SATII MATH STUDY BOOKS: PR>ARCO???

Test Preparation
1

<p>Well, I'm taking the sat II MAth IIC soon, and I am wondering, which book offers the best practice tests??</p>

<p>I went to the book store and bought the latest SAT II PrincetonReview Math book, I read through it, took a few practice tests. I got a 740 and a 800 on the practice tests for Math IIC. Thought nothing much of, I always loved math.</p>

<p>In dire need for some more practice tests, I dropped by the local library for some study books. I found that they had a wealth of study books, ARCO SATII Math books specifically, which had 7 practice tests each (4 IC, 3IIC). I picked up a couple (the 5th edition and the 10th edition from the 1990's), went home, and began the practice tests.
Man, I freaked. The test was so much more difficult than the PR ones. I was getting stumped on the early questions, and often skipping questions to try and keep up with the time limit. I ended up with some horrible scores.</p>

<p>What is up with this?? The two companies make such different tests at such different difficulty levels. </p>

<p>Now I'm worried that I may not be ready for this test. Which test scores should I rely on??</p>

<p>please reply,</p>

<p>I've heard of ARCO...but I think Princeton Review is liked by many students... (my assumption from reading other comments on other thread about SAT II)
Plus many prep books make the questions harder in order to prepare the students = freak them out early so they study so you should be fine</p>
