<p>So I signed up for Chem Subject test in June and now I'm really worried.
I'm only in regular chem course at my school, but we've done a good portion of what I believe is on the test (stoich, gas laws, states of matter, acid-base, organic chem, reaction rates) but I've been studying from the Barrons book and trying to self-learn alot of topics including orbitals, water calorimetry, crystallization, thermochemistry, and chemical equilibrium.</p>
<p>Do i still have a chance at 750+ if i mad study for the next two weeks or should i postpone this test?</p>
<p>Please help,
Thanks</p>
<p>Are you a sophomore or a junior?</p>
<p>If you’re a sophomore, and you’re planning to take chem AP next year, I would probably postpone (unless you have a really good reason to take it this year).</p>
<p>But if you need a test score for college apps, I would probably do it this year. You’ll forget most of the stuff over summer otherwise…</p>
<p>It’s not too bad - doesn’t go very in depth. Just be clear on the basic concepts, and be able to work stoichiometry/balancing problems under pressure.</p>
<p>I took it in May and felt a bit rushed with the problems that required math.
Also, make sure you’re comfortable with the TTCE question type…those are tricky. Read the two statements separately, decide if each is true, then read them together if both are true. If it is logical, mark CE.</p>
<p>Edit: Also, if you have time, familiarize yourself with some basic descriptive chemistry. Colors produced by flames of some common lab materials, what some common compound precipitates look like, etc. There isn’t alot on this, but they are easy points if you remember them.</p>
<p>I recommend against it. It’s pretty difficult to cram something conceptual like chemistry as opposed to straight facts (e.g. history). Wait till you’ve taken AP.</p>
