<p>Does everyone agree that the polymerization reaction had the n? There was another choice that seemed better!</p>
<p>yup polymerization is the reaction in which there is n variable</p>
<p>@Jarjarbinks23 How do you know that is the curve this year? Last year, it was 6 wrong = 800</p>
<p>@d0texe go google “sat 2 chem sparknotes” and look at the scoring chart. Anything more than 2 raw marks (which equates to 2 blank) is less than an 800. I wont be surprised if I got around a 720 or a 700 on this one, assuming the curve returns to this form this time around.</p>
<p>That -6 = 800 is shocking, there mustve been a lot of people who didnt know much about chemistry.</p>
<p>@Jarjarbinks23 The Princeton Review practice tests had around 7-8 wrong as being an 800, so I think I’m going to trust the curve from last year and Princeton Review over sparknotes…</p>
<p>@Jarjarbinks23 You have to remember that the test is out of 85, so you can omit 6 and still get an 800. (at least according to sparknotes)</p>
<p>We can request to rush scores only after the score is available online (22nd May) - am i correct?</p>
<p>Nope. You could order rush right now if you wanted. However, it takes about 2-3 days, so you have to consider whether it would be worth it, especially since scores come out next Thursday. I think it costs 30 dollars more for rush?</p>
<p>I just got a letter back from the ETS (very fancy) regarding the amphoteric substance question.</p>
<p>I think I’m wrong. Apparently, the question said “in an aqueous solution.” I think only HCO3- would be amphoteric in an aqueous solution (dissolved in water). While ammonia itself is amphoteric and therefore self-ionizes, it creates a basic solution when dissolved in water.</p>
<p>(I’m pretty sure I’m out for an 800 because of how ridiculously hard this one was on time for me (no double checking at all). ;~; So unlucky right before AP’s as well.)</p>
<p>guys! scores are coming out tomorrow and i’m kind of freaking out lol </p>
<p>lol me too. I’m probably not getting much sleep tonight</p>
<p>I got a 770. I’m feeling kind of ambivalent about this score; how many mistakes lead to a 770 and should I retake?</p>
<p>I got a 710. And I thought I did REALLY well. </p>

<p>Really wishing I went over polymerization reactions and read more carefully about the amphoteric question but I was so damn rushed. ;~; Thinking about retaking it in October for that 800 I was hoping for.</p>
<p>@drcharisma Honestly, based on my score I would say a bit more than a few (maybe 6-8) though I can’t say for sure without comparing with other people. If you think you should have gotten a higher score, you should retake it. I personally felt that this May test was difficult because of the time crunch and all the balancing; without that much, everybody most likely would have done a tad better anyway.</p>
<p>800! I might have missed a question, two tops.</p>
<p>730! Did way better than I expected but might retake to get above a 780 since im applying as STEM major</p>
<p>@CallMeJonah, @Capitalamerica: Great scores! How long did you prepare? What books did you use? Have you already taken AP Chem?</p>
<p>800! 
Might have missed 2 or 3 questions,especially the Relationship Analysis questions. Rushed through the set </p>
<p>@rhapsody17 I have indeed already taken AP chemistry, but the ways you apply concepts for the AP are a bit more complex than for the SAT. I principally used Barron’s, but I also recommend looking over Princeton Review. Barron’s did not go in-depth with organic reactions, and so I wasn’t able to answer the questions that pertained to that topics; however, PR does.</p>
<p>Also, Barron’s practice tests are a tad harder but in my opinion offer good practice. I usually scored around 760, but scored 800’s on PR. It was only the circumstances of this particular test that dropped me down a bit, so these two should usually be accurate.</p>
<p>I prepared over the year while I was learning all of chemistry, but only studied intensively for about a week or two.</p>

I’m not sure if 10 points if worth $25.</li>
