SATII Chemistry Advice

<p>At my school, which is college preparatory and generally pretty good academically, the highest level of Chemistry is Sophomore year Honors.</p>

<p>Is Honors Chem. really enough for the SATII? From what I've seen in the books, I feel like I don't know half of what the questions asked. I guessed at the questions using what felt like common sense only to be shocked that the answer seemed to be the least obvious.</p>

<p>I know that if I memorize the PR book maybe I'll have a good shot at doing OK but does any one else feel like they are underprepared as of right now?</p>

<p>I am starting to fear that my H. Chem. class isn't holding up to the standards; but maybe the SATII was designed for college-level Chem. courses and not the advertised college-preparatory ones...</p>

<p>I'm worried. Thanks.</p>

<p>The SATIIs generally for any subject cover a little more than what your high school class may have taught you. The basic knowledge of the subject is the same but the SATII might test more material. As long as you know your class material and study for the SATII with a prep book you'll do fine. (And also the SATII Test books tend to be harder than the tests themselves, but don't use that as a cushion, use that as a goal.) Hope that helps, good luck.</p>

<p>I'd say to do well (700+) on the SAT Chem test, you'd need to be in a second year chemistry class, whether it be AP or Honors or whatever, or have a decent work ethic. I'm in AP Chem, admittedly, I'm not a great student, but I've only been getting 650-680. Hopefully I'll be able to get that up before the test, but I have so much other stuff to do. Sadly, we've covered everything, but I've just forgotten it all.</p>

<p>You're not the only one worrying. Considering the type of school you go to, I think that you'll do fine. Just study that PR Book.</p>
