Hopefully some insight if Chem is still being considered:
Chem is reputedly harder ('tho i didn’t think so) than the other sciences to get an 800 on because ETS can test you on such a range. Self-studying should be no problem if your D is motivated enough though, laurensmom - I’m not particularly bright, and did well (800) Oct of senior year after studying for about 2 weeks (albeit at breakneck pace). I do IB, so only half of it had really been covered, but the thing is the Chem SAT II goes into very little depth so studying from Barrons was more than enough preparation. Rather, I found Barrons was ridiculously thorough and ended up skimming over Kaplan, which I found pretty good.

I’m afraid I have no exp with SAT Phys - but friends tell me it’s a piece of cake…
