Summary: A solution for success
Review: Chemistry. The science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems. For some, chemistry comes very simple... Some people like to balance equations, name chemical compounds, and decide how many molecules of oxygen there are in magnesium oxide. For those of us, or the vast majority, of people who have difficulties Chem Tutor Excalibur is imperative for our survival.
Not only is Chem Tutor easy to use its Learn and Explanation buttons provide a concise dissection of major concepts. Chem Tutor's tables, diagrams, and definitions are an ideal alternative to dense and wordy text books. I loved that Chem Tutor allows one to study in test simulation mode and a tutorial mode. This allows me to learn with immediate feedback on all my answers and then further reinforce my understanding with a test. I recommend this to anyone currently taking or about to take a chemistry course, especially for those who are struggling. Chem Tutor Excalibur is not just chemistry software, it is an absolute phenomenon.

Summary: SAT II Tool
Review: ChemTutor Excaliber is not only helpful for first and second year Chemistry classes but also is an excellent source for building SAT II Chemistry skills. Forget the the Cliff's Notes Reviews and the SAT II study guides!!! Provides a realistic test setting for the user with answers and explanations when needed. Even if you don't have much time in your day, using it for only fifteen to twenty minutes a day (a month or two in advance for the SAT II) can dramatically improve your scores.

Summary: Chemtutor Excalibur: Problem Solver
Review: Chemtutor Excalibur is excellent software. It helps you to solve chemistry problems, and by raising grades, it solves all of yours! After running through 2-3 tutorials before a test, my grades have become substantially higher. If I don't understand a question, I don't have to worry about calling a friend, hoping that they can explain it to me, or even sift through my notes for hours. There are extremely helpful explanation and learn screens that can explain the information needed perfectly! Another great quality belonging to Chemtutor is that there are so many questions so that every time you take a test, the questions are different. I would strongly recommend Chemtutor to any up-and-coming chemist out there! If you need further explanation or guidance (which I doubt), go to www.chemistrylecturenotes.com -another excellent chemistry resource!
