<p>I've heard that the Barrons test prep books are pretty much overkill in all areas. Is this accurate? (From brief comparison in the store, I think all my Barron's subject prep books were longer, heavier, and denser than any other company's books - except for one, Statistics, which seemed pretty shallow.)</p>
<p>I'm speaking in particular about AP/SATII prep books, but the trend holds with the SAT. Here's my question. Is is good to do overkill, if it means we can't spend as much time on "definitely-on-the-test" material?</p>
<p>Yeah, I hear they over do it. But someone told me (at least for MATH) that it's good because then you're over prepared for the SAT.</p>
<p>I suppose that may be bad for CR or something. Over analysing KILLS me.</p>

<p>I'm just alarmed for AP English and Chemistry where I get like 60% of the questions right on Barron's though I'm doing far better on the sample questions my teachers provide. Thanks for the, you know, consolation =P</p>
<p>barrons is overkill</p>
<p>barrons for chem ap is overkill defiently, get princeton review, its more accurate</p>
<p>its also major major major overkill for the math iic sat II</p>
