Summary: The best chemistry teaching program in the world!!!,
Review: I am a student of Chemistry AP course in high school. I took regular chemistry course during summer two years ago. Honestly, I forgot everything I learned. My memory's not so good. I was very worried when my teacher said we have a first big test coming up. Then, several of my friends recommended me ChemTutor Excalibur. They said it's great, so I tried it, and it was amazing! It explained many confusing stuffs in a very easy way, and "learn" and "explain" sections helped me more than my text book. Everything is organized very well. It was a great opportunity to experience many types of probolems. Also, great solution and explanation for every problem! I felt like I became a master of Chemistry! Indeed, I got 107 and 102 out of 100 in my two big tests that I took this year. I was very happy about that.
It is also very interesting to study with computer! It's not boring~!
I strongly recommend all of you to get this great helper!!!
ps: since it has very concise explanation, it's also very helpful for the international students!

Summary: ChemTutor Excalibur: What Would I Do Without It?
Review: I am currently a senior in high school, and with the pressures of applying to college and my heavy course load it's hard to find the sufficient time needed to study for chemistry. Furthermore, I am not an excellent science scholar, but with ChemTutor's methods of explaining, my comprehension of chemistry has greatly improved. With ChemTutor Excalibur I have begun to not only understand the material better, but more importantly I maximize my efficiency of studying for chemistry. ChemTutor is easily comprehendible and straightforward so that I can get the most out of my time studying. With ChemTutor all my questions and confusions about chemistry are answered, and because of the ChemTutor teaching and testing method I am always prepared for my next chemistry test. I would recommend ChemTutor for anyone; it is an excellent tool for the study and practice of chemistry.

Summary: YOUR CHEMISTRY FRIEND, CHEM TUTOR EXCALIBUR~
Review: I am glad that I got a chance to have Chem Tutor Excalibur this year. Chem Excalibur helped me to learn more stuffs about the subject of matters and to feed back the course. I am now getting good grades on the class by solving problems every night before the tests and quizes. It has many kinds of problems to examine your chem ability. You can also look over the wrongs from explanations and notes. It is very very well-made for you to study by yourself. There is no better chem materials than Excalibur!

Summary: Textbooks Beware!
Review: I have progressed quickly through loads of material in my Chemistry class, using only ChemTutor Excalibur. The "Learn" function effectively replaces your standard Chemistry textbook, and is all a student needs to learn either basic or advanced chemistry. Many students, including myself, have found the information on ChemTutor easier to grasp than its textbook equivalent. ChemTutor is also wonderful for test preparation. It's the only tool I need to study! The textbook, the quiz preparation, and the sample term exams are all included in a single CD-ROM! I wholeheartedly recommend ChemTutor Excalibur for the fastidious chemistry student, and for the teacher who wishes to do away with heavy textbooks. It's a lifesaver!

Summary: ChemTutor® Excalibur is an Excellent Stand-alone Tutorial
Review: I teach both Pre-AP Chemistry and Advanced Placement Chemistry at Westtown School in Pennsylvania. ChemTutor® Excalibur is an excellent stand-alone chemistry tutorial software package, and my students use it as an essential part of each of my chemistry courses. In fact, instead of reading a textbook, I have my students work with the interactive tutorials in ChemTutor® Excalibur on their own at home, and it definitely helps them to develop a strong understanding of all aspects of general and inorganic chemistry. There is much more to ChemTutor® Excalibur than just its practice tests, although that is certainly one of its valuable features. ChemTutor® Excalibur uses a unique approach to teaching chemistry: It teaches all of the concepts and quantitative aspects of chemistry by way of example in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step approach that students really like and appreciate. The tutorials for each of the subject areas give students an opportunity to apply each concept and calculational procedure that is related to each of those subject areas. This aspect of the tutorials is very important. Students don't learn chemistry by just reading about it; they need to apply chemistry before they can truly understand it. If a student doesn't have any idea how to approach any one of the problems in one of the tutorials in ChemTutor® Excalibur, there is a LEARN button that they can click on, which brings up a screen that explains the concept associated with that problem and that also explains, in general, how to approach that type of problem. Then the student can try to solve the practice problem. If they are still having difficulty, there is also an EXPLANATION button that they can click on. This brings up a screen that shows and explains, in detail, how to solve that specific problem. ChemTutor® Excalibur really is an awesome software package, and it definitely helps me to do a better job of teaching chemistry. Another one of its benefits is that it does a great job of helping students prepare for the SAT II Subject Test in Chemistry and the College Board AP Chemistry Exam. Every chemistry student on the planet should have this software. Kurt M. Wicks

Summary: Not what I expected...
Review: I was totally disappointed with this product...I purchased this for my high school aged son and I when I started going through it myself, I actually felt like a dupe for buying it in the first place. First off, this program it not tutorial by any means and it assumes a fair amount of chemistry background. The haphazard presentation of subject matter is more like a trivia game then a serious approach to learning chemistry. I'm not letting my son touch this software - my opinion only - but I could easily imagine a beginner picking this software up and becoming so intimidated by chemistry as to develop a mental block about it.

Summary: very helpful aid for chemistry
Review: I wouldn't say chemistry was my best subject, but with the help of chemtutor, I understood the topics much better. In the quiz format, one can take a tutorial or a practice exam on one or multiple sections of chemistry. The quiz format lets one see how they may be tested on certain ares of a unit. The great thing about chemtutor is that if one feels that they need help on a question, there is a learn button. It shows a question similar to the one that they have been asked and then does it out in detail. Then if I got a question wrong, there is an explanation button where the question is done out in detail and explains why it is done that way. It is very helpful and I would recommend it to anyone who was taking a chemistry class.
