My Test Prep(Please comment)

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am taking the SAT(october), SAT II Chem(nov), Sat II Math II(nov), and Act(oct). These are my plans on how to study for each one :</p>

<pre><code> SAT - RR, Grubers, Barrons, Blue book, Princeton 11 tests, collegeboard online tests, Actual tests from past SAT's that i got from my friends who ordered QAS, and Barron's 3500 words

         SAT II Chem- Barron's, Princeton, and one AP prep book(because i want to get a 750+ and overpreparing might seem good for my goal), tests from all the books(even the ones i dont have)

        SAT II Math II - Barron's, Princetonm and test from all books

        ACT - Red book, Barron's, and Princeton Review

</code></pre>

<p>P.S. - Which Ap prep book is the best?</p>

<p>PR is the best for AP Chem. If you do buy PR for AP Chem don’t buy PR for the SATII. It’d be a waste of money.</p>

<p>For SAT that’s honestly too much. Buy Grubers, Blue Book, and maybe RR. Learn some strategies and review with RR and Grubers and then just start going through practice tests. Only then if you need more use QAS’s, online tests, etc.. I don’t really recommend using outside companies SAT tests, the Xiggi Method and Grammatix agree.</p>

<p>For ACT - I’m just using the Red Book and Barrons. It should be plenty.</p>

<p>For Math 2 - Take the tests from Sparknotes (theres a way to get them free, its on this site somewhere), study from Barrons, and practice more with Meylani if you need it. If you have trouble understanding Barrons pick up PR.</p>

<p>You actually have a similar testing plan that I have:</p>

<p>October:
SAT
ACT
November:
SAT2 Physics
SAT2 Math2
December:
SAT retake if necessary</p>

<p>PR is great for the ACT and for the SAT my friend gave me the barrons workbooks for each section. The barrons math was particularly good. The only good thing about the blue book for the SAT was that it had lots of practice tests, but the explanations sucked. For AP prep I used PR and sparknotes AP packs. Princeton Review seems to cover precisely what is on the AP test consistently, which saves you time studying things you don’t need to be studying. The spark notes was also good because it came with flashcards, a cd rom, and a bunch of other things that made studing a easer because you could mix it up more.</p>

<p>actually just organize your time to study everything you intend. those materials are good for you. you may save time for the math as well.
SAT II Chem: I suggest you not buying it. That book is written in such a way that I could not understand and totally got lost. try the PR first and if you’re not satisfied, go with Barron.</p>
