<p>I took honors chem freshman year and am currently enrolled in ap chem as a junior. I did well in honors, and I'm doing okay in ap (highs 80s/mid 90), but I'm not sure I should take the SAT II. I already took Bio and did well on it, as well as a world history, and will be taking US history and one of the math ones. I have opted out of taking the spanish one because language isn't my strength. Is the sat II chem hard? Is it even worth me taking it?</p>
<p>I think the Chem is one of the better tests. Get a study book and as long as you know your mols and sig figs (lol) you should be fine.</p>
<p>It depends on your scores till date. If you've already got/ will get 750 plus in 3 tests, there's very little point in doing another. (Save for hubris, or personal testing) But then, this is coming from a person who took 5, :). </p>
<p>SAT Chem has a generous curve, but it tends to be a bit tricky at times, if you're not concentrating. (I kept getting high 700's but I couldn't break 800 until a few days before the test, then it was pretty consistent)</p>
<p>You need to get into a frame of mind for SAT Chem that requires quite a bit of practice...</p>
<p>In addition, are you planning on majoring in something Chem related/applying to a primarily engineering/technological college? If so, then taking Chem might be worthwhile. I'd say it's a decision you've got to make based upon whether you feel it'll be worthwhile to you in the admissions process (captain obvious here :D)</p>
<p>I think if you get a reviewbook and take enough tests - you should get 750+</p>
<p>like, Shrivats, I too kept getting high 700's and only once did I even get an 800 on the practice test - but come test day I got an 800</p>
<p>SAT Chem is not even close to being as hard as Bio - the curve is better too!</p>
<p>yea, just get some review books (PR is pretty good for chem ive heard) and see how you do
if you think you can do well then take the test</p>
