<p>I thought that because the same thread for AP was such a success, we should start one for the SAT II's. I recommend Barrons for the SAT II World History.</p>
<p>Bio-Princeton Review</p>
<p>for me</p>
<p>Biology - Kaplan, definitely
World - Barrons
US - Amsco/REA
Math I/IIC - Barron and Meylani
Lit - Kaplan
Physics - Peterson's or Barrons
Chemistry - Barrons</p>
<p>Chemistry - Barron's, PR is good too</p>
<p>I used Princeton Review for both the Math IIC and Physics tests.</p>
<p>The main thing I disliked about the PR Physics book is its lack of derivations for a few really important equations. For some reason I hate using equations without knowing how to derive them.</p>
<p>i have used both barrons and mcgill for math2 and chem, and barrons and kaplan for phy. mcgill's presentation of info looks more appealing. but i have no idea which helped me the most cuz i did both books simultaneously. anyway, i got full marks for my sat2.</p>
<p>Chemistry - Barron's, NOT Kaplan
Math - PR, Barron's if you have time
Physics - PR, Barron's, maybe Kaplan</p>
<p>Use Sparknotes as a supplement.</p>
<p>History-Kaplan, REA, CB
Literature-Kaplan and PR
Math-PR, Barrons, CB</p>
<p>These are the prep books I used for these tests, and found them helpful.</p>
<p>Physics-sparknotes.</p>
<p>all books have their downsides but I'd say that
Barron's is best for Bio ad Math despite the useless crap it sometimes has and the difficult questions.</p>
<p>bump........</p>

<p>I just consolidated some of the above posts. Please edit. :)</p>
<p>Physics - PR
Math I- ???
Math II- Barrons, Meylani, PR</p>
<p>Math II: SparkNotes - quite close (a bit easier); Barron's - to overprep; Meylani - way hard and not very realistic.</p>
