<p>I bought Barron's the first time but I hated it. So does anyone have any suggestions?</p>
<p>I didn't really use anything, I just borrowed my friend's Official SAT Subject Test book thingymabob, and looked at that the morning of the test. What was wrong with the Barron's book?</p>
<p>kaplan! and a weekly tutor for $50 for 2 hours for about 6 weeks but ill only be able to tell u when the scores come out</p>
<p>Wow, paying for a tutor just for one test? Seems like overkill to me...</p>
<p>I didn't like Barron's because it seemed to be harder than when I took the actual test (I ended up cancelling my scores and that's why I'm taking them again)...and although I understand that it would probably help me get better prepared, it only frustrated me. I need something like Gruber's SAT I book, I loved it.</p>
<p>I don't think I'll get a tutor since I actually tried that and I realized that I work better alone. He was a great tutor though, but when I learn/study I need to have time to take things in and a tutor doesn't really allow for that.</p>
<p>Johnboy it seems like you're pretty good at math if you went confidently into the test without much preparation...it's too bad I'm not like that. and also, on a random note, if your birthday's the 19th of august...then we have the same birthday! lol.</p>
<p>maylani's math iic books are good but they are similar to barrons because they are harder than the real tests...PR is the only book close to the real test or the kaplan ones but personally i hate kaplan ones..</p>
<p>so PR should be what you choose</p>
<p>I used Barron and take the test this month... think I did pretty well... but the problem I found with the book is not that it's harder than the real test, which I think it's good, but that it covers some subjects that didn't appeared on the test... and which also were the hardest in the book. It causes you to spend a lot of time trying to figure out topics you don't need.</p>
<p>Edit: By the way, I still think the book was really helpful, it just frustrates you a bit when you are trying too learn most of the things really close to the test date...</p>
<p>i've tried them all and none are really that close</p>
<p>the PR is probably the closest though</p>
<p>I liked Kaplan because at the end of each chapter, it lists a page worth of important thoerems or equations that you'll definately need. That was helpful cause I only had to refer to the actual chapters when I had trouble using an equation or understanding a theorem. But I hated their tests.</p>
<p>W the F is up with Baron's putting out calculus when I saw none in the official SAT II books</p>
<p>anyway I have much to learn about the SATIIs</p>
<p>What calculus?</p>
<p>Limits would probably be the only calculus thing there. But the limit question is always very easy.</p>
<p>Sorry, my birthday is August 11th ^_^</p>
<p>And I'm not that great at math, though it is easily my best subject area.</p>
<p>wow, thanks for all the replies you guys. </p>
<p>fd88ar, that's kinda what i meant to say lol. i wouldn't want to spend time on something that's not even gonna appear on the test, especially with the test date rapidly approaching. hmm i'll definitely look at PR and Maylani's. Thank you!</p>

rofl, thought the exact same thing when i was looking at some prac problems today. minimum/maximum = calculus in addition to the limits.</p>
<p>use barrons to pwn it and ur math classes</p>
