How you guys been doing so far studying for it in the last month of time available?
Suggest the best prep book available.
Kindly share some TI-Graphing Calculator programs that might be useful here. Thanks.
WE WILL BE DISCUSSING OUR TEST EXPERIENCE AND SCORE HERE.
ALL THE BEST TO ALL !! 
(Hope this Thread helps all the person taking this round, letās make it happen. YEEEAAAAaaa)
After the june test is over feel free to discuss questions and give your thoughts
Iām dying with the Barronās Math book here. I donāt think I can finish it in time. Though, since I have taken the PR tests and Barronās diagnostic test and the the results werenāt so bad, Iām not too worried about it.
About the prep books, I hate the PR book with a passion. Itās pretty terrible. Barronās is way too hard, even though itās a lot more comprehensive than the PR one. Does anyone have any other suggestion?
Everyone speaks of how Barron overpreps you - and it does. But at the same time it only has 2, maybe 3 practice tests from what I remember so if youāre like me and youāre just absurdly slow at going through the problems, maybe consider getting Dr. John Chungās SAT II - itās got 57 ātipsā in the front, which is just ways to solve the most common question types on the test, and then TWELVE, 12, TWELVE practice tests. While Iāve noticed the tests arenāt totally similar to SAT format (no roman numeral questions, for one) Iām hoping they will help me up my speed and accuracy. Iād say continue using Barronās for overall coverage of topics? But get another prep book for practice tests if you find yourself consistently pressed for time.
(for reference, the first time I took the test, I only prepped with Barrons, was getting ~650 on the practice tests there, got a 730 on the actual test, which is only 50th percentile for the Math II soā¦ Barronās was definitely harder, it prepares you wellā¦ I was just too freaking slow and had to skip over 6 questions. Iām retaking it in June and hoping for a 800 this time!)
***also, I did download some calculator programs but Iād say they donāt save that much time or help that much (actually slowed me down a little because I had to question if I wanted to use a program for a couple questions and the deliberation cost me time), except for the equation solver that comes with the TI-89 anyway.
Wait why does everyone keep saying Barronās is hard? I got a 790 on the diagnostic pretty easilyā¦Also, definitely not that good at math, soā¦
@Smargent Well, Baronās is hard to me because it provides way, way too much information, not that its problems are particularly hard per se. Though that perceived hardness of Baronās can also be attributed to the lack of time since Iām balancing finals and SAT 2 at the same time. Baronās Chemistry is even worse than its Math 2. My major heavily involves Chemistry, and Iām having a hard time with all of that information.
@deerHan I donāt know, there seem to be two completely opposite opinion about Dr.Chungās. Some people praise it as their saviors. Some say that itās trash and full of mistakesā¦ Though I notice that PWN the SAT Math Guide always receives the best reviews.
@deerHan what are the score you get from the practice test of John Chung, im going throught over it as well. I think his tests are kinda hard but the tips is very usefull for me.
I think most of the criticism of Chungās books are based on his regular SAT prep books, not subject tests. PWN does not have a subject test book.
Dr. Steve does have a subject test book. He does good work for the regular SAT so Iām expecting good things from his subject test book.
@Synonyms I havenāt seen any mistakes so far, but I am only a fraction of the way in. The tips are really useful though!
@dopefresh Iāve only taken 1 so far with not much studying before and got a 660, so definitely need to improve on that. His tests do seem pretty difficult to me as well so hopefully that ends up being a plus on the actual test. My only concern is that his question format doesnāt seem very close to collegeboard (no roman numerals, maybe not all the same types of questions/coverage of material?), what do you think?
I went over this practice test, donāt really no if itās accurate or not:----> http://www.cimat.mx/~gil/docencia/2014/algebraII/guia_final/exam7.pdf
I only have a Princeton review book from 2007-2008 which might be easier than the 2015 test is going to be, so do you think it would be too late to order the Barrons 2015 one for the June test?
@JuicyMango The general consensus is that PR is definitely (a bit) easier than the actual thing, so you may want to consult another prep book. At this point in time, I think itās a bit late to start with Barronās, but if youāre a fast learner and need to review the mathematical concepts, Iād say go for it. Just remember to allot lots of time for it.
If the problem is the time constraint though, you may want to look at other books that offer tips like the above-mentioned Dr.Chungās, if itās as good as deerHan and CHD2013 said.
Iām still dying with Baronās Math here. Why is that thing so long? continue to procrastinate by studying for Chem
^Haha thanks :). I have a lot of time on my hands since all of my AP tests are done so Iāll definitely (hopefully) be able to finish the Barronās book fully. I donāt think time constraint is a problem for me as of now.
Btw disregard the link to that practice test because after taking it, its definitely WAY harder than the actual SAT math level 2 test. It used De Moivres theorem for one of the problems :/.
How well would i be prepared if i solved all of DR Chungsās tests?
And does anyone have any experiance with the book ā15 Realistic Sat Math2 by rusen meylaniā
@guy6127 I would say Dr. Chungās prepares you skills-wise but as Iāve mentioned above its test format is a bit different from collegeboard so I would suggest going through another prep book as well or looking at the released sample questions/the official collegeboard prep book.
@guy6127 the 15 realistic sat math2 from others review I heard that it is totally difficult compare to the real test but it would be a good practice if you are really looking for the difficult problems
Anyone can send me Barronās Test, please? I canāt order book now 
@zoannguyen Itās on crackSAT. Google it. Itās against the rule to post illegal material here.
@Synoyms Thanks so much!!!
@JuicyMango Where the heck did you get that test from? I could only finish, like, 35 questions on it before time ran out. And I usually have 30 or so minutes to spare on other practice tests! That thing is insane.
@ypmagic No, itās most definitely not the Baronās diagnostic test. I did that already and got an 800 (barely, though) with 15 minutes to spare. This thing is even worse than that one.
