AP chem versus SAT2?

AP chem should prepare you pretty well. I took the chem subject test in May, and then took AP chem.

The chem subject test is definitely easier, but it can also be tricky. Make sure you know all your basic stuff. After a year of AP chem, I was surprised at how rusty I was at some basic concepts.

They’re two different test styles. I would possibly advise just going to a bookstore and browsing through one of the SAT Chem subject tests in a Princeton Review book. It will give you a feel for the question type.

Also, make sure you’re comfortable with TTCE type questions. There are 15 of these and they can be confusing. What I would do is read each statement separately and mark T or F for each, then read the statements together if both are true. Then mark CE if the explanation is logical.

Good luck.
