<p>I have no idea..i also want the answer</p>
<p>If you're taking an AP class, take the subject test that corresponds to it, if you're good at that subject. For example, I took the US History subject test in May, and I scored a 720. I used the Cracking the AP US History Exam book and the Barrons book(subject test book). I also attended my APUSH teacher's cram sessions.</p>
<p>The APUSH REA is good, but it's a bit too thick. I think the subject test book is the same, but a little bit smaller.</p>
<p>Okay, if you make a recommendation, include a legend, possibly a comment, and the score you got in that subject test.</p>
<p>with a TI 83 or higher, u can easily get an 800. just download programs from ticalc.org</p>
<p>lol at Ilidimsum7...thats funny...i doubt it...u must have gotten a 600 or somethin</p>
<p>Math 2c
Barrons : F(not slightly but way harder than the real), H (8 practice tests)
got 800</p>
<p>Chemistry
Princeton Review : B,C
easy, brief, lack of explanation, not consists of all highschool chem materials, but Good for learning material you don't know.
3rd practice test is very hard because the book does not deal with many materials in the 3rd practice test. ( i got 550)
I got 760 for the real SAT2
I think it's really hard to get 800 if you only study PR</p>
<p>Actually, i got a 700 without knowing too much of the facts. the ti program from ticalc.org instantly solves hard problems and it has lists of facts for reference. i never used a ti program yet on the test</p>
<p>LEGEND</p>
<p>A - Accurate practice tests.
B - Good for learning material you don't know.
C - Easy to read and understand.
D - Not a lot of superfluous material.
E - Teacher recommendation.
F - Slightly harder than the real thing. (Write F+ if it's a lot harder than the real thing)
G - Good practice questions (outside of the practice tests)
H - A lot of practice tests (more than 4)</p>

It is the most conversational textbook-ish thing I've ever read. Amazing at reviewing material. The practice tests are helpful for review, even though they are AP practice tests. Note: The recommender for this book is the same as the one for the Barron's book.

This book is MUCH harder than the real thing, and the recommender got 30-40 mistakes on each practice test despite getting an 800 for the actual test. Use if if you want to be very well prepared, but do not fret over a bad score, because it is highly inaccurate. Note: The recommender for this book is the same as the one for the AMSCO book.

Almost everyone uses it and my teacher recommends it, even though it's COMPLETELY unrealistic (because it's a lot harder). But, because it's so much harder, it prepares you wonderfully, and the real thing is a breeze.

Recommender 2's comment: Lacks some information, and is extremely brief and easy. However, it's good to use to learn material you don't know. The third practice test contains a lot of material that was not covered by the book, and is thus very difficult. This book isn't enough for someone who wants to get an 800.

This book includes a CD for the listening section, however it has its drawbacks. The same people were used for all the clips on the CD, which is bad because you get used to their voices. This could make you have to strain to listen to the people for the real test. It's better than nothing, though.
