SAT Math II , chem and physics

<p>kindly suggest the best books for SAT II math IIc, chem and physics .</p>

<p>Just my opinion : school knowledge should suffice. To get 800 you can have ~10+ wrong for chemistry, ~10 for phyics, and 3 for math (I got this from the Official Collegeboard SAT Subject Tests Guide - dark blue book). So you don't really have to study very hard..</p>

<p>For chem, I used Kaplan because I didn't take senior year chem. It got me 770.</p>

<p>No studying on the other two, 800..</p>

<p>i used many books. barrons for phy and math, mc graw hill for math2 and chen, kaplan for phy. finished all those in <3weeks. got full marks for all.</p>

<p>You can usually have about 8 wrong on Math II and still get an 800, actually. Sometimes more. </p>

<p>Anyway, I used Princeton Review for both Physics and Math II and got 800s.</p>

<p>for math, i'm a little confused about the points you need for an 800. </p>

<p>some ppl tell me that you can SKIP 8 questions and still get a perfect, but that's not the same as missing them is it? cuz i heard that if you miss a question, then you get an extra 1/4 point taken off. </p>

<p>so is it that you can miss 8 or skip 8 to get a perfect score?</p>

<p>You can typically miss around 8 points. Since you get a fourth of a point deducted for each wrong answer, missing six questions would cause you to lose 8 points. Or you could leave 8 questions blank and get the remaining 42 all correct--that would have exactly the same effect. Basically, there are lots of different combinations you can do, but as long as the total number of points deducted from your raw score is around 8 (or less than 8 of course), you'll probably get an 800.</p>

<p>BTW, I'm basing the number 8 off Princeton Review's book.</p>

<p>Barron's for chemistry!!! You can't go wrong!</p>

<p>second to sk12</p>

<p>for math, I believe a raw score of 44 is needed to get perfect</p>

<p>any for chem, you can only skip 4 or only get 3 wrong to get 800</p>

<p>for physics, the curve is just so generous, as long as you don't get TOOOO MUCH wrong, you will be fine.</p>

<p>I third sk12. barrons for chemistry is awesome, but start ahead of time because it takes a while to get through all the material... </p>

<p>barrons for math IIC is a strange one. it overprepares you very hard questions (making you a better test taker) but it has topics that would never be covered (which is kinda annoying). sparknotes is another option if you don't believe in overpreparation. the difficulty is very similar to the actual test, and it the material is "everything you need, nothing you don't." i used a combination of the two (barrons for tests and sparknotes for material) and the real test was a breeze</p>

<p>I used Kaplan for Math and Physics. I seem to be the only one. I think Kaplan is better than Barrons for MathII, but that's all the comparisons I've seen.</p>

<p>Barrons for chem is unnecessary.</p>

<p>The best for chem is generally agreed upon to be PR.</p>

<p>physics--sparknotes</p>

<p>i bought barron's for physics. I also took 1 practice test each out of barron's for chem and math II at my local barnes and nobles just for feels. that was last june lolz</p>
