SAT II Chem Question

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Next year I will be a senior and taking AP Chem (considered 2nd year chem at my school). I took 1st year my sophmore year, but as a result of scheduling conflicts, I am not in AP Chem. I aced chem, and am fairly quick at picking up new concepts. Since I have to review for AP Chem anyways, would taking SAT II Chem my senior year be a viable option? Will studying a textbook for Chem, one for AP Chem, and a SAT II Study Guide over summer prepare me well enough to take the test fall of my senior year and do well? If so, which books would you recommend? </p>

<p>I'm not sure where I want to apply yet; do many schools require 3 SAT II's (as opposed to two, possibly making this a non-issue)? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I was in the same position as you. I took the chem SAT in december and got a 780. Of course, I prepared like crazy for it using the kaplan review book.</p>

<p>Definitely. I was 3 months into my AP Chem class when I took my SATII and I got an 800. I prepped non-stop (and I literally mean non-stop. Think 14 hours/day) for 3 weeks with Barron's and PR and I can't put into words how valuable those books are. Definitely the best books you can get for this test.</p>
