<p>Math IIC:</p>

<p>Kaplan
Barron</p>

<p>WOrld History:</p>

<p>Kaplan

Barron</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>bump........................ anyone?</p>

3

<p>For math iic use barron's.</p>

4

<p>I used Sparknotes for Physics and got an 800, but that's just me.</p>

5

<p>kaplan overdoes history imo. choose something else.</p>

6

<p>I wouldn't use Kaplan for IIC, it was terrible.</p>

7

<p>i reccomend REA for all history</p>

8

<p>I used kaplan and sparknotes for IIC and got an 800.
REA for history.
Kaplan and PR for physics.</p>

9

<p>whats REA?</p>

<p>Isnt barron good for physics?</p>

10

<p>Meylani for IIC, best prep over there</p>

11

<p>PR for physics</p>

12

<p>no kaplan
no rea for math!
meylani's flaky
barron's yes
spark notes if need average practice</p>

13

<p>so in your opinion, only barrons and sparknotes are worth studying from?</p>

14

<p>"real sat ii: subject tests" a must.
If you have time, aim for 700+ and got a very proficient helper or very strong self, dig for pearls in meylani.
Time left? Select only the hard ones from Kaplan and PR, but don't look at their solutions! Turns you into a frog.
As far as theory, frankly there is no single good book. Spark notes shallow, barron's murky. ;(</p>

15

<p>the book REAL SATII: Subject tests is really big and consists of tests on various subjects but has only 1 or 2 for the math test... Seems like waste spending on the whole book when i'll be using only part of it... Is there a REAL SATII:SUBJECT TEST book for each individual subject?</p>

16

<p>only new bilogy and history are promised to be out in late September, but nobody seems to know whether they will be really new.
REAL SATIs are the only TRUELY REAL SATs! Buy used cheap online or check out from a library and copy for $.02/page in some pharmacy.</p>

17

<p>don't forget the too many errors in barron's</p>

18

<p>Barron's is a very good book for the 2C test.</p>

<p>Rusen Meylani.</p>

19

<p>Barron's is terrible for physics.</p>

<p>Use Sparknotes and Princeton Review. I did this and got an 800.</p>

20

<p>Wow, at least meylani can admit that barron's is good and not even premote his book. For math 2c buy meylani's book and barron's book and get online and do sparknotes. It worked for me.</p>
