This review is from: How to Prepare for the SAT II Chemistry (Paperback)

i had a chemistry teacher who went over the entire acids&bases unit in a week, and im not a fan of our textbook. My whole review was based on this book, and i got a 800 on the exam. This book does a very thorough job of covering everything(maybe a little bit more) you need to know, and the practice exams are a teeny bit harder than the real test which means u will be very well prepared. I recommend going over this book fully(buy it, mark in it, et cetera), then borrow the princeton review book from the library or something to do the practice tests and skim over the contents because it's a bit more organized. don't bother with the kaplan book. it sucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT MATERIAL, July 4, 2006

This review is from: How to Prepare for the SAT II Chemistry (Paperback)

This book, as the title suggests, is an excellent review book for the SAT II Chemistry. I found that other prep book such as Kaplans was completely useless compared to this one. The Barrons book offers many practice tests which are a bit harder than the actual test. I got mostly 780s and 1 800. However on the Kaplans test, I got lower scores (760, 780). Besides the tests, this book explains the experimental section (which many books lack) of the AP Chemistry test very well. It even gives you an organized table of physical properties of commonly tested chemicals. Although the book may look dissapointingly thin, it is a must for all SAT II Chemistry takers. On the real test, I got an 800.

I credit my 800 on SAT Chemistry mostly to this book (partly to McGraw-Hill's). It has an impressive depth of explanation that is easy to follow, and doesn't miss a thing.
