College Discussion - View Single Post - SAT Chem question thread

lolcats4 · 04-25-2008, 01:05 AM

I haven't taken the chem sat (going to May 3), but I've taken a year of college chemistry, which is way too thorough of prep for the satII chem.

I wouldn't tell you to NOT study anything as that would be stupid. It highly depends on the score you want - if you're aiming for 800 you NEED to cover everything, and YES it's a lot. I'm going through this myself :P

But, if you need to prioritize, I would NOT focus much on these:

Electrochemistry
Environmental Chem
Organic Chem
Equilibrium and Reaction Rates (although imo these are very easy)

And you'll always get some random question that you either know or you don't. The one in the college board official practice test was, what iwould you find in household bleach - obviously looking up the chemical makeup of common compounds would be a waste of time!
