What raw score to aim for Chem practice books

<p>Hi all,
I am taking the SAT 2 Chem in June. I have both the Barron's book and Kaplan book. I am aiming for a 800 on the real test(i want to do well on the SAT2s because my SAT 1 is really really bad), </p>

<p>so i just want to know what raw score range should i get on each of the practice books?
(the Barron's math curve was really crazily lower than the score realistically, is it similar for chem?)</p>

<p>If you have any tips on review, feel free to add that too! </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>bump?
can someone please give me a reply?</p>

<p>I think that the books have a pretty good curve. Usually, the chemistry has a more lenient curve than biology. I believe the Bio curve is usually around 1-3 questions wrong for an 800. The chem may allow 4 or even 5 wrong and still hit an 800 (remember that there are 85 questions). This is just my best guess.</p>

<p>i know that i can get more than 10 wrong and still get an 800 for the real one
but i want to know how hard the real one is compare to the prep books
and i am mainly asking about Barron's</p>

<p>Approximately what should i get on the Barron's for an 800 on the real SAT2 Chem test?</p>

5

<p>10 wrong and 800? i don't think so.</p>

6

<p>It's usually 3-4 wrong on the real test for an 800.</p>

<p>From easiest to difficult:</p>

<p>Kaplan
PR tests 1-2
Real test
Sparknotes
Barron's
PR test 3</p>

<p>then what's up with the barron's curve?</p>

<p>cuz my friends get like 20 wrong on barron's and still got an 800 on the real one</p>

<p>so does that mean if i get like 16 wrong and 750 according to the Barron's score chart, i have a very good chance at 800 on the real test?</p>

<p>according to the thread linked above</p>

<p>On the last Barron's test I did the night before the test, I got 4 wrong. I got 4 wrong on the real test too. There isn't much of a difference.</p>
