Hello there,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on deciding to take the GRE Chemistry test! It's great that you are seeking advice and tips to help you prepare for the exam.

As for book recommendations, I would suggest checking out "Cracking the GRE Chemistry Test" by The Princeton Review and "Barron's GRE Chemistry" by Joseph A. Mascetta. These are both highly recommended by students who have taken the test and have found success.

In terms of preparing for the test, 4 months should be enough time if you are dedicated and consistent with your studying. I would recommend starting with reviewing the basic concepts and then moving on to more advanced topics. You can also find practice tests and questions online to help you assess your understanding and track your progress.

Additionally, I would suggest joining study groups or finding a study partner who is also preparing for the GRE Chemistry test. This can provide you with additional support and motivation.

Best of luck with your preparation and the exam! You got this.
