<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers for any of the following SAT IIs that I will be taking on December the 4th:</p>
<p>Math IIc (I have the Barron's book to study from-it's mainly the spanish and writing I need the pointers on-thanks)
Spanish
Writing</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Practice, practice practice.</p>
<p>Get the book "10 Real SAT IIs"</p>
<p>For Writing, use Sparknotes.</p>
<p>For Spanish, use a good Spanish textbook and go online and do some reading and look up words you don't know (probably the best advice)</p>
<p>If your naturally good at english, you should have no trouble with writing. I suggest reading some novels just to get in the flow of recognizing correct grammar. If you really want a prep book, I say go for Kaplan. I bought it and did an exam and I got 660 before the test. I didn't really prep for it and still recieved a 730. For the essay, I suggest that you have a couple of examples to use for test day. Good Luck!</p>
<p>the barrons writing book is EXCELLENT. I used it for about one month and pulled a 720. I should have gotten higher, though.</p>
<p>I actuall read this one of the Barrons books and never gave it much thought until I got back scores for my writing test in november. You're first hunch is probably the right one; don't overthink. For me, writing wasn't my best subject. I wrote a very good essay in about 25 minutes but the multiple choice ones were killer. I couldn't just read it once and think like the math and physics ones, I would have to reread it and reread it again, taking up prescious time. I got about two-thirds of the way through the multiple choice and realized that I had ten minutes to go and went nuts. I had to fly through questions I felt I should have spent three times as long on and just choose the best answer that came to mind and move on. I barely finished before the proctor collected the tests and I was preparing for a 500. I guess that rule about first impressions was right because I didn't omit a thing and got a 790.</p>
