<p>I'm a sophomore and currently taking honors chemistry at school. It's a pretty hard class, with tons of workload and lots of difficult labs and tests. I got a B plus last semester and looking to keep up with my A this semester. </p>
<p>First of all, I'm not really sure why I'm even bothering to take the SAT chem. My counselor told me that it is usually good to take subject tests after you finished learning it at school, and I'm not taking any other subject tests or any kind of test this year so I decided to do it. But when you actually take it, what do you really do with the scores? I heard that good colleges require a few scores from subject tests... and I think I will take physics and bio later after I take the APs next year. (I'll be taking both AP Bio and APB Physics) So can you choose which scores you will send?</p>
<p>So, I got the Princeton Review book a few weeks ago and just started flipping through the pages. There will be some stuff that I'll have to learn on my own, but most of the stuff is review and more basic than the material I learn at school. But I feel like studying just the book is not going to get me perfectly prepared for it. Should I check out other sat prep books from barron's or something? Will reviewing the material from my school chem textbook help?</p>
<p>Lastly... I just started preparing for the test (beginning of April) and I'm guessing it's not too late, but not so early... I'll be taking it in June.
Any tips on how and how long I should study each day, and what specific areas I should focus on? I'm getting mixed opinions about the difficulty, and I'm most worried about the calculations stuff.</p>
