I would not recommend Barronā€™s. I studied for like two months with that book and honestly it taught a lot of unnecessary thingsā€¦Iā€™m one of those people that would normally be okay with learning extra details for the learning experience in general, but Barronā€™s really gave me a lot of useless formulas and other crap that I have never needed to (nor think I will need to) know.
I was freaking out cause I thought I wasnā€™t prepared for the test cause I didnā€™t know a ton of the stuff in the Barronā€™s book and I got an 800.
Honestly the math sat is mostly logic in my opinion. That and problem solving.
Barronā€™s was only good for teaching me to rely on my calc more; your calc will really get you through the test with a lot less thinking and a lot more ease. But you can learn to use your calc more from other books.
Iā€™m normally gunho for overprepping but in this case it was a complete waste of time -_-
Of course, this is all my opinion XP</p>

<p>Got a 690 without even touching the calculatorā€¦ Do you think I can raise it to an 800? BTW I didnā€™t touch the Calculator because I forgot it [-( </p>

<p>800- first time
I made a discussion for Math2 entitled ā€œExperience and tips for Math 2 subject testā€ if you need help.</p>

<p>Feel free to message me if you have any questions!</p>

calc will definitely raise your score a ton-- as @theoneandonly1ā€Œ said, " a lot less thinking and a lot more ease"</p>

<p>I literally didnā€™t study for the december one lol, I am currently taking precalculus Honors as a junior and that might be the reason why. Thank god this test didnā€™t have so much for matrix and finding the middle term. Just to throw some tips, you should really master your calculator knowledge. Finding the maximum and minimum output of a certain function, even and odd function, basic trig rules like sin^2theta will definitely help you. Also, make sure to know your surface areas and volumes, because they love those questions. </p>
