<p>Hi guys, i'm an international student n' i'll take the SAT II math ic, iic this June.
I have one question about the level of difficulty of some prep books: Barron's, M.hill and Princeton Review. I know that Barron's is even more difficult than the real test but can you guys pls tell me the difference in the scores??? (btw barron's and the real test)??? I usually get a 800 in a practice test of M.Hill (in both math ic and iic), but only about 650 in a pratice test of Barron's.
Do you guys have any suggestions for me??? I'm pretty nervous? Is the M.Hill test easier than the real test?? If i can get only 650 in Barron's test, what can i get in the real test (just an estimating score??)
Thanks in advance! Your help is highly appreciated!</p>
<p>I have not used Barrons personally, but what I read on these message boards is about a 100 point increase from Barrons and the real one.</p>
<p>Yes, a 650 on Barron's guarantees that you will score between 700 and 800 on the real thing.</p>
<p>I kept scoring 650-700 on the Barron's Biology E/M practice exams. I took the real SAT II twice, canceled both times because I was afraid I wouldn't score well. Silly me, I didn't realize at the time the Barron's is far more difficult than the actual thing. I might have scored 750+ had I kept my scores.</p>
<p>barrons is dumb for math 2. i got a 630 on a practice test and a 800 on the real test without studying at all afterwards.</p>
<p>why take both math ic and math iic?</p>
<p>Math IIC covers Math IC plus a few extra topics.
if you do good on Math IIC, colleges will know you know how to do Math IC.</p>
<p>so basically it's useless to take both.</p>
<p>I wouldn't take both Math I and Math II. But anyway, Barron's really is that much more difficult. I was getting 700s on Barron's tests and got an 800 on the real thing.</p>
<p>Thank you,what about the Mc. Graw Hill's vs the Real test????</p>
<p>Yes! I got a 650 on a Barron's practice test. I don't really want an 800, so I'll good if I go up a hundred points on the real thing.</p>
