Barrons's Regents Exams and Answers: Chemistry, the Physical Setting

I got this to help my grand daughter in her Chem Regents. I took mine some sixty years ago so I was also interested in the change. By the way she did better than I did, congrats! Fundamentally Barron's has not changed. Used it back then for all my Regents and still have my old Physics and Latin 2. So the book does what is purports, presents old Regents exams. With answers and some explanations.However the NY State Regents seems useless in today's world. It is a test on memorization of facts and in my opinion fails totally to determine if the student can think through a set of problems. In a world requiring technical competence of a sort, memorization of "words" and their meanings is no science. No wonder so few seek to follow a technical field. They see what is demanded of a student and ten think this is what they will do forever! Pity.The issue is simple. Chemistry should expose you to certain facts, enable you to use a collection of "tools", and show you how to solve problems, like puzzles. It is an iterative process, understanding measurements, reactions and anticipating results. Not just facts.

I didn't buy all of the barrons book for the nys regents but this one was definitely worth the $$. This book includes a ton, and I mean A TON of practice material!!!! This really prepared me for the regents, on which I got a 91%.

This book is a must-have if you're preparing for the Regents. The added bonus of having it explain every answer is a huge plus.

My daughter used this book for her review before the exam. Said it was helpful to her for preparing. Setup is simple and works well.
