They can be very tricky. Read each question very carefully, then read it again. Make sure you know exactly what the question is asking - not what you assume it is asking.
The same goes for the entire exam. It is easy to get lost in the language of the question and not understand the meaning of the question. Be sure to read each one at least twice.

well, i think its best to study from either from a sparknotes book princeton review or kaplan book, and theres also the "offical guide" created by the collegeboard itself. if you want free, sparknotes online (http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/books/sat2/chemistry/) is the best way to go, but if ur willing to go out somewhere and buy it, look at princeton and kaplan. kaplan's tend to go more in depth and have more practices than princeton reviews, but the princeton reviews have really nice summaries and a bit of humor. i personally never use collegeboard bc i think the maker of the test isnt gunna exactly tell u whats on the test and how to pass easily, but if u just look at all the books at barnes and noble or books a million or somethin, i'm sure u'll find somethin u like. but yeah, review books are always great for raising scores, and if u reach something that ur like "wth is this" u can look it up online and understand it better. ur scores will def raise. and with like no time left, just do practice tests and if u realise u do really poorly with certain concepts, review those extra. and as far as true false goes, u should always follow ur instinct/gut and only change ur first answer if ur like supersure. somtimes questions will answer other questions inadvertnently, so that helps sometimes as well. i hope u do well :)

Go with you're instinct, the first answer that comes to you're head. If you don't know the answer at all, then think over it carefully. Make sure you answer all the questions.
Make sure you had a good breakfast and plenty of sleep.
