<p>On the actual test, have any of you seen a question asking you to calculate the rate constant??</p>
<p>I reviewed Barrons and tried a Kaplan test and there was a question about rate constant. I don't think I saw any question about rate constant while I took 6 practice from Barrons. </p>
<p>Another question is do I need to know about Zefu? and stuff like that? I saw something like that when I just quickly went through sparknotes. </p>
<p>Finally, do Barrons cover everything? I see some new stuff (some hard stuff) in Kaplan. Sparknotes seems somewhat consistent with Barrons and PR but some things in Kaplan are just things that I have not seen before. </p>
<p>Do you guys think, I should try studying some stuff from Kaplan now? or just review for few days until the test ?</p>
<p>I am currently in AP chemistry and I have to say that rate constants would be too much of a big part of kinetics to not be tested on. So you can bet it will be on there. Our teacher makes us buy the Barron's book for review before the AP test. I suggest you get AP test prep books AND a subject test prep book. GOOD LUCK! :-)</p>
<p>You probably will have to calculate some type of rate, whether for equilibrium or kinetics. but be mindful that since you can not use a calculator, the numbers are easy and work out. the hard part is just setting up the expression.</p>
<p>i do remember from my experience having to calculate an equilibrium rate. and ETS will definitely ask you, if they don't ask you for the math, what the expression looks like. (ie. [A]**^2 or [O2][H2O]/[H2O2])</p>
