<p>Does anyone have any idea how to correlate a score in Dr. Chung's SAT Math 2 book to a score on the actual test? My highest score from his book was a 690. I know I have work to do between now and the test on June 1, but I was just wondering where I'm at (if that is realistic, too low, or too high).</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I want to know too. Bump</p>
<p>In my DD’s experience, the Chung book is significantly more difficult than the actually sat math II. She regularly scored mid 700s with the Chung book, but aced the real test easily.</p>
<p>I’m also using Dr. Chung’s book. I’m barely scraping 700 on most of the tests I’m doing (I’ve done 6) but I’ve heard that hitting 700 will get a mid- to high-700 on the actual, if not an 800. I think it’s good that it’s harder on the actual test (although I tend to spend a lot more time on Dr. Chung’s than the 1 hour that’s allotted), but I find the tips slightly annoying, since they’re written in such didactic and non-student-friendly form.</p>
<p>I took like 2-3 of Dr. Chung’s and the best I got using 60 minutes was a 720. I took the May test and I think I got an 800, if not then high 700’s (scores come out tomorrow.) Some questions on the Dr. Chung’s tests are really helpful, but its pretty hard to predict a real score from a Dr. Chung’s score, so don’t stress out about it. Just keep taking his tests (and a more realistic book too) and you’ll do fine.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>I’m pushing to get mid-700’s in Dr. Chung’s… though today I just got a 600 on Test 7. Ouch. At least everyone agrees the real thing isn’t as hard…</p>
<p>I wish everyone the best who’s taking it on June 1!</p>
<p>Ayy supersoaker101, would you mind posting your score so I get a rough idea of Chung’a book and the actual test correlation? Totes ok if you’re not comfortable with that though. Thanks~</p>

<li> I took a lot of practice tests in various other books besides Dr. Chung’s though (PR, Kaplan, Barron’s) and I read Mcgraw-hill cover-to-cover to make sure i knew all the topics. So idk how much of my score is based off of studying Dr. Chung’s, but I definitely think it helped.</li>

<p>Congrats supersoaker101!</p>
<p>OK, I’ll probably try getting some of the other books through the library…</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks, supersoaker101! That makes me feel a teeny bit better</p>
<p>no problem! Just remember that a range of books is always better, as no book is completely covers what’s gonna be on it.</p>
<p>Just wanted to update this thread for anyone who might come along: I got the results back about a week ago and got an 800! So Dr. Chung’s book is definitely harder than the real thing.</p>
<p>Same here, I used Chung’s book, made low 700s, then took the real thing and made an 800. I only started using this book about a week before the test, so it’s not like you have to use this book for a long time to reap the benefits.</p>
