<p>Which books?
Should I use spark notes online?
How long should I spend studying/how long per day?
Which practice tests should I take?
etc..</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>take a practice test from CB to see where you are at. Then ask again.</p>
<p>Are there any free tests that I can take? Or do I have to go buy the collegeboard book?</p>
<p>I think barron's mathII is a pretty nice book. I only went through this book carefully and then did both the exercises of Kaplan&barron. The real test was easier than barron I think, so I had the time to check the answers twice.
I hope this advice may help you.^_^</p>
<p>I just did the Barron's pre-diagnostic and I got</p>
<p>R: 21
W: 10
O: 19</p>
<p>21 - (10 x .25) = 18.5 ---> 19</p>
<p>19 scales to 580 according to sparknotes, and I heard that Barrons is harder than the normal test by 50 or so points so let's just say 580-630.</p>
<p>I feel confident I can at least get a 750+ on this... these are questions I definitely remember doing. Obviously, the 19 omits I had no idea what to do.</p>
<p>What book should I use?
Thank you!</p>
<p>Use Barrons along with Princeton Review. That should almost guarantee you an 800.</p>
<p>^agreed, took the same path, got a 790 :[</p>
<p>yeah...use Barrons and really learn how to use your calculator (big time saver). Good luck :)</p>
<p>Oh, remember to go through the answers details carefully, the way they solve problems might be helpful.</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>Has anyone improved from a 600ish to an 800ish? If you did (and this is directed towards you) how much studying did it take?</p>
<p>it took 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Imo PR itself is fine, I just glanced over it 2 days before...but then again I didn't score an 800...780 :/</p>
<p>If you have taken Pre-Calculus before it shouldn't be a problem. But get a review book anyway just in case you forgot some stuff. It took me like 5 days to go over it</p>
<p>Is the barron's diagnostic test accurate? I got like a 33 Raw which it according to its formula is a 690...
I had about 8 wrong and 7 omits (Yeah I know I suck).
I spent the past 2-3 days reviewing princeton review's concepts and then I took the diagnostic on barron's to see if I learned anything.</p>
<p>you are doing better than me shiomi...
i never got above a 650 on Barrons. I fail. lol</p>
<p>^I doubt it...that was the **diagnostic **test and I used that barron's formula for getting an "approximate score".
And I hardly consider a 790 on the real thing failing...-.-..</p>
<p>PS:
10 days and 6 hours more untl the scores come out LOL.</p>
<p>Please don't remind me lmao!
I'm trying to keep busy reading Brisingr!</p>
<p>red barron's overprep u for the Math 2. My god, i was crying when i got 5 questions wrong in a row on its practice test. Anyways, i ended up with a 790 on the real thing....ughhhh....just one question away from an 800.</p>
