<p>Math IIC: Get 5 More Practice tests from Sparknotes.</p>
<p>math iic-no book prep just glanced at sample Qs on collegeboard- got 800- i suggest u take it during or near the end of precalc. i took it at the beginning and there were some things i didnt learn but could figure out
math ic-no book prep-750 i suggest during, or near the end of math B.. um whatever they call it when u have a year of trig, alg, and geom
i didnt study at all, math class itself is sufficient if u r normally good at math, but if u r not maybe check out a random review book from library. no need to buy it</p>
<p>and yes i know 750 is smaller than 760 lol but it was 97th percentile.. more according to raw score</p>
<p>AP Psych: Barron's How to
AP French: Barron's How to
AP Bio: Cliff's
AP U.S His: Princeton Review
AP Spanish: Barron's How to</p>
<p>I don't know the exact names of the books so i just put down the companies :\
hope that helps...</p>
<p>Biology AP-- Cliff's
American History AP-- didn't have one; I just read the textbook and did fine</p>
<p>Math IC SAT II-- don't bother studying for it; it's easy. Just don't make any mistakes since if you miss one, you're down to like a 780.
Math IIC SAT II-- if you're in pre-calc or calc, it should be easy. The curve is really nice.</p>
<p>Any other books u used for the SAT I?...or study methods?
I read The Ring of McAllister, which is a book that uses SAT words. Other than that, just relax. I was really nervous the first time I took the SAT, and last time, I knew I had a good score going into it, so I wasn't as tense.</p>
<p>What possible help can you be to pimpa10 by saying you got an 800 and didn't study at all?</p>
<p>What do you guys think that the cut offs are for relatively similar scores. My thoughts:</p>
<p>800
770+
750+
700+</p>

<p>I got a 760 on US History, but there are some good notes on that site. There's a cram packet somehwere in the US History section that's worth your time. For bio, I got a 5 on the AP and the Cliff's Notes was key. Have fun!</p>
<p>-- NL</p>
<p>AP US History: 5
SAT II US History: 800</p>
<p>Only book I used was our text and Sparknotes 5 More Practice Tests. I also had PR and Barron's lying around, although I never got around to using them...</p>
<p>AP US history: 5
Use amsco for apush...it has real AP mc's and free response. </p>
<p>AP Chem: 5
Use Princeton Review for the test and Cliffs for the labs.</p>
<p>Math IIC:700 (retake in Jan next year)
Don't use Kaplan, whatever you do. </p>
<p>SAT take the practice tests in 10 Reals and grammatix.com</p>
<p>math 2c: 800 borrow REAL SAT 22 from the library and take the practice test for math 2c. the prep books are really not that good. barron's is too hard, kaplan is too easy, and PR is very slick. it doesn't explain the process, but instead it says plug it in your calcultor and solve it. but if you need problems to solve use PR. just don't follow what they say
AP USH: i am currently taking the course. use AMSCO, it is really good.</p>
<p>AP Biology: 5 using princeton review</p>
<p>AP US Hist: 5 using the CB released test
SAT II US Hist: 790 (so close...) using the online sparknotes</p>
<p>AP Eng Lang: 5 using some weird yellow book the teacher passed out - the best review is to look at the end of a book called "The Art of the Essay." It has some awesome stuff about diction, syntax, etc.</p>
<p>ap bio- 5 with cliffs
world- 5 with pr and barron's review quizzes</p>
<p>ap bio: 5 - use princeton review
ap us: 5 - use US history: preparing for the ap exam (published by amsco). its obscure, but a wonderful summary book if you don't need to practice multiple choice questions.
ap english: 5 - didn't use a book. just make sure you get enough sleep so that you can focus on the reading passages. =)</p>
<p>for math, make sure you review precalc lots and lots. i was already done with ap calc by the time i took the test, and it was a bad, bad idea...</p>
<p>thanks to everyone for their feeback</p>
<p>what did you guys use for AP gov & politics?
I used 5 steps to a 5 i think...</p>
<p>ap biology- i've noticed most of you guys have been using cliff. at my school, all the juniors (biology is a sophomore year course here) said that cliff totally screwed them over. I used Barron's. I truly thought it was amazing. My school doesn't offer ap biology, only honors. After two weeks of studyign from barrons (basically reading the study guide every free minute i had between classes) i managed a 5. It wasn't an easy task since honors biology doesn't cover much. However, i do feel like i owe a lot to barron's.</p>
<p>sat math iic: i used sparknotes... the practice tests were very similar to the real one that I took. (though it may just have been luck). The book may have even been a little harder. Even though i got a 800, I only got that score once during my practices.</p>
<p>Used REA throughout year and for AP.
Reviewed material for SatII with Princeton Review Cracking the SAT II History because their practice tests were great.</p>
