your scores definitely will not hurt you, especially if the emphasis is not on english. just send them along - you did well!

It has several errors, but it has good review material, provided that you are using the book to review and not trying to learn everything for the first time. If you are learning material for the first time, it is helpful to use other test prep/test book materials/websites in conjunction. It also separates the test into sections. It focuses on the crucial aspects of the test. It is not the most thorough though. You will need more challenging material to seriously study for the test. It is a solid foundation. Overall, worth it. It's $10-20, depending where/when you order it, and used/old; there just aren't very many GRE chemistry test prep books out there! There is not enough of a market, so the fact that there is one availabe for cheap (I got mine for close to $10), just get it. I spent half as much on late fees in the library.

what about US applicant applying to foreign school in Middle East?

so did you ever take gre chem?

Are you applying to school in the United States? If so, you have an excellent chance. Remember, test scores are only one component of school admission; actually, it is the bottom of the list. The school will probably also look at your general GRE scores, but first it would look at your GPA, letters of reference, academic standing, and personal statetement before it would look at your test scores. Don't sell yourself short. Assuming that you don't have a shot might actually be defeating, since the process is somewhat self-selective. Take heart! It sounds like you aren't looking to get into a top 10 school, anyway. It sounds like you have a good chance of acceptance.

Also, thanks for the study links!! Found them helpful already!

It sounds like you retained a lot of information from your chemistry studies in college and relied on test prep material as more of a review than a learning process. What information was actually new to you? What percentage of the material would you say you saw before you started studying? Also, how was the emphasis on material different when studying for the test and when studying in school?
