<p>I got a 670. I just paid mild amounts of attention during my AP Chemistry class’s review for the AP exam two days after the SAT II Chemistry exam. I’m pretty sure the multiple choice section of the AP exam was easier. I thought I did pretty bad on the subject test. My scores pretty much confirmed my suspicions. </p>
<p>But, I’m not going to be bothering with a retake. For two years of chemistry and no studying, it’s acceptable. </p>

<p>740… If I’m not applying to any top 20 schools, should i retake?</p>

No need to retake. There is really not much difference between a 790 and an 800. Colleges will think there is seriously something wrong with you if you want to retake to get 10 points back. Besides, there is no reason to excessively deep throat the College Board</p>
<p>Ha, 720. For all of you with 750+ and still whining about having to retake, I am not sure if you are trolling or not but whoever told you you need an 800 to get into Ivy Leagues is lying. Go start an organization to help the poor, it will take the same amount of time as studying for and retaking an SAT test and boost your application a lot more than 10 extra points.</p>
<p>I would be more devastated if I wasn’t sure I did better on the AP test, and honestly, I’m happy with 700+.</p>
<p>@rhapsody17 This probably won’t be of much help, but I did no prep aside from paying close attention to my AP Chem teacher, who happens to be fantastic beyond my capabilities of explaining over the internet. Because of him and him directly, I did zero studying throughout pretty much the entire year, yet by most if not all standards cracking open a book wouldn’t have helped. The SAT date was two days before the AP Chem exam, so I figured (hoped, really) that being ready for one would mean I was ready for the other. So I took the exam, and that was that.</p>
<p>Congrats on the great scores, guys. Looks like a lot of people got 750+. I’m trying to prep for the test in June, but I haven’t taken an AP Chem course so its gonna be harder for me. I have trouble with questions like these:</p>
<p>Ex) Which is not a dilute solution of sulfuric acid?
A. NaNO3
B. Na2S
C. Na3PO4
D. Na2CO3
E. NaOH</p>
<p>Ex)Which of the following salts will hydrolize in water to form basic solutions?
I. NaCl
II. CuSO4
III. K3PO4</p>
<p>some answer choice (doesnt matter)</p>
<p>So, my main question is how do you guys approach these problems. I feel like I don’t have enough knowledge or familiarity with all these different substances</p>
Hey guys, what books would you suggest using to study for the exam?
