2 out of 4 found this review helpful
THis book really lays out the info in an easily understandable and organized way. It focuses on just the stuff you need to know and doesn't overwhelm you. The practice exams are great and really accurate. I read the book cover to cover like 3 times, did all the practice exams, and got a 780!!
 A Collection of Falsehoods May 29, 2006

This book is not so much a chemistry review book as a beguiling, deceitful encounter with incompetence. Having read only two-thirds of the so-called review section, I discovered numerous serious errors. Some of these errors include claims that mass is measured in g/mL (p. 45) and that CO2(g) has molecules that are arranged in a regular geometric pattern (p. 57). Additionally, there were misleading statements and diagrams regarding bonds between and within water molecules (p. 85-87), inconsistent values in equations (e.g., p. 108 and 118), and discrepencies between descriptions and diagrams (e.g. p. 124). These more serious errors are in addition to other trivial typos that I discovered. Of course, it is possible that other important errors have escaped my notice, or exist in the chapters that I did not see fit to read. The author and publishing house ought to be ashamed of themselves. Though I was fortunate enough to realize the terrible unsuitability of this rubbish, I tremble for those who were not, and are about to embark on the daunting journey through the SAT II. When one reads this book, one is tempted to convert potential energy into kinetic energy--that is, to throw the book down in disgust.
 Good Book (like McGraw's SAT I book), be wary of other reviews March 11, 2006

Like most McGraw test prep books, it is good quality and better than Princeton Review/Kaplan who I swear copy and paste those same "test taking" tricks from one book to another. Once you've read one, it's time to move on. But has anyone noticed that ALL of the other previous reviews are from NEW YORK. Moreover, most of them are only two sentences long, possibly indicating that someone decided to ensure this book had good reviews. If that's the case, that is really horrible because Amazon.com's reviews are generally pretty reliable unless they're reviews on a politically hot and polarized issue. Doing stuff like that is really demeaning to Amazon.com and its patrons.

This was the best investment I ever made in buying a book to help me study for an important test such as the SAT II. This book goes step by step through the vast world of chemistry and condenses the material into simple concepts. Not only that but Thomas A. Evangelist makes several analogies to everyday life that allow for a more thorough understanding of chemistry on the whole. It also includes great pictures and actual SAT II exams for more practice. This is a great book for chemistry and a fantastic guide for preparing for the SAT II's
