<p>I'm taking the Math SAT II in October and everyone I have been talking to says its really really difficult and some of the questions are like impossible. Is this true? I have been going through the Princeton Review Book and the material doesn't seem too hard as of now. For anybody that has taken it, is it really that hard?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>No. Whoever you talked too probably aren’t that good at math at all or are trying to psych you. I used the Barrons book for review and got a 780. The test wasn’t that hard at all. I made some dumb mistakes that cost me an 800. But it is pretty easy to get a 700+</p>
<p>For me The test was similar to kaplan’s practice tests but i kept on getting a little less than 700 on them so i thougt it was difficult. Then i practiced using barrons, and never got higher than 700 on them but the actual test was soooo much easier. I got 800 :)</p>
<p>Oh wow congrats! Did you ever use the Princeton Review Book? I am using it right now and im going to take them next week. Do you suggest me doing the barrons book as well?</p>
<p>I think I used Kaplan and Princeton and I averaged 740-780 on practice tests. Then I took the real thing and got an 800. The Math II test isn’t too hard, just be careful to not make stupid mistakes. Adrenaline/pressure will also (hopefully) help in the testing center, so if you’re not averaging as high as you would like on practice tests, don’t lose hope. :)</p>
<p>No I didn’t use it, but I heard PR is in general pretty good. Barron’s is much more difficult than the actual test, so after practicing with it, the actual test will seem really easy. I also know a friend who got an 800 after using only Barrons. I suggest using it, but I don’t want you to be stressing out. ^^</p>
<p>Ya if you are good at math it shouldn’t be that difficult. I didn’t even use a book and got an 800, but I do remember some challenging questions. You just have to focus a lot during the test and make sure you know all the concepts that will be on the subject test. Good Luck 
If you do use a prep book my friends told me that either Princeton Review or Barron’s is good.</p>
