<p>i just need to know the best prep books for the following subject tests:</p>
<p>Math Level 2
Chemistry
World History(I have no past experience with this and have never taken world history at school, so i will be learning the material at the same time)</p>
<p>Barron's and Kaplan books</p>
<p>will those be sufficient to self-learn all of the world history material?</p>
<p>Yes, Kaplan will be</p>
<p>Just make sure you don't get Princeton Review</p>
<p>ok so kaplan for world history </p>
<p>and barrons for the other two?</p>
<p>I heard that kaplan was bad for world history, but I thought kaplan was good for math 2c if you can ingore the errors.</p>
<p>dont use barrons for math lvl 2 unless you pretty much know the content of the test and only need a quick review. i used barrons, and it sucked for me because i couldnt understand their explanations, i felt their lessons were too short and curtailed to be quick. Test day went bad for me as I panicked and omitted 4. Anyways, with a week of prep with barrons I got 730. I was expecting a 760 atleast since the curve is pretty advantageous for lvl 2.</p>
<p>ok some people are telling me kaplan is enough to self learn world history while others are saying its horrible</p>
<p>:] Princeton Review for Math.
Kaplan for Chemistry and World History. :] Goodluck!</p>
<p>How can you use a review book to self learn a subject? Are you serious? Especially World History. I hope you know you are in for quite a ride.</p>
<p>I heard that the practice in world history for kaplan was bad but if I'm the only one, mabey that person was wrong? As for chem, Kaplan all the way.</p>
<p>Math Level 2 (BARRONS)
Chemistry (BARRONS)
World History (no idea but probably BARRONS)</p>
<p>Barrons is harder and goes more indepth but it definitely prepares you for the worst.</p>
<p>just a word of advice... do NOT use the princeton review for chem.... the actual test was much harder than the practice tests given.</p>
<p>I cannot find the Kaplan World History book for anything!</p>
<p>I got an 800 on my SAT II World History</p>
<p>I used Kaplan's SAT II book along with PR AP World History book, and Barron's AP book. I even used PR SAT II World History book, even though its review is way too short (WWII is covered in 2 pages...) it has a good test.</p>
<p>"How can you use a review book to self learn a subject? Are you serious? Especially World History. I hope you know you are in for quite a ride."</p>
<p>What do u suggest? What topics are covered in World History</p>
<p>I have taken the course and cannot imagine self-studying it. Sorry to come off so crazy, some people (on here...) do self-study subjects but AP World is a 2 year, intense course in my school. What topics? From the hunters and gatherers period to present - everything. All this Asia stuff and how everything is connected. If you are confident, then I guess go for it.</p>
<p>I (quasi) self studied World out of Kaplan, after taking an AP euro course in 10th grade and a regular world history course in 9th grade, which didnt cover most of the stuff. I got a 720. </p>
<p>Kaplan's practice tests absolutely suck.</p>
<p>Kaplan's is ok, but I have heard that Barron's is much better.</p>
<p>For chem, I used PR and Barrons together. I found that the lab questions in Barrons were ridiculous, and PR's were a lot better.</p>
<p>I was going to do World History through self study, but now i'm all freaked out. I took AP US and AP European, this summer I'm doing a course in East Asian.... is that enough?</p>
