<p>Hi</p>
<p>I tried searching for SAT2 Chinese preparation books but couldn't find </p>
<p>anything other than the blue book. </p>
<p>Do any of you have suggestions? </p>
<p>I am not a native speaker and I really really need a lot of practice in listening.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>

<p>same thing, slightly different price. The username of the seller on amazon is College Board…but it wasn’t published by the collegeboard.</p>
<p>tell me how it is, if u get it</p>
<p>yeah i’m indian and i took it last year.. 690 -> 10th percentile which is epic fail…</p>
<p>so basically, i need to retake it this year and I’ve been trying to find books but it’s soo hard to..</p>
<p>the reading/grammar is hella easy but the listening is hard if you are non-native</p>
<p>i’m just using podcasts from itunes and RosettaStone..</p>
<p>jeez. such a harsh curve? ouch</p>
<p>^ No, just a ton of native speakers take it and get 800’s. </p>
<p>Swoop, don’t feel bad. You actually did really well.</p>
<p>lol true. i will probably be one of them</p>
<p>THanks for your replies</p>
<p>I just ordered the book. </p>
<p>//swoop whats Rosetta?
//briguy do you recommend any studying methods? sorry for the late reply</p>
<p>Rosetta Stone is program to study languages: [Learn</a> Chinese with Rosetta Stone](<a href=“http://www.rosettastone.com/personal/languages/chinese-mandarin]Learn”>http://www.rosettastone.com/personal/languages/chinese-mandarin)</p>
<p>go to itunes and look for chinese podcasts.. they are introductory but they help your listening since the SAT has really basic, but fast, conversations</p>
