I'm wondering if it's ok to do all the mulitiple choice questions first and then do the True/False/CE ones if there is time left over?

i dont know, but damn that part of the test is hard (hardest IMO)

You can do it however you want...

Of course it's ok to do so. Though I personally find that I tend to make mistakes towards the end of any test, and since the T/F questions aren't necessarily easy I personally wouldn't put them off 'til the end. But whatever works for you.

I'd say that if you want to try it like that, you should take a few practice tests using that technique to get used to it. However, I agree with dolcevalse that you're probably more likely to mess up a bit towards the end.

Is the propensity to mess-up because of fatigue? Or because the questions at the end of the multiple choice section are more difficult?

To me, the T-F-CE questions are 3x more difficult because it's like having to answer three questions in one! Is a T-F-CE question worth the same amount as a multiple choice question?

They're worth the same amount. I don't think they're that hard, unless you get two Ts and it's debatable if it's CE

But yes you can skip around and do them in whatever order you want to

SGP, I think it's true for any test that people tend to make mistakes towards the end due to fatigue. Especially for the SAT Chem exam - 85 questions in 60 minutes! Doesn't leave you much time to breathe, or think thoroughly through many things.

Sigh. I get tripped up on those, marking "false" when the second statement is true but not a valid reason.
