<p>How thoughtful. I'm adding dashes after each test name just because I don't trust people who use colons. And I doubt anyone would be willing to waste as much time changing all of them to colons.</p>

<p>Oh, and I don't think this is going to work well, since most people disagree on many books.</p>

<p>I second Kaplan for Biology and Barron's for Math IIC.</p>

<p>I found it very hard to prepare for a Language test by just using books. It's more of a classroom thing... for me at least.</p>
