Cracking the SAT chemistry Subject Test, 2009-2010 Edition Review

My son didn't sign up quickly enough to take the Chemistry subject test in June (when the material would have been fresh) so we were looking for a good review book to prepare him for the test in the Fall. I can't say enough about this book! It provides great review material and three complete tests with answers and explanations.

My son took the first test without doing any review - he scored a 530. He then read the explanations for the answers he missed and started skimming the review sections for any gaps in knowledge. A couple of days later he took the second test and scored a 630 - woohoo, definite progress. Again, he read the explanations for the answers he missed and did more review. He took the third test a few days before the actual exam and scored a 680 on that one. Again, a little more review and he was set for the actual test. Because the subject tests deduct points for incorrect answers, one of the most valuable things my son learned from this process was to not answer questions he didn't know - especially those he couldn't narrow the answer down (with certainty) to a 50-50 choice.

Test day came and he was completely relaxed and confident. I won't give his exact score, but he did score in the 700s and I know there is no way he would have done nearly as well without using this awesome resource.

Total time for him to do all of the above - about 10 hours spread over less than two weeks!

Excellent Review Book - B. Lu -
I would strongly recommend this book in reviewing for the Chemistry SAT. It offers lucid explanations for basically all the topics covered on the Chem SAT test. While the practice problems that it offers are a bit on the easy side, this book is enough to get you the score that you want.



great - LJF - NY
it was so helpful! if u're in a rush to study or not, this book is PERFECT for you! i had only one day to study and i was able to finish the book and it covered everything i needed to noe! i highly recommend it.



If you are aiming in 600s... - L. TANG - Grand Blanc, MI
This book is far too shallow. It does not go into enough depth in terms of material. I have taken this test along with 2 siblings. Please choose the 2009 Barron's SAT Chem book instead - that covers all material and ensures a 750+. My entire family scored 800 with that book. This was our first book, which we bought and I used at first (and got 710, not satisfied). Do not purchase this.

The Bluest Eye Review

I was extremely happy with the reliability of this company and I fully recommend purchasing your books from this supplier.

The Bluest Eye Overview

The chronicle of the tragic lives of a poor black family in 1940s America. Every night Pecola, unlovely and unloved, prays for blue eyes like those of her white schoolfellows. She becomes the focus of the mingled love and hatred engendered by her family's frailty and the world's cruelty.

The Bluest Eye Specifications

Oprah Book Club® Selection, April 2000: Originally published in 1970, The Bluest Eye is Toni Morrison's first novel. In an afterword written more than two decades later, the author expressed her dissatisfaction with the book's language and structure: "It required a sophistication unavailable to me." Perhaps we can chalk up this verdict to modesty, or to the Nobel laureate's impossibly high standards of quality control. In any case, her debut is nothing if not sophisticated, in terms of both narrative ingenuity and rhetorical sweep. It also shows the young author drawing a bead on the subjects that would dominate much of her career: racial hatred, historical memory, and the dazzling or degrading power of language itself.

Set in Lorain, Ohio, in 1941, The Bluest Eye is something of an ensemble piece. The point of view is passed like a baton from one character to the next, with Morrison's own voice functioning as a kind of gold standard throughout. The focus, though, is on an 11-year-old black girl named Pecola Breedlove, whose entire family has been given a cosmetic cross to bear:

You looked at them and wondered why they were so ugly; you looked closely and could not find the source. Then you realized that it came from conviction, their conviction. It was as though some mysterious all-knowing master had given each one a cloak of ugliness to wear, and they had each accepted it without question.... And they took the ugliness in their hands, threw it as a mantle over them, and went about the world with it.

There are far uglier things in the world than, well, ugliness, and poor Pecola is subjected to most of them. She's spat upon, ridiculed, and ultimately raped and impregnated by her own father. No wonder she yearns to be the very opposite of what she is--yearns, in other words, to be a white child, possessed of the blondest hair and the bluest eye.

This vein of self-hatred is exactly what keeps Morrison's novel from devolving into a cut-and-dried scenario of victimization. She may in fact pin too much of the blame on the beauty myth: "Along with the idea of romantic love, she was introduced to another--physical beauty. Probably the most destructive ideas in the history of human thought. Both originated in envy, thrived in insecurity, and ended in disillusion." Yet the destructive power of these ideas is essentially colorblind, which gives The Bluest Eye the sort of universal reach that Morrison's imitators can only dream of. And that, combined with the novel's modulated pathos and musical, fine-grained language, makes for not merely a sophisticated debut but a permanent one. --James Marcus

Dissapointed - NY Dululu -
I heard so much about this book, but I was dissapointed after reading it. I think the discriptions were just too much. Some characters that she wrote so much about had no significant role in the story. And I don't like the idea that the book was classified as YA novel. The sexual content was too explicit and the use of dirty language was a little too much for young adult. This is just a one star novel.



Propelled by a resentment towards whites - Rune Rindel Hansen - Copenhagen, Denmark
This is another quite boring book from Toni Morrison. I mean I acknowledge that Toni Morrison is a powerfull individual who has a remarkable no-nonsense look at life, but most of her books just don't really appeal to me. It seems like a substantial part of Toni Morrisons authorship is propelled by a deepfelt resentment towards white people, and she directly implies that black peoples social problems are a result of white discrimination and slavery. Hm... I just made a brief search on the internet and I found this source which is backed up by statistic facts: "Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery." (www.colorofcrime.com). If this is true, which it appears to be, is it then any wonder that you are a bit more careful when you walk through a coloured neighborhood, than when you walk through a white neighborhood? I believe that white discrimination towards blacks is responsible for some of the problems, but I also think that the major reason for the problems is the cultural origin. Afro-Americans have part of their origin in Africa, and the cultural origin of whites is Europe. When you look at how the two continents have developed it seems obvious that there is a remarkable difference! Hopefully this difference will get smaller in the progress of time!

Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll And Mr. Hyde Review

This was another classic book, like the Phantom of the Opera, that I had heard a lot about but never actually sat down and read. It is a pretty quick read, well written, and fairly disturbing...although maybe not by today's standards.

Most of the story is told from the viewpoint of Mr. Utterson, a lawyer who is a friend of Dr. Jekyll's and who observes Dr. Jekyll's strangeness from an outside perspective. Mr. Utterson has some experience bumping into Mr. Hyde as well and finds Mr. Hyde a most disturbing character. Most people know the premise behind the story, so the surprise twist at the ending isn't really a surprise. Basically Mr. Utterson tells you about Dr. Jekyll and how Dr. Jekyll's life is intertwined with the disturbing Mr. Hyde. Things culminate when Mr. Utterson receives a journal of Dr. Jekyll's that explains Dr. Jekyll's experiment in full.

This is a dark, mysterious read. If would have been full of suspense had I not already known the story. From Mr. Utterson's point of view the things that happen to Dr. Jekyll and involving Mr. Hyde are disturbing and upsetting. It isn't until you read Dr. Jekyll's journal, at the end of the book, detailing his experiments that things get very creepy and a bit spooky.

As a chemist I have to say that the chemistry described in the book and it's affect on Dr. Jekyll is ridiculous. I realize this is a work of fiction however and choose to ignore that, although I had to mention it.

Stevenson's writing is very readable; and the mystery and gloominess pervading the story is distinct. The story is very engaging and I found myself hard-pressed to put the novel down. At times the language is dated and a bit wordy, but I expected that.

Overall I am happy that I read this. It was nice to get the full version of the story and see what all following works were based on. It is a good piece of literature and an enjoyable read. Dr. Jekyll's journal at the end brings up some deeper questions about duplicity of personalities and the good and evil that dwells in all humans; so from that aspect it also gives the reader some food for thought.

Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll And Mr. Hyde Overview

Tor Classics are affordably-priced editions designed to attract the young reader. Original dynamic cover art enthusiastically represents the excitement of each story. Appropriate "reader friendly" type sizes have been chosen for each title--offering clear, accurate, and readable text. All editions are complete and unabridged, and feature Introductions and Afterwords.

This edition of Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde includes an Introduction and Afterword by Charles L. Grant.

British lawyer Mr. Utterson had proof. Hyde was a foul, twisted, shrunken creature who had brutally stomped a little girl and beaten an old man to death--for no reason. Hyde left a trail of evil across London; the mere sight of him made stranger violent with fear and disgust...

But Hyde was Dr. Jekyll's sole heir.

And that made no sense at all. Henry Jekyll was the kindest, most civil, most respected man in England. What power could a monster like Hyde hold over Jekyll's soul? Utterson vowed to solve the mystery, and free his friend from Hyde's clutches...until his hunt led to a horror beyond blackmail, beyond extortion; to a secret so shocking, so sickening, so personal--That the sheer terror of the truth could drive men mad...

Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll And Mr. Hyde Specifications

The young Robert Louis Stevenson suffered from repeated nightmares of living a double life, in which by day he worked as a respectable doctor and by night he roamed the back alleys of old-town Edinburgh. In three days of furious writing, he produced a story about his dream existence. His wife found it too gruesome, so he promptly burned the manuscript. In another three days, he wrote it again. "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was published as a "shilling shocker" in 1886, and became an instant classic. In the first six months 40,000 copies were sold. Queen Victoria read it. Sermons and editorials were written about it. When Stevenson and his family visited America a year later, they were mobbed by reporters at the dock in New York City. Compulsively readable from its opening pages, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is still one of the best tales ever written about the divided self.

Worth the read - Lindsay Barker - Minnesota USA
I always thought I knew this story just because the idea of having a dual personality is an idea with which a lot of us can relate. I knew that the story was about a doctor who made some potion of sorts that turned him into an unscrupulous man. But there were several things that I learned from taking the short amount of time to read this story. I did not know that the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was being told in the aftermath of the confusion of it all. I discovered that there were deep of emotions and grief tied to Dr. Jekyll's decisions and actions. I also learned that Hyde was the complete picture of the devil on our shoulder. So for knowing what the book was about, I was missing key pieces that I found delighting to discover while reading it for myself. I would recommend it. I have the Cricket House Books publication of it myself.The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde It is compact and was easy to carry along in my purse.



Amazing Classical Read. - J Bennington - Indiana
Wow! What an awesome book. This classic thriller/mystery was such a gripping tale of duplicity. I couldn't put it down once I started reading. It wasn't what I imagined it to be, but after filtering all the 1880's lingo, I was spell bound the minute Mr. Utterson stepped on the scene of Dr. Jekyll's front door. I would highly recommend this to anyone over the age of 13. This short novel didn't waste a single word. It was filled with beautiful prose, realistic dialogue (for it's time) and quite a thrilling plot and twist.
The brilliance comes through in such passages as,,, "First, because I have been made to learn that the doom and burden of our life is bound for ever on man's shoulders, and when the attempt is made to cast it off, it but returns upon us with more unfamiliar and awful pressure..." found near the end - near the end of the author's own life. Somehow that makes this book more meaningful and its theme more powerful...5 Stars!

The Rumblin: A Short Story






A story everyone references... - Stephen Tessitore - Florida, USA
...But most people have probably not read. At least for me, it was brand new. I've seen the movies with the effect of the Hyde potion (the crackling, morphing, turn to a gigantic character). The book was a lot more subtle, and if we didn't all know the story to some extent, would have been a great mystery. It's also seen through the eyes of a friend of Dr. Jekyl's, which makes the story entertaining as he unravels the causes of Jekyl's strange behavior. I would reccomend the book to anyone who hasn't read it and wants to be able to say they did! And, anyone who wants to expand their Old English vocabulary to give their Kindle's lookup tool some excercise.

How to Live on 24 Hours a Day Review

This book was recommended as a 'must read' in Dale Carnegie's 'How to develop self-confidence and influence people be public speaking' which I had picked up for a group presentation.

I immediately downloaded it onto my kindle. It is a short book. I read it about an hour and a half, and I am a slow reader.

The author is British and the book was written in 1905. So by modern standards the advice it contains may seem a little harsh and paternalistic and the language somewhat stilted. But I really enjoyed the presentation compared to many modern politically correct but stylisticaly banal works. The humor is subtle but effective. The arguments are witty and thought-provoking and ultimately persuasive.

He begins with urging us to review our day and set aside time from outside our work hours, that we often waste by doing nothing, to do something truly worthwile. He recommends literature and the arts for building self and character but acknowledges that if one truly has no inclination towards these areas then they could do whatever else they enjoy that is interesting and mentally stimulating.

Besides the activity itself, though, he urges mental discipline and reflection. He stresses that the path to self-development is difficult and requires hard work and persistence. He warns against taking on too much to start with since that could result in failure and lowered self-esteem. He also cautions against going down the path only to become an insufferable prig looking down on everyone else.

While these are some of the bare-bones points he talks about, it is his language and style that makes the book such an enjoyable and inspiring read.

Recommended.

How to Live on 24 Hours a Day Overview

This preface, though placed at the beginning, as a preface must be, should be read at the end of the book. I have received a large amount of correspondence concerning this small work, and many reviews of it--some of them nearly as long as the book itself--have been printed. But scarcely any of the comment has been adverse. Some people have objected to a frivolity of tone; but as the tone is not, in my opinion, at all frivolous, this objection did not impress me; and had no weightier reproach been put forward I might almost have been persuaded that the volume was flawless! A more serious stricture has, however, been offered--not in the press, but by sundry obviously sincere correspondents- -and I must deal with it. A reference to page 43 will show that I anticipated and feared this disapprobation. The sentence against which protests have been made is as follows:-- "In the majority of instances he [the typical man] does not precisely feel a passion for his business; at best he does not dislike it. He begins his business functions with some reluctance, as late as he can, and he ends them with joy, as early as he can. And his engines, while he is engaged in his business, are seldom at their full 'h.p.'"

Time management was the same struggle 90 years ago - Sunny -
The author has a authoritative style that preempts your rationalizing why it won't work. This style is very pleasant and you can feel that the author truely desires that the reader finds improvement and a better life.

It is fun to read that people 90 years ago had the same thoughts and struggles as we do today.



Every hour is brand new - Caballero - Virginia
I was attracted to this book because it is short. I'm one of those "No time for anything!" kind of guys. But this book changed my opinion on time mangement. I used to be constantly disappointed in my failure to keep to a strict schedule. Read the book and find out why I'm now much more relaxed and efficient.



Feeling taken...a waste of money. - Sam G. - Cleveland, OH
You are basically told to view your allotted 24 hours a day as the number of hours that exist outside of your job, and to spend them doing something that will engage you. Many references to literature. And the author is English, so be prepared to read words like "programme" versus "job". Following his use of words and trying to determine the American equivalent was interesting...especially if you've not encountered this before.

There are no tips or hints as to how to "save time" doing this instead of that - or doing it differently - for example: clean a room in your house each day and by the end of the week, you won't need to spend a day of your weekend cleaning. I was hoping for these types of time-savers - but unfortunately did not see that this was not that type of book. At best, he tells you to use your commute time on the train to work each day, and back, to reflect on who you are, where you are headed and what makes you happy. He recommends not wasting that particular lot of time reading the paper - althought he recommends you still fit that in during the day - just not during your commute?? He focuses on starting with 7+ hours of the week and using them for something that will - again - engage you.

Some valid points. A very short read. However, save your money and locate this book at your local library if you truly wish to read it.
