Take a Diagnostic Exam
IN THIS CHAPTER
Summary:The diagnostic exam is for your benefit. It will let you know where
you need to spend the majority of your study time. Do not make the mistake
of studying only those parts you missed; you should always review all topics.
It may be to your advantage to take the diagnostic exam again just before
you begin your final review for the exam. This exam has only multiple-choice
questions. It will give you an idea of where you stand with your chemistry
preparation. The questions have been written to approximate the coverage
of material that you will see on the AP exams and are similar to the review
questions that you will see at the end of each chapter. Once you are done
with the exam, check your work against the given answers, which also
indicate where you can find the corresponding material in the book.
We also provide you with a way to convert your score to a rough
