5.0 out of 5 stars essential chem guide, February 18, 2003

I have used this review book since its first edition both for h.s. chem. and as a review in my AP chem classes. I don't think there is a more thorough or clearly written review book than this one on the market. For students preparing for the SAT II in chem, the book needs be supplemented with additional questions of the type used on that exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for., July 21, 2009

This review is from: Let's Review: Chemistry, the Physical Setting (Barron's Review Course Series) (Paperback)

I'll keep this review simple. It's my aspiration to go into a chemistry-related field as my future career, and I wanted to purchase a book that could supplement the chemistry class I was taking in high school; one that took time to explain concepts in ways that maybe a standard textbook wouldn't. I bought this book for $4 (including shipping) from Amazon and used it all last year during my chemistry class. In my experience, it was helpful, extensive, and helped me grasp concepts faster and easier than if I had not had the book. It was just about the best $4 investment I've ever made. I think that most any high school chemistry student could benefit from having a handy book like this at their disposal. I highly recommend it for that purpose.

This book has helped me so much with honors high school chemistry and explains everything so clearly and the convenience of having 40 practice questions per chapter really helps me truly understand the concepts of each chapter. I recommend this book to anyone taking chemistry!!
