<p>So, I’m planning to take the SAT II Chemistry test, but I have never take an AP or Honors class for Chemistry. Will the concepts on the SAT II for Chemistry be rather difficult for me?</p>
<p>Have you taken any chemistry class? The concepts go beyond what the typical Honors class covers but not quite as in-depth as AP.</p>
<p>Yes, regular high school chemistry though.</p>
<p>Try a practice test and see how you do. It will probably be difficult to break 650 unless you do some self-studying.</p>
<p>Yeah, I plan to study for 2 months.</p>
<p>I’m interested in this question. I’ve taken an honors class for Chemistry and had to learn it for Academic Decathlon - I struggle with the subject and have forgotten most of the material.
I think Chemistry is just a difficult subject overall. I don’t know if it’s just me or if the subject really is that difficult. I learned pretty well with a teacher, so I think prior exposure definitely helps. I can’t say if you’d find the topics incomprehensible because for all I know, you could just have a natural knack for it. I think you’d fare better either way if you had access to someone who understood Chemistry and could answer or explain any questions.
From what I’ve gathered, a month is adequate time to study for the Chem SAT II so two months should be even better. I have Barron’s, since Princeton allegedly misses a topic or two. I wish you the best of luck.</p>
