<p>Does anyone have any advice for the best books to use for the SAT II French and MathIIC? Thanks!</p>
<p>french- princeton review. i got an 800 using it-- it gives good vocab and explains everything clearly. what i found especially helpful was the chart of commonly mixed-up words/phrases in french. the practice tests were basically the same as the real test.
math- i'm studying for the october test with barron's. i've heard that it's much harder than the actual test though. if you want a book that will adequately prepare you, try princeton review; if you want one that will prepare you beyond the required material, try barron's.
i hope this helped- good luck! :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice! It's much appreciated. :)</p>
<p>yea, barron's is tough, but it will prepare you...</p>
<p>im not the smartest of fellows, but, i used sparknotes... i got a 660 on the first practice test, and a 700 on my second one...on the real sat IIc, i got a 740...some find it harder, others find it easier...</p>
<p>it kinda fluctuates with sparknotes...
just my two cents :)</p>
<p>I'm kind of thinking of taking French, instead of Chemistry, but then I'd end up with Lit, French, and Chinese. Three languages. Not good.</p>
<p>PR - if u read it all, u might want to buy some sample tests, there are som e offered on amazon through a guy named Russen Meylani, if you can ace those, the real test is cake. i read PR and took those tests, got an 800.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. unefleur -- the only PR French book I found on Amazon is from 1996. Is that what yours is or do you think that's too outdated?</p>
<p>Just kidding, I just found a different PR French book. Is it called "Cracking the SAT French Subject Test"?</p>
<p>I just bought Russen Meylani's books, and I have the SATII Math I and 2 Barron's books...and Russen's practice tests are so much harder than the Barron's tests, and even they are supposed to be harder then the real test. Russen's book is insane! How much easier is the real one than Russen's one?</p>
<p>oh I tried Russen's for math Level II, but the real test is much easier. Don't even look at it, it just messed me up. You won't see those kinds of question of the SAT II.</p>
<p>I just don't agree. Russen's tests made me score 800 in 10 days.</p>
<p>Overpreparing always works for math, where the test tests concepts, not specific questions.</p>
<p>did you know that some questions in meylani tests appeared almost unchanged on the real 2C test? just an observation...</p>
