Tough Job Placement exam! I need a guide on what topics to review for a job exam next week for a petrochem co.
Get this book and practice these tests.  The tests are timed so practice under time.  The more you get right the better the results. the areas you should study are \nbasic arithmetic word problems no more advanced than simple algebra\nsimple science and mechanical principles\nsimple everyday chemistry\nvocabulary
When I took Chemistry, I found that flashcards usually helped with remembering names of compounds and acids.  As for the actual problem, it was just practice.  I would try to do as many of the problems that I could possibly do and would then call a friend for the problems I wasn't sure about.  \n\nFor me at least, reading the book didn't help too much, it explained it, but rereading wasn't exactly great, just look at the example problems, those are usually helpful as well.
