Schaum's Outline of Analytical Chemistry by Adon A Gordus
Writing a book that concisely yet succinctly covers every aspect of undergraduate curriculum in chemistry is a behemoth task, and it deserves credit for bringing up most of the material I've encountered in either other model tests, or the actual GRE I've taken.
The question implicitly requires examination and interpretation of a graph; however, the graph is nowhere to be found with the question; in fact, it is located with the *answers* on page 281.

And although I had studied the organic chemistry chapter in my textbook, this book predicted "very little actual organic chemistry on the AP test" and did not even include sample questions on this topic.
But when I took the 2003 AP Chemistry exam, essay questions on both spectrophotometry, which is a rather specialized laboratory technique, and organic chemistry appeared.
The study advice and sample questions in this book outline the basic areas of chemistry the exam covers and give the test's format, but are very misleading when it comes to the exam's level of difficulty.
