<p>Hey guys. I'm taking both the Chem and Math II Subject tests in June and I'm wondering if there are any tips all you 800ers out there could offer me. To give some background, Math is my best subject. I'm in the accelerated/AP curriculum at my school and I'm pretty confident I got a 5 on the AP Calc AB exam (though I know this is not tested on Math II). Chem is arguably my next best subject and I just took AP Chem this year and am confident of a 4, probably a 5.<br>
Well, I guess that's about it. Oh and I purchased the Barrons books for both tests. I've heard (and first hand experienced) the difficulty of Barrons and am hoping that will make the real tests seem like pieces of cake.
Thanks again guys.</p>
<p>For Chem: Compared to the AP, it is a lot less math-oriented and seemed to be much more conceptual. I took one practice exam from Princeton Review and got a 780, and took an official study guide one and got a 760. On the real thing I got an 800. So really, I thought it was mostly helpful to review the concepts and find out my gray areas with practice exams. Princeton Review did it for me.</p>
<p>For Math II: I was in Precalc this year so I didn’t have to study much. For you, you might have to a brush up a bit on Precalc stuff. I felt like you pretty much had to know everything, lol. I only used official study guide tests and self-studied any material I didn’t know from online resources like Khan Academy, based on what they expect you to know. I know Barron’s overprepares you, so make sure you know what to actually study. Pulled off an 800 though.</p>
<p>Good luck on your tests!</p>
