Synopsis

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT II: Chemistry exam is very different from getting straight As in school. They don't try to teach students everything there is to know about chemistry--only what they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the SAT II: Chemistry, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and:

* Learn test-taking strategies that will help students outsmart the test and improve scores
* Ace the exam by becoming familiar with the format
* Use the Process of Elimination and the divide and conquer method to solve complicated problems
* Perfect test-taking skills with practice questions and detailed answer explanations

*** This book includes 2 full-length simulated SAT II: Chemistry exams. All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained.
