<p>Hi, i'm planning to take SAT chem on May,
and currently i'm taking AP chem at school.
So basically i need to study for both AP and SAT Chem.
For AP Chem exam in May, i'm going to study
AP Barrons book.
Would this prepare for my SAT chem too?
Is it that i need to study SAT II Barrons book too?
Are they different or something?</p>
<p>i need some advice. thx.</p>
<p>ap tests are usually more comprehensive then sat II tests. So I would say yes</p>
<p>yeah, your AP stuff will cover the SAT II... btw go for Princeton Review with AP Chem. It has everything you need to know for the test, and the practice problems and tests are awesome (and very close to the real test)</p>
<p>PR's AP chem seems a bit too terse on all subjects to me, I've only flipped through my copy though, I'll be really studying it next month. I also bought Barron's to supplement PR, it has much more examples but a lot of extraneous information.</p>
<p>the thing about Barrons is it has way to much info and way too many useless topics. I only used PR and I found the real test very easy (the moment I was finished I knew I had a 5). PR definately isnt easy because it has challenging AP-like questions. but IMO barron's is overstudying. you can get the same grade with PR, but with a lot less stress</p>
<p>What is the best book to use for SAT II?</p>
<p>Actually, I took AP chem last year and I'm thinking to take the SAT II sometime this year. Thing is, I forgot most of my chem (other than descriptive chem and atomic material) but there is a test in march. Would a month's studying be sufficient? Or is more recommended?</p>
<p>So everyone,
i need a consensus here,
so is it "yes"?</p>
<p>I'd say yes. It's what I'm doing also :) Just make sure you know some of the basic rules that experienced chemists know, such as two colorless solution form a white precipitate (or something like that).</p>
<p>Er. some say
i need to study for both sat II book and ap book.
errr</p>
