<p>Hey guys, I just started preparing for the October 2013 Math II SAT. I am using Barron's, but I am a little confused about the formatting. What do the asterisks near the explanations of questions mean? Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it means that the problem requires or is much easier to solve using a calculator.</p>
<p>Oh ok thanks!</p>
<p>Don’t use barrons math 2 it’s just too hard for the sake of how they explain it such as hyperbola and parabola which almost don’t need the formulas.</p>
<p>Wilsoncw, if you don’t recommend Barron’s, what do you recommend?
College Board book only contains 1 or 2 practice tests.</p>
<p>@steven Princeton review. Also you can go online and find some REAL past papers (past practice test) if you know the correct people. I recommend you go find some because math is just a hardcore memorizing test, so practice makes perfect. </p>
<p>IN SHORT: buy one(or two) book for strategies and go do past paper.</p>
