is it easier or harder than AP chem?

I'm currently in Honors Chem and this is my first year chemistry.
Do you think I could get good scores on SAT II chem by just studying from prep books?
which prep books do you recommend?

easier by far, all very general quick questions.. although some strange labs.. pretty easy though, curve is missing 6 i heard

after taking AP Chem, it was pretty easy. DEFINATELY use Barrons. I did and managed a 730.

ya, but I'm not in AP chem, I'm in Honors Chem, and I don't know if all the materials for SAT II Chem are covered in first year chem.

Anyone taking SAT II Chem and NOT in AP chem class?

I took it last year (with studying from the Barrons book) and got a 710. It's really not that hard - just get the Barrons book, do the practice tests, go over chapters that you don't cover in school, and your fine.

Pretty much all of it is still covered in Honors Chem, if I remember correctly (might be different than yours)
