This is somewhat straightforward. I've taken Chemistry in 9th grade, then I took a Dual Enrollment/college level course of it last year in 11th grade. Now, I'm set up to take the Chemistry subject test in 2 weeks from tomorrow.

It was sort of all of the sudden because I didn't see that two of the colleges I want to apply to require a science subject test of either physics or chemistry (I'm currently in dual enrollment physics so I'm stuck doing chem!).


So basically, does anyone have anything I should go look at to review for this subject test. I'm rather bad with chemistry, but it's my only option in this case, so I'm trying to find things to help me out, review, etc. I borrowed out an advanced chemistry book from my teacher from last year, and I've read/taken notes on the first two chapters, but that's just general ideas/concepts I needed to refresh...

But is there anything out there really worth looking into to refresh/learn?

I can't really help outside of saying "check out those help books" but what the hell when did the SAT cover Chemistry? is this the SAT II?

yeah it's an SAT subject test. SAT II.

does the collegeboard website have any practice tests you can take? try to find some of those

On the "Chemistry Subject Test Hub" or whatever they called it, there had 26 practice questions in the format of the test.

I got 8 out of 26 right, which is why I realized I really need to refresh. Furthermore, it makes me feel bad cause I should have signed for this back when I had the class, but the two schools that need them were not really in my list of schools back then.

i took this a couple years ago but i don't remember much. it sucked. i thought i did a lot worse than i ended up doing though. there was a periodic table provided but i don't remember if it had all the important information on it. lots of questions regarding gases.

also yeah taking those practice tests really helps.

So Boyle's law of partial gases or whatever, and the PV=nRT thing. God. Chemistry was so long ago. Good luck with that -- yeesh. You sure you can't take physics?

I'm in a college-level class of physics right now...but this is my first time ever seeing physics. Also it's a little too late for that!

in highschool chemistry was my lowest graded subject. grade 11 was a 51% and grade 12 was a 34%. Ironically  now, chemistry is my major in chemical engineering.


sparknotes pretty much sums up what you need to know

half of chemistry is unit conversion, keeping track of what units you're working with, and which ones you're solving for

Keep that in mind, be sure to remember the important numbers(avagadro's and the gas constant), and commit to memory the important formulas.

if this is a highschool sat chem test i bet most of it is just plug and chug. just do a bunch of excersizes, and you will probably start seeing patterns. even if you dont get the shit after a while you know that certain things they ask mean certain equations. this is how i got a 4.0 in college level chem.

if you can use a ti83 abuse the fuck out of it. put all the things that require just grinding, like memorizing. there is software out there for typing the stuff in the computer and then trasnfering it.

yeah i know it's just for some reason i get confused like fuck when doing chemistry work.

i remember pv=nrt, the gas constant is 0.831 (i believe), avogadro's is 6.022 x 10^23....

and idk some other shit but i just suck when taking tests on it. i'll see how it goes!
