<p>Do you mean, do we recommend that you take them, or what books do we recommend?</p>
<p>I can't recommend a good book for Physics. Sorry, I just don't know them. I recommend no book for IIc.</p>
<p>The thing is, I did Introductory Calculus over 1 year ago now, and whilst I know the concepts pretty much off by heart, I would like to do a few practise tests just to reassure myself.</p>
<p>Can someone who's looked at the Physics/Math IIC books recommend on for each, please!!</p>
<p>kaplan for physics. ( i used that...and i think it is comprehensive )</p>
<p>on the whole i think in term of the difficulty level of the tests:</p>
<p>kaplan's practice tests < actual test < barron's practice tests</p>
<p>barrons is way harder than the real test, kaplan is somewhat easier.now you can choose which one you want to buy. </p>
<p>if you want practice tests...buy them online at sparknotes....they will give you a "detailed analysis" too....(the books are free but the tests are not)....:D</p>
<p>i dont know much about princeton review but from what i have seen of it...it is in the same league as kaplan</p>
<p>hope that helped... :)</p>
<p>some more last minute advice:
Be sure you are well versed with FUNCTIONS
the math ii c asks loads of questions on that
stupid graphs and stuff
if you are fine with functions
consider the battle half won.</p>
<p>In chemistry the mole concept, normality, molarity, balancing equations and the like are important. You will be able to maneuver well through the test, provided you use some logic and common sense bluff intelligently. :D</p>
<p>In physics..ummm newtons laws of motion, gravity, momentum, electricity, magnetism are the most tested topics .there are always some really easy questions on relativity so dont skip that topic.</p>
<p>Barrons has around 8 practice tests .. but they arent a bit similar to the real test sparknotes is much better.</p>
<p>ahhh man, what would the world be like without champions like you... thanks a lot for that advice, i guess ill get kaplan then. i did half of the Math IIC test today for the fun of it, but man it got soo boring. I'm not sure if I got everything right because I do normally tend to make careless errors, but it didn't seem like a fuss at all. I'm going to give the Physics practise test a go tomorrow :) And I just wondering, you wouldn't happen to have bought any of those practise tests, and be interested in giving me a little look? :p</p>
<p>sorry...actually i bought the books...i find it somewhat tough to give practice tests online...if i am not mistaken they let you take a free test to...as a sample...why dont you check it out??? also, be sure to memorize the formulae given at the end of each chapter...:)</p>
<p>ask me whenever you have a doubt....in physics or chemistry...i am good at them. :D </p>
<p>as for the FREE SPARKNOTES ONLINE TEST...register first...and then check it out...i actually gave a free SAT I test....so i guess that takes care of your practice physics test...:D</p>
<p>and if you buy kaplan for physics...it has three practice tests...</p>
<p>more than enough i guess...you dont want to practice to much either...or else you might find yourself yawning while taking the real test...:D</p>
<p>hehe i did maths IIC and lit. i did disastrously on french but then again i didnt take it for two years. the jan sitting is going to be my 4th shot and im self studying US history.. it might be too late to get test prep from amazon.com unless you get the courier service... your third subject should be chemistry. this is the least unpredictable one. Did you do well on the cr section of SATI? if you did then may be think about taking literature...</p>
<p>i used barrons for maths IIC but find it really hard compared to the real test</p>
<p>lol I love the quaint British/European/Australian terms :D You're not sitting the tests, you're taking them. It's not the January sitting, it's the January test date. Math is singular. If you're going to go to Harvard, you'll have to adopt the boorish American way of saying things! hehe</p>
<p>But everyone knows maths is plural ;)</p>
<p>Not in America it's not ;) My proof? Look! "But everyone knows maths is plural ;)". But if it were really plural, wouldn't you say "everyone knows maths are plural?" Ha! Caught in a lie!</p>
<p>:p</p>
<p>Actually, is that right? You would say "mathematics is fun," not "mathematics are fun." Is that the same?</p>
<p>GuitarMan is mostly right, but his proof is faulty. ;-)</p>
<p>Mathematics, though a plural noun, is treated as a singular noun in construction. Hence, "mathematics is fun".</p>
<p>However, even if mathematics is plural in construction, one would still say "mathematics is plural", or more accurately, "'mathematics' is plural". Here, the verb is referring to a word, rather than the definition of the word. As an example: "'ducks' is a word with ambiguous allusions".</p>
<p>QED</p>
<p>or, TTB</p>
<p>Duality gets the Smart Award for the day!</p>
<p>But, one issue is still unresolved:
Is the word 'maths' singular or plural in construction?
-> maths is fun vs. maths are fun</p>
<p>who cares...
maths is BORING...DULL...</p>
<p>This is the sort of language up with which I shall not put.</p>
<p>Hahaha
:D
dont worry
but I really dont find math fun
.but I like calculus
differential equations
and differentiation
.are faintly
interesting :D</p>
<p>"Not in America it's not My proof? Look! "But everyone knows maths is plural ". But if it were really plural, wouldn't you say "everyone knows maths are plural?" Ha! Caught in a lie!"</p>
<p>Ah you Americans hehehe.. so, so wrong - maybe one day you'll be able to outwit a Brit though ;)</p>
