<p>for those of u who got 750+ on the math 2c test, what review books do u think were the best to prepare for the test? </p>
<p>currently i'm doing everything in the kaplan review book and i'm going to start the practice tests in the back, but do u think this book is helpful for the actual math 2c test?</p>
<p>i also have the mcgrawhill book too.......is mcgrawhill helpful?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Can somebody please reply? thanks</p>
<p>Simply put, people say anything Kaplan’s is garbage. I have McGraw Hill and it gave me the perfect estimation of what my score would be. Not only that, but it almost perfectly represents the real test. It has a lot of examples that might help you understand the material. However, it looks as though Barron’s is god and I’ve actually found that to be true also. Barron’s has a lot of practice problems and very hard practice tests that prepare you VERY well for the test. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>I took the Math2 Subject Test on June 6, right after finishing my Pre-Cal class. It helped that I took the test a week after school ended while everything was fresh in my mind.</p>
<p>Using ‘Kaplan’s Math 2 Study Guide’, I read and did everything in the review sections. I also underlined important things or things I didn’t know as well, and tagged each page that I felt was important for a last-minute review. I wanted to be able to retake the 4 practice tests, so I made copies of the answer sheet and didn’t write on the test section. Well, that sort of worked but after reviewing all 4 tests the first time and then retaking all 4, I realized I remembered how to do many problems. That obviously increased my score the second time I took each test, so it is not an entirely accurate method. But it also showed what I really needed to study if I missed the same problem twice. I would only recommend doing this if you are entirely sure you will not cheat, otherwise it’s useless.</p>
<p>I also bought the “Official SAT Subject Math 1 & 2 Study Guides” just for the practice tests after I finished the Kaplan book. Otherwise, I would not recommend it for studying because it had little information compared to Kaplan.</p>
<p>Basically, keep practicing!!! Stay focused while reading the review material. I even studied the back pages of Kaplan on the drive over to the test site.</p>
<p>*If you take good notes, stay focused, and understand the material to a good extent, yes I thought the Kaplan study guide was fine. I haven’t taken any other SAT test or used any other company’s guides before, so I cannot compare.</p>
<p>BTW- I got a 790 :)</p>
<p>Hope this helps… good luck!!</p>
<p>Barrons ftw
