I don't want to keep flipping back and forth thats bs. It's a big deal to me because I'm lazy.</p>
<p>How could it possibly matter if you rip out the table or not? That has nothing to do with your answer document... the only thing is, they probably don't want people tearing parts out of the test booklet for fear that people on the east coast would bring the questions home and email 'em to people in later time zones.</p>
<p>Have you actually taken the test before gmac? Believe me, it's a nonissue. I don't understand why you're so irritated by having to flip back to the PT occasionally. It's not as if every or even most of the questions require you to look at it. If I remember correctly, I didn't need to look at it very often.</p>
<p>Yeah that's true actually. I just took a practice test from Barron's yesterday, and I hardly needed to look at the PT.</p>
<p>I'll be flipping a lot then, because on the PR sat tests i had to look at the PT quite often. (i.e. mass numbers, groups, atomic numbers) it saves that much more time if i could rip it out instead of flipping back and forth</p>
<p>Man, rip it out if it bothers you that much. I guess it's good that all you're worrying about is this, because hopefully it means you know the material well enough that you don't have to worry about that.</p>
<p>memorize it!</p>
<p>Does anyone happen to know any websites good for the SAT Chem Test prep?</p>
<p>lmao i'm not going to memorize it, i'm not a friggin robot. jakor, you should get a review book.</p>
<p>I'm going to use the PR book but if anyone knows whether CollegeBoard posts old tests online or something that's be useful...</p>
<p>Isn't there a periodic table on your calculator?
My TI-83 silver came with one standard.</p>
<p>No calculator on the SAT II chem.</p>
<p>oh yea, my bad...:)</p>
