I took the chemistry subject test two weeks ago without having taken AP Chem and thought I did fine. Take a practice test and see how you do, I think you’ll be surprised.

Hmm…I bought Barron’s for chem, but didn’t really use it to study for the subject test. However, it was really in-depth (which I appreciate), and I read through a few chapters during the year to help with unit tests in school. I found that my honors class was sufficient for the SAT II and pretty much covered everything, and all I really ended up doing was a bunch of practice tests at the bookstore. Like, I took ALL 20 or so tests in the current and previous editions of PR, all the tests in 5 Steps, a test from Kaplan (don’t recommend, the test was bs), all the released exams including the ones from the 1900s, and two from Barron’s.

I obviously don’t know my score yet, but I think I got over a 750. I was averaging 780 on the PR ones and got a ~720 on the Barron’s one, which I wasn’t too happy about, but people say Barron’s is a lot harder, so not really complaining.
