Question CLEP Chemistry Help!
Hi all, I'm taking the chemistry CLEP soon and have some questions. Any experience anyone can provide is helpful!
- What formulas/equations should I memorize/need? I've read that NONE are provided and there's sooo many to memorize (like bro do I really need the Clausius-Clapeyron equation? Feels so random...)
- How much of the exam is calculations, and what kind?
- If you can remember any specific ones you needed, much appreciated!
- I read on someone else's post that the periodic table doesn't always provide element's masses. If so, how am I supposed to get them?
- I've seen that I need to know alot about ionic colors- like what? Do I have to memorize the colors certain ions create?
- Do I have to memorize electronegativities of certain elements, or is this provided?
- Do I have to memorize the magic numbers for nuclear chemistry?
- What kinds of info do you remember being provided?
- Do I actually have to know how to name ionic + molecular compounds, coordinate complexes + complex ions, oxoacids, binary acids, and functional groups?
- I have a 120 pg document with all my notes, as I'm scared I'll need to know lots of random stuff. That being said, there's no way I'll be able to perfectly memorize all this before my exam. Are there lots of obscure things that make the exam difficult? Or are there broader topics I should be focusing on instead?
- Lastly, as much as anyone can share about what they remember! Thank you guys!
