This. Our professor took orders from the class and charged us $20 a booklet. I did all the practice questions and clarified why I got some of them wrong. It was perfect. I scored something like 62 of 70. The practice booklets are just like taking the AAMC MCAT practice tests. You'll see so many variations of what you practice and will thus do far better on the actual exam than if you hadn't used the practice test.\
Yeah, Gen Chem is very heavy on the math. Blegh.
When is your exam? Go to the ACS website and buy their study booklet or buy one elsewhere with expedited shipping if you have time. Otherwise, just study your year's worth of chem notes and do problems out of the book if it's too late. :/ Good luck!
Mine was 1 & 2, as well. It just covered your typical gen chem calculations, from Boyle's Law and pH to equilibrium points and reaction rates.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I usually don't check SDN once I leave work. I took it quite a while ago, maybe 3 years ago? No, I didn't find it all that difficult, but had the ACS practice test booklet. FWIW, my friend and I sat across the room from each other and made the exact same score, setting the curve (somewhere around 61-63 of 70, can't remember exact score). The prof laughed and said, "If I didn't know you two better, I'd totally have had a talk with you two." She later admitted to checking our wrong answers and was relieved to see that we got all different questions wrong. But I'm a firm believer in luck when it comes to standardized tests; and I'm fairly sure we just lucked out to score so high. Nevertheless, I didn't find it that difficult after studying the booklet. You see the exact same types of problems, just with different figures or elements in periodicity. Relax, you'll do fine.
There are some tricks to the Amines. Anything in particular tripping you up? Aromaticity? pKa?
