What obscure things do you need to know for SAT II Chemistry?

<p>I’ve taken AP Chem, but honestly, I am often stumped by seemingly obscure recall questions on SAT practice tests. What are the things you recommend every student memorize?</p>

<p>Here’s some recalls that I’m worried will showing up on the test:
flame tests
ion and H2S solution colors
solubility exceptions
acid-base strong-weak salty-spicy sriracha-soy rules
random polyatomic ions
common/household names (like bleach is naclo or something, how would anyone who’s never touched bleach before ever know that?)
organic functional groups
lab rules or things (thistle what?)</p>

<p>anyone care to enlighten me on which of these things I should memorize? Thanks!</p>

<p>I just took AP chem, and with a little review I did well on the subject test. You probably don’t have to memorize the random stuff :)</p>
