Sparknotes or Barrons for SAT II Math II

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>^Pretty Much!!!!</p>

2

<p>barron's all the way</p>

3

<p>Definitely barron's.</p>

4

<p>Sparknotes to guarantee 750+.
Barron's to polish it up.</p>

5

<p>^can you define what you mean by "polish it up?" </p>

<p>I know that Barrons covers a ton of stuff that isn't even on the subject test. So are you saying study off of Sparknotes, then read barrons to clear up anything I don't understand after using Sparknotes?</p>

6

<p>Barrons.
Covers some weird stuff that won't show up but it's always better to be over prepared than under prepared.
I thought I would just review some stuff and barely looked at Barrons..and I really regret that. It has a great review section.</p>

7

<p>Barron does have a lot of things that the Math II doesn't cover. My SAT II, the Math had no conic problems and Barron's has a chapter devoted to it.</p>

8

<p>dont use barron lol....it just freaks u out entirely. Its better if u go over sample tests of the CB, the Ptests in PR and have a ready set of formulas in ur head.</p>

9

<p>The CB tests are deceptively easy. The test's changed from what's in those books -- it's much harder.</p>

10

<p>Yeah, I recommend Barron's and maybe sparknotes. Sparknotes provides a pretty good representation of the easy problems of the actual math 2 test.</p>

11

<p>Actually, there are only 2 CB tests so I would recommend using them a week before the test.</p>

12

<p>Barrons, definitely.</p>

<p>I took the SATII Math IIC in June of this year cold, and I got a 730. I knew it wouldn't be acceptable to the schools I wanted to apply to two years from know, so I did five Barron's tests and analyzed the questions I got wrong. I got the Nov scores today and I got 800.</p>

13

<p>^ Grats! It's nice to hear success stories like yours! (: How long did it take you to study?</p>

14

<p>Love Barron's. Personally, I used both, and since one was much harder than the other, the two of them together prepared me for problems of all difficulties.</p>

15

<p>

Barron's is an overkill, but if you digest it, it will make the real test feel like a breeze.
You can hit 800 mark without going to that extreme too.</p>
