Product Description:
If you're looking to prepare for a chemistry exam, ChemTutor will drill you with tons of multiple-choice questions, training you for the most rigorous of tests. However, if you want something more than mere practice, this isn't for you, as the application does little more than provide users with questions and answers. Installation is simple with a standard Windows setup program, but there's no included manual or online help. The program is simple enough, however, that you shouldn't have much trouble figuring out how to use it. ChemTutor divides chemistry into 20 topics, covering such key areas as gases, thermodynamics, and organic chemistry--most of the subjects you'd find in a first- or second-year chemistry textbook. When you run the program, you'll select one of these topics for drilling. The program then randomly chooses multiple-choice questions from its database of hundreds, letting you do repeat drilling on the same subject. The questions incorporate graphs and tables, similar to those you'd expect to find on a standardized chemistry test, such as the AP or the SAT II exams. Drilling comes in two forms. You can challenge yourself in tutorial mode, in which the program tells you after each question whether you answered correctly or not. Test simulation mode waits until the end to tell you your grade. These drills can cover only one subject, or you can self-design a "semester exam" covering multiple areas. Make no mistake about it, ChemTutor won't teach you chemistry. It's test preparation software, plain and simple. But if you're looking to improve your performance on multiple-choice tests such as the SAT II or AP, it will certainly do the trick. --Ken Feinstein

 ChemTutor, 2001-07-21
This software would have been great 10 years ago. Now it is litle more than an online test which can be obtained free at many chemistry websites. This is not worth what I paid for it. It would be a great ... product because it gives you practice taking chemistry tests IF you already know the subject very well.
