Timed Online Second-Term General Chemistry Practice Exam - Not a Tutorial (One Time Use)
This practice exam is designed for the second-term ACS General Chemistry Exam. Students looking to purchase this practice exam should be careful to make sure their instructor is using an ACS Exam from some time in the past 10 years. If the exam is from before then, the use of this practice exam may not be as effective.
For the most helpful experience, students should take this as though they are sitting an actual exam: in a quiet environment, with scratch paper, and without using previous notes.
The exam includes a timer to simulate a timed-test environment; however, this is simply to get a feel for the amount of time offered during an actual ACS exam, and this practice exam will not automatically close once the maximum time is reached.
In addition to answering the questions, the student is asked to estimate the amount of mental effort they used to answer that question. Once the practice exam is completed, a report will provide information about how accurately questions were answered based on content area, and how the various topics rate in terms of challenge as measured by the mental effort estimation. This combination can help students set priorities for continued study prior to taking the actual ACS exam.
The content areas in the report will align with chapters in the ACS General Chemistry Study Guide, so referencing the study guide following the practice exam will be beneficial in practicing as much as possible.
This is not a tutorial that walks the student through the questions. If you are looking for this experience, please see our Second-Term General Chemistry Practice Exam Tutorial.
This is a one-time use tool. Retaking the practice exam will not provide a good measure of preparedness, as some of the items will be remembered from the first time it was taken. If re-ordered, students will see the same set of questions.
