<p>Ok. I'll be taking the U.S. History, Math IIC, and German SAT II exams late spring of next year... Are the REA books any good? I've heard they're the best. Thanks .</p>
<p>I've never used one, but some claim they are the best, and others call them crap...</p>
<p>REA is good for AP Euro and AP US</p>
<p>Yeah...I agree...REA is really good for AP Euro.</p>
<p>All I know is that they have undoubtedly THE worst SAT II bio book. I've lost all respect for them.</p>
<p>Thanks. What books are REALLY good for SAT II U.S., IIC, & German?</p>
<p>US= REA hands down</p>
<p>REA OWNS ALL FOR SAT 2 US HIST. -- I attribute book to my 790 =]</p>
<p>Amsco is better for AP US. It does a better job with trends. REA might have more facts though.</p>
<p>REA Math IIC and Bio SAT II were the worst books I have ever used.</p>
<p>In bio, they covered stupid things that nobody needs to know for the SAT II.</p>
<p>In math, they did the same thing, covering easy, but useless topics. Additionally, a lot of their practice test problems were printed differently than in the answer key. Many, many typos like that. Made me very frustrated, looking at the answer key after taking a test and seeing that a question was wrong, and then realizing that REA just screwed up the question and typed in "+" instead of "-" or something dumb like that.</p>
<p>I don't know about other subjects, but definitely don't trust REA for math or bio SAT II's.</p>
<p>I've heard it's good with U.S. History, as been reported by many of you. What about with German? And is the new 2006 7th edition math level 2 book THAT bad? I mean, it's the 7th edition, it should be updated so those errors don't appear anymore. Thank you all for your extensive input.</p>
<p>REA is simply the best. I used REA for IIC. After 3 days and 2 practice tests, I got 800.</p>
<p>--- Yeah--- I've heard that they're the best company out there. I hope their German study-guide is good, because there aren't many other ones out there.</p>
