FYI - info on the availability of the periodic table during the exam as of November 11, 2014.
I HIGHLY recommend that you memorize the periodic table. The table provided by the test only has the element's atomic #, mass, and symbol, so memorization of the names is essential.
Additionally, the table is not available as a pop-up on the same screen as the question (as the calculator is). In order to get to the table you need to go into the help menu and click on the "periodic table" tab. If you have a good basic understanding of what groups and periods each of the most often used elements are you can save yourself the time of going in and out of the help menu. When you go into the help menu your time continues to click down, so if you need to look at the periodic table write down the elements on your scrap paper so that you don't forget what they were when you look at the table.
Good luck, study well, and I hope this info helps you.
