Sat2 chemistry prep advice

Archive SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Okay, so this year I completed an introductory chemistry course using apologias “exploring creation with chemistry”. I enjoyed chemistry and since i’m home schooled I decided I should take the SAT2 chemistry subject test to validate my learning for both myself and for my resume. I took one of the practice tests from the college board site and quickly discovered that the apologia book had not been comprehensive enough to fully prepare me to take the test. So I plan on taking the test in October or November of 2012, and would like some advice on how to prepare. I’ve heard that the barons “How to Prepare for the Sat II Chemistry” is good but would the information be sufficient for someone who’s never seen it before to learn from? Or is it more just for review? Also is there anything else i can do, besides taking and studying the practice tests, to prep for the test?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>Barron’s chemistry subject test book is very complicated and hard to read. It also give you so much useless information for the test. I would not recommend this book for the test. However McGraw Hill’s SAT Subject test Chemistry review book is great. It’s easy to read yet it’s still comprehensive. For someone who doesn’t know all the material, this review book would be the best. It also contains 5 practice test which are pretty accurate to the test. I would recommend studying from this book in order to learn new material.</p>

<p>The Princeton Review chem book also has pretty accurate practice tests. If you can score well on those I’m pretty sure you’ll do well on the actual exam.</p>
