<p>Barron's or Princeton Review?</p>
<p>or what's your best prep?</p>
<p>...anybody?</p>
<p>Try using the search function. It's been discussed before.</p>
<p>Yes but since the June Chem SATII just passed, I want to know which book the confident takers used. The other posts are dated.</p>
<p>And there have been previous Chem SATIIs that people have taken...I don't see your point. Prep books don't change from month to month.</p>
<p>Uhmm chillax :/</p>
<p>PR is good for most of it, but if you really want to get 770+ it's not enough.</p>
<p>I heard Barron's has too much depth, but I guess it won't hurt (too much at least) to know the information too well...</p>
<p>I'd recommend Barrons... DO NOT get KAPLAN's review book... It goes specific in all the wrong sections, and goes very broad in the sections that count.</p>
<p>^ha, isn't that exactly what a prep book should do? ;]</p>
<p>Okay so it's decided...</p>
<p>CB Blue Book + Rocket Review for the SAT I's
Barron's Chem for the SAT II's</p>
<p>woooo!</p>
<p>For the chem sat II, i would recommend Sparknotes. Barrons is a BIG waste of time. The tests are HORRIBLE. Sparknotes covers the chem the best and the pract. tests are the closest.</p>
<p>Sparknotes>PR>Kaplan=Barrons </p>
<p>Kaplan has more accurate tests, but Barrons covers the material a little better.</p>
<p>This is my opinion.</p>
<p>Haha you guys are killing me. </p>
<p>Well I guess I'll check them both out and decide at Barnes and Noble :]</p>
<p>I used Barrons, and it was not like the test. I looked at PR and Kaplans and they seemed fine but not great. Sparknotes online review was amazing and I imagine the real book is even better. I would buy that.</p>
<p>When you say Barron's is not like the test, do you mean it's too hard?</p>
<p>It is too hard and it doesnt cover everything that is on the real SAT. All 4 tests follow the same structure of questions and tweak them a little.</p>
<p>...so SparkNotes?</p>
<p>Yup. I had all 4 books: sn,pr,barrons,kaplan. I only studied out of SN and PR. SN was a little better than PR.</p>
<p>I think I'm actually going with PR then.</p>
<p>I read over other threads and for every 25 posts, SparkNotes would come up, while PR and Barron's were recurring.</p>
<p>I bought PR, even though Sparknotes and Barron's seemed much more convincing in B&N.</p>
<p>im leaning towards barrons because without AP background..overpreparing may be a good thing</p>
