SAT II prep!

<p>Hey, I'm taking the french, lit and math level 2 SATII next saturday and i desperately need suggestions about where i should study from. I've got the collegeboard prep book, but it somehow doesn't seem enough. please tell me how you guys prepared. thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Math II isnt preparable. It depends on how much you know. I used Barrons French..too tough. I would suggest Kaplan. Anyway isnt it a waste to buy 3 books for just 5 days?</p>

<p>I didn't study for lit because it is basically reading comprehension. But maybe you should brush up on your vocab.</p>

<p>yeah, actually you're right IHS, it is a waste buying 3 books for 5 days.
naj, do you mean vocab for the lit or the french?</p>

<p>I would disagree with IHS on Math being unstudyable. I took a practice test two nights before the test and found that I was deficient in trig. So I brushed up on trig rules. I would suggest that you also take a practice test to see what you need to study.</p>

<p>Are you taking French with Listening? That was incredibly hard for me - but maybe you have more years & experience in French than me. For the Math SAT II, use sparknotes. It's free and just as good - at least for me.</p>

<p>no, its without listening, thank goodness...
thanx for all the suggestions...</p>

<p>There isn't much you can do to prep for lit, but you might want to review basic rhetorical and poetic terms to sweep some easy questions (you probably won't find anything more intense than "blank verse" or "metonymy").</p>

<p>thanx phoenixy, do u maybe know a site where i could review those? sparknotes maybe?</p>

<p>Sparknotes probably has something, Cliff's notes has this:</p>

<p>Which is at about the right level.</p>

<p>The best long-term prep for lit, by the way, is to read a lot, especially pre-1900 stuff. You should at least be able to read a short poem by Shakespeare or Donne and be able to understand its literal meaning and identify some of the poetic devices that are being used.</p>
