<p>Hi I am an international applicant and I have registered for the two SAT subject tests on 12/7. I currently have the Princeton revision guide and I have ordered the Barrons guide as well. </p>
<p>In terms of resources will this be enough. I believe these two guides are the best due to favourable reviews from other CC members. </p>
<p>But does anyone here use anything different? I am aiming for 800 in both tests and I just want to have all the work/prep for the tests.</p>
<p>I am working through the Princeton guide atm and will go through the Barrons guide when I get it, but can anyone please advise if this is the best course of action and if it will be enough to aim for these scores.</p>
<p>So I have heard that other people use Sparknotes and alternative resources, so what I'm really asking is what resources do you/are you using to study for those tests?</p>
<p>Kind Regards</p>
<p>Nate ><</p>
<p>Taking math 2 this december too =)
I think you should be fine doing everything you mentioned. Remember, quality not quantity =).
Just wondering why are you taking both math 1 and math 2? There’s no value-addedness, you’d be better off taking another subject.</p>
<p>Thankz for your reply, I guess because their similar and I want the achievement I guess. Anyway I registered after hearing people say to only do one, but I will do both anyway.</p>
<p>Yes that is very important and crucial, quantity is irrelevant if you haven’t studided or understood the concepts.</p>
<p>Maybe, I am unfamiliar with the US system.</p>
<p>Just out of interest are you a Junior and have you done the SAT I?</p>
<p>-Nate</p>
<p>Collegeboard has their own book of official Math I and Math II practice subject tests. I think it has two of each and they both have actual, accurate curves. Also, there was a Math II guide written by schoolisfun that you can find on CC.</p>
<p>Oh right thanks, I think it is a bit late to order those tests now - so I will make do with Princeton & Barrons.</p>
<p>Sorry to trouble you, but do you have a link to any online practice papers for the math subject tests.</p>
<p>And I will definitely check that out thanks for your reply.</p>
<p>It does not make sense to take both Math1 and Math2, The will be counted as 1 subject when you need to fulfill the requirement of 2. You can change the subject or even drop the second test even on the day of testing. You should try a few practice tests on both to see why one you may score higher. Math2 is more generous but it requires additional Math skills. Most schools would prefer Math2 over Math1 particularly for Science and Engineering major.</p>
<p>I am aware of that, also are the physics and chemistry subject tests multiple choice or is that only the Math tests. Thanks for your replies but I have registered and studied for those papers so I will set them. Do you have any links to past papers.</p>
<p>Thanks </p>

<p>I took Math Level One this November. I used Barron’s and the practice tests and problems in the book were way harder than on the actual test. I felt I did really good on the test, so Barron’s I will highly recommend.</p>
<p>My S is taking AP Calculus in his Junior year(A/high B grade) currently and planning to take SAT Math Level 2 in Jan 2014. Any recommendation on the preparation and rigor he should focus on? He is taking SAT I on Dec 7 and then planning to get ready for SAT Math-2 subject test. Is this time enough ?
Thanks !</p>
<p>Physics and chem subject tests are 100% multiple choice, I believe. The physics test is very difficult, however.</p>
<p>You can get this book by Collegeboard, and it has a copy of all the subject tests in it you could use. [All</a> Subject Study Guide - Official](<a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>The Official Study Guide for all SAT Subject Tests (TM) Second Edition)</p>
<p>People recommend using the Princeton Review prep book for the physics test, and to avoid Barron’s; Kaplan apparently has good practice tests as well for physics. I don’t know about chem.</p>
<p>If you’re still freaking out about Math I and II, I’d recommend Dr. John Chung’s SAT Math I and SAT Math II books; they are fantastic, even if they are overly challenging and have some content that isn’t needed for the test. I just kept redoing the problems in there until I got 800s on all the practice tests and scored an easy 800 on the real exam.</p>
<p>Thank you, I have the pdf to that and the actual book for the barrons level 2, hopefully it will be of import.</p>
<p>Thank you, extremely helpful advice.</p>
<p>So just to clarify:</p>
<p>Maths - Use Princeton/Barrons/Dr Chungs</p>
<p>Physics - Use Princeton/Kaplan</p>
<p>Chemistry - Same as Physics.</p>
<p>And to get the official SAT book with official tests.</p>
<p>Is this advisable?</p>
<p>And thank you for your help and advice :)</p>
<p>Nate</p>
<p>FnaticMSiNate, I’m also an international and can’t get access to Chungs. Could you PM the link where you got it from? I’m desperate.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@fnaticMSiNate Can you give me the link too pleaseeeee :)</p>
<p>@fnaticMSiNate Can you post the link?</p>
<p>I would also like the link :(</p>
