Inorganic Acs Exam Study Guide Practice

by

Dear Colleagues,

I was curious to know how many of you use the ACS Standardized test for your final exam. The wonderful thing about inorganic chemistry is that is a broad discipline, but the challenge with designing a course depends on your focus. As an undergrad, the course I took focused only on main group chemistry. I didn't learn about organometallics until grad school. Why can't ACS design various inorganic standardized tests? For instance one test specifically for organometallics? Perhaps another that is half organometallics and the other half coordination chemistry? Thoughts?

  1. Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Final Exam Study Guide The final (250 points) will be composed of two parts:. The ACS inorganic exam (60 multiple choice questions, 2 points each, graded out of 80 points). Another portion, similar to the regular exams (170 points) One the in-house final, there will be some short answer questions, similar to 3-6 point questions on previous exams.

Don’t Forget to Take an ACS Practice Exam. I hope these 7 ACS Exam Tips really help you this semester. Many Chemistry Students go into taking the exam without any preparation on taking it. Even if you don’t study for the ACS Exam (which you should extensively), these ACS Exam tips for Chemistry Students will still help significantly.

Sibrina,

I have used the ACS Inorganic Chemistry exam as a final exam in my Advanced Inorganic course periodically. My students have had two semesters of inorganic from me at that point, and I think it is a good way for them to judge how they do on a standardized exam. Good practice for those taking the GRE or going on to graduate school, especially as I don't ask very many multiple choice type questions on my normal exams in inorganic. My understanding is that some graduate programs give the ACS exams as entrance exams to assess if a student needs to take any coursework in a particular field of chemistry.

I usually go through and carefully code the exam and record both their 'raw score' and their score on those questions that they should know based on what I teach. So, if we didn't talk about iron-sulfur proteins, then a random question on iron-sulfur proteins does not overly penalize them. Their 'Maggie-normalized' score is what factors into their final grade.

I have recently found it helpful when writing letters for grad schools as I can refer very specifically to how the student did on the ACS exam and compare to national norms as well as talk about how they did on other course work and on my exams.

No, it's not a perfect exam, but it sure is easy to grade! :-)

Preparing for Your ACS Examination in General Chemistry: The Official Guide

Inorganic Acs Exam Study Guide Practice Tests

(commonly called the General Chemistry Study Guide)

This guide includes 201 pages of information and over 600 problems separated into first-term and second-term general chemistry material. Each section contains 8 chapters of material that also aligns to most general chemistry textbooks for a seamless addition to study materials for students. Each chapter is designed with an introductory section of the material including common representations and where to find this material in a textbook. The second section provides worked examples of typical, multiple choice questions including how the correct answer is determined as well as how the incorrect answers were determined. Also included for each study problem is a listing of the corresponding practice questions that use that concept. The final section is a series of practice problems to test the concepts collectively. The key is provided on a separate page for all study and practice problems.

Chapters in the study guide are:

First-Term Material:

  • Atomic Structure
  • Electronic Structure
  • Formula Calculations and the Mole
  • Stoichiometry
  • Solutions and Aqueous Reactions, Part 1
  • Heat and Enthalpy
  • Structure and Bonding
  • States of Matter

Second-Term Material:

  • Solutions and Aqueous Reactions, Part 2
  • Kinetics
  • Equilibrium
  • Acids and Bases
  • Solubility Equilibria
  • Thermodynamics
  • Electrochemistry
  • Nuclear Chemistry

Preparing for Your ACS Examination in Organic Chemistry: The Official Guide

Inorganic Acs Exam

(commonly called the Organic Chemistry Study Guide)

This guide is the newest update to our suite of study materials. A second edition was released in early 2020 with over 240 pages and over 600 unique problems. The guide is organized similarly to the general chemistry guide with a clear separation of first-term and second-term material. Each chapter is organized with study and practice questions where the study questions take you through the problem solving process of key problems explaining the correct process and also explaining the incorrect processes leading to incorrect answers. These study questions are then linked to practice questions where you can work through multiple choice questions and check your answers. Additionally, there are two culminating chapters linking all previous material: Multistep Synthesis and Applications of Organic Chemistry.

Chapters in the study guide are:

First-Term Material:

  • Structure: Shape and Stability
  • Structure: Nomenclature and Functional Groups
  • Structure: Isomers
  • Acids and Bases
  • Nucleophilic Substitutions Reactions
  • Elimination Reactions
  • Addition Reactions: Alkenes and Alkynes
  • Addition Reactions: Alcohols and Ethers
  • Spectrometry, Spectroscopy, and Spectrophotometry
  • Radical Reactions

Second-Term Material:

  • Conjugated Systems and Aromaticity
  • Aromatic Reactions
  • Carbonyl Chemistry
  • Enols and Enolates
  • Multistep Synthesis
  • Applications of Organic Chemistry

Preparing for Your ACS Examination in Physical Chemistry: The Official Guide

Inorganic Acs Exam Study Guide Practice Exam

(commonly called the Physical Chemistry Study Guide)

This guide includes 126 pages of information in essentially three categories. First, there is a brief explanation of content in physical chemistry. Second, there are example exam items where the question and answers are analyzed (so you can see not only why the correct answer is correct, but also how the other incorrect answers – called distractors – are devised for a multiple-choice item). Finally, there are practice questions for each section.

Content is derived from all areas of Physical Chemistry (Thermodynamics, Quantum Mechanics and Dynamics) and includes:

  • Thermo – Equations of State
  • Thermo – Laws of Thermodynamics and State Functions
  • Thermo – Mathematical Relationships in Thermodynamics
  • Thermo – Chemical and Phase Equilibria
  • Dynamics – Kinetic Molecular Theory
  • Dynamics – Transport Properties
  • Dynamics – Phenomenological Kinetics
  • Dynamics – Mechanisms
  • Dynamics – Reaction Dynamics
  • Dynamics – Statistical Mechanics
  • Quantum – Quantum Chemistry: History and Concepts
  • Quantum – Simple Analytical Quantum Mechanical Systems
  • Quantum – Modern Quantum Mechanical Problems: Atomic System
  • Quantum – Symmetry
  • Quantum – Molecular Orbital Theory
  • Quantum – Spectral Properties
  • Quantum – Advanced Topics: Electronic Structure Theory and Spectroscopy

The Examinations Institute online practice exams – click here for more information. There are two major types of practice exams:

  • Tutorial exams providing feedback throughout the test-taking process.

Our newest product, these tutorial exams are designed to provide elaborative feedback as students take the test. Following the submission of each answer to each question, students are shown if they are correct or incorrect with feedback about both their response and the correct process. Following the completion of the test, students receive a report with their performance by question as well as detailed information on similar items from the corresponding study guide. There are currently two tutorial practice exams available:

      • First-Term General Chemistry
      • Full-Year Organic Chemistry
  • Practice exams replicating taking an ACS Exam.

These practice exams are designed to help students practice taking a test in preparation for their standardized exam. While a student works through the questions on the test, they are also asked to respond with their mental effort for each question. Following the completion of the test, students receive a report with their performance by content area, their average mental effort by content area and information on how to use this to target their studies. There are four practice exams available:
