<p>are all 22 chapters covered on the SAT 2 chem test?</p>

<p>Scroll down to page 29.</p>

3

<p>Everything covered on the SAT II is covered in the AP test as well. The AP is much more detailed.</p>

4

<p>Isn’t it a bit early to start worrying about this? The earliest test is in October</p>

5

<p>wait, so if it covers similar topics as AP, is it just as hard? Or does the AP go WAAAYYYY more in detail?
I took AP Chem this yr, so if i just review that stuff, would i be able to ace the SAT 2 Chem?</p>

6

<p>There’s a LOT of overlap. But do a practice test or two, and just make sure you have all the bases covered. Another thing is, you’re probably going to forget a lot from now until October, so you’ll need to review things. Just go through some prep book.</p>

7

<p>what i mean was that if im set for ap chem (as in i review that versus a SAT II prep book) would i be set?
how hard is it too?</p>

8

<p>You’ll probably want to go over some practice TTCE questions.</p>

<p>Actually, it’s not actually the best move to review AP chem, because a lot of it is more in depth than the SAT II. Just get the PR SAT chem book or something-- it’s worth it.</p>

<p>Also, you should definitely know the colors of common transition metal ions, and the colors of certain metals when put into flame.</p>

<p>yea, we had to do the latter for Qual Lab in chemistry
thx</p>
