<p>How accurate are they? </p>

<p>Are they easier or harder than the real thing?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

2

<p>I thought they were pretty good. I thought they were just a little bit harder than the real thing.</p>

3

<p>Quite a bit harder. My scores on them were 680, 720, 620. My score on the real thing was 800</p>

4

<p>The test questions they have are very similar to the actual exam's, only with a harsher curve. I scored 740, 730, and 740 on them and scored 800 on the actual exam this past June.</p>

5

<p>i scored 690, 750, 760 and scored 790 in the real thing (wow...a lot of 800s i see )
I mean i thought they were actually about the same in difficulty but the curve on the real thing was more generous</p>

6

<p>does the real test contain sigma and pi bonds, & hybridization?</p>

7

<p>Yes. Know them</p>

8

<p>@lolcats4</p>

<p>why was your 3rd SN test score lower than the first 2 scores?</p>

<p>just curious</p>

9

<p>I guess I was having a bad day or something. I was trying really hard to get an 800 on it though lol</p>

10

<p>do they test electrochemistry and transition metals as well?
oh wait how about organic chemistry.. is it tested as well?</p>

11

<p>A little bit of each of those</p>

12

<p>the questions were the same difficulty
a lot of questions from sparks were on the June test so they're definitely worth it</p>

13

<p>i just got a 690 on a test but 1 of my answers didnt go through that was actually right..do you think that would have given me a 700?</p>

<p>also does anyone know anything of the curve on the SN tests?</p>

14

<p>The curve is much harsher for the SN tests - basically, if you're scoring 700+, you're more or less guaranteed around a 780-800. Also, 800 for the June Chemistry SAT II was 95th percentile, so the curve is usually not too bad on the actual exam.</p>

15

<p>sorry same idea, but what did you guys score on PR Tests?</p>

<p>i didnt want to waste space by making a new thread so i thought to continue from here.</p>

<p>i took the first test from it, and i was quite disappointed because i got a 670, why is that? i was scoring higher on the SN & Barrons tests</p>
