Physics and Math 2 SAT II practice papers

<p>Hi, I will be taking the Physics and Math II subject tests around October, and personally I find that the best way to improve is through practice papers. I've already done one Math II practice paper from the collegeboard book and scored 790. I found that I hadn't covered about two of the topics.</p>

<p>To study the topics I haven't done, I simply use my IB books to learn the stuff from scratch (I do IB Math HL), since we haven't yet covered it in class. Is this wise, or would you suggest that I use the SAT books to review these topics? I find that studying from my IB books is like killing two birds with one stone.</p>

<p>I tend to do the same for physics, however I have not done any practice papers, nor do I have any SAT books for physics other than those which I have for IB (again, I take Physics HL).</p>

<p>For Math, I have the Barron's book and the Collegeboard book. However, I'd like more sources of practice papers. I've found the following:</p>

<p>15 Realistic Tests for the SAT Math: 15</a> Realistic Tests for the SAT Math Level 2 Subject Test: Formerly Known as SAT Math Level IIC: Amazon.co.uk: Rusen Meylani: Books</p>

<p>If you look at amazon.com, many people say that the practice papers are much more difficult than the real test, but has anyone found this effective? Apparently the questions simply require a bit more thinking? Wouldn't that be good? What about the Princeton Review book? How accurate have you found the practice papers from that to be?</p>

<p>For physics, I found the Princeton Review book to have the highest ratings all round (Amazon.com:</a> Cracking the SAT Physics Subject Test, 2007-2008 Edition (College Test Preparation): Princeton Review: Books). How accurate are the practice papers from this book? What about the Sparknotes practice papers?</p>

<p>Could you perhaps post your scores on the practice papers from Princeton Review/Sparknotes or whatever other books there are versus you actual score?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>If it helps decide on book(s), I’m aiming for 800s on both tests and have thus far scored 7s in both maths and physics at IB.</p>

<p>Princeton Review and Sparknotes are both good for physics.</p>

<p>My scores:
PR: 800, 750
Sparknotes: 780, 790, 790
CB practice: 800
CB real: 800</p>

<p>Well, for Math II, I got 770 on the barron’s test and 800 on the real one, so I guess barron’s score is about 30 points below the actual score.</p>

<p>^ Is that for math or physics?</p>
