<p>Background Info: Currently in AP Biology, APUSH II, Pre-Calc/Math Analysis BC </p>
<p>I couldn't find info on this so I decided to make a new thread.</p>
<p>What is the BEST WAY for me to prepare for the Chemistry, Biology M, US History, and Math II SAT SUBJECT TESTS? Please include the best prep books I should purchase and also any other tips I might find helpful. I've heard Barron's is the best but I wanted a broader opinion. Thanks CC so much!</p>
<p>I would take each test after/towards the end of each respective class.</p>
<p>I took Bio after honors bio, so AP Bio should be good prep for the test. That being said, I know that what the AP emphasizes and SAT emphasizes are a little different, so it’s worth your time to pick up an SAT centric book. I used Princeton and got 800. Princeton is simple/more straightforward and should be suitable as you are already taking AP Bio. I found that Barron’s was a little too long winded. </p>
<p>Didn’t take Hist, but a lot of my friends took it after AP testing and seemed like they did okay without too much additional studying. Noticed that Barrons and AMSCO together were the books of choice. </p>
<p>I’m studying for Math II right now using Barrons. Generally easy to read and fast to get through. Pretty much the only book I’ve seen people use but from what I’ve heard, it’s harder than the actual test. Multiple people have told me that they were scoring 600s and low 700s but got 800 on the actual so, I guess take the scores you get with a grain of salt. </p>
<p>Didn’t take chemistry, as I did well on Bio and called it a day. I’ve seen Princeton and Barrons. I’d try to look at both and see which book is better suited to your needs. I looked through the test after Honors Chem and I found that I knew most of the material. Looked even easier after taking AP Chem. The true and false section still irked me though. </p>
<p>This might just be my jaded self talking, but because you plan on taking humanities, math, and science, taking both Bio and Chem is a bit redundant unless the major you plan on pursuing specifies it. Most schools prefer different subjects. I’d say pass on chemistry to make your life easier. The people that I know that took both Bio and Chem took Chem (after Bio) because they weren’t happy with their Bio score, didn’t feel like retaking it, and wanted a different science to offset it. </p>
<p>Like I said earlier, take the tests after AP testing/completing the textbook, but that means a lot of tests at once, so you can be lazy (like me) and defer one to the next year. I’d say math because I find it easier to retain math over a long period of time without studying, but that might just be me.</p>
<p>barron’s for chemistry is really good, it contains a bit more material than needed, as well as the tests are a bit harder… But in the end I’m really confident going into the test tomorrow</p>
<p>Yeah and people have told me not to, “waste”, my time on Chemistry as I am already taking Bio, Us History and Math II. But that was helpful. Seems like Barron’s, Princeton Review is the way to go and luckily I got an Amsco book for History. Thanks!</p>
<p>For math2 and chemistry keep taking practice tests over and over again. I guess for US and bio you have to keep on memorizing? lol</p>
<p>my school does not offer APUSH. I am thinking about taking the SAT US history in June.</p>
<p>Is it possible to self-study for the test in the time I have left?</p>
