Bristayl Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Any opinions as to whether Zumdahl's Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation would be enough to prepare for the Chemistry CLEP, or would we need to use the full Zumdahl Chemistry AP-level version?

mumto2 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 No idea about Zumdal but dd is currently prepping to take the Chemistry CLEP. She is using the REA study guide and reviewing with a Coursera Advanced Chemistry course that is part of the on demand course list. She thinks the course has all the new to her topics. Chemistry was two years ago for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristayl Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks, I'll check those resources. In our case, though, it would not be just a review but a full course followed by the exam, so I think we need a text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I still can't really help but thishttp://www.free-clep-prep.com/Chemistry-CLEP.htmlwebsite is the most useful one we have found for free. It gives a good breakdown of what is actually on the exam. You can compare to table of contents for the text books. In general the dc's have found the Clep exams to be very similar to the SAT subject exams when both have been taken. Literature, French, and German are the three we have done both. The major difference in preparation is they are trying for as close to a perfect score as possible with the subject exams and simply passing for Clep. The content of the exams and question types have always been very similar so they may be for chemistry also. Dd is thinking of taking the subject exam if she can get the content down for the Clep. She will run through some subject exam practice tests before taking the Clep also since those are easier to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
