>> Fabulous resource to prepare for SAT Chemistry Subject Test
My son didn t sign up quickly enough to take the Chemistry subject test in June when the material would have been fresh so we were looking for a good review book to prepare him for the test in the Fall I can t say enough about this book It provides great review material and three complete tests with answers and explanations
My son took the first test without doing any review he scored a 530 He then read the explanations for the answers he missed and started skimming the review sections for any gaps in knowledge A couple of days later he took the second test and scored a 630 woohoo definite progress Again he read the explanations for the answers he missed and did more review He took the third test a few days before the actual exam and scored a 680 on that one Again a little more review and he was set for the actual test Because the subject tests deduct points for incorrect answers one of the most valuable things my son learned from this process was to not answer questions he didn t know especially those he couldn t narrow the answer down with certainty to a 50 50 choice
Test day came and he was completely relaxed and confident I won t give his exact score but he did score in the 700s and I know there is no way he would have done nearly as well without using this awesome resource
Total time for him to do all of the above about 10 hours spread over less than two weeks
>> A Seasoned Teacher says Best Chem SAT2 Prep
I am a science teacher and think this is the best SAT2 prep book for the Chemistry test
Each chapter is followed by questions of the three types you will find on the test and there are 3 excellent practice tests in the back
There are explanations for all the questions in the back
One issue The Henderson Hasselbach equation never shows up on the Chem SAT2 of course now that I ve said that it probably will so skip that part in the Acid/Base Chapter
Supplement with Thomas Evangelist s McGraw/Hill SAT2 prep book NOT for the review but for the 5 tests he has written for the book Some of the questions that come up in those tests are irrelevant like the Nernst equation but the tests are excellent for practice
