<p>Okay i'm writing the Math two in 5 days. I've been using the Princeton review book for a while now, and i've been comfortable with it. really comfortable (practice tests between 780-800). but now i took a test from barron's and it struck me as harder,. i managed only a 700.
how does the barron's math 2 book compare to the actual SAT test? some topics in the barron's book aren't even in the princeton book.
can i go by my scores in the princeton book and stay comfy or do i have to slog using the barron's book?
argh.</p>
<p>I suggest that you check the collegeboard website and (my favorite site ever) Wikipedia. They give a good outline of what is tested on the Math II, as well as percentages.</p>
<p>Personally, I’d test with the “harder” book, the Barron’s. That way, you’d be overpreparing which won’t hurt. I know that my Sparknotes book for the Math II turned out to be harder than the real thing.</p>
<p>You will likely score 770+, and probably an 800 on test date. Barrons is known to be much more difficult than the real exam, and scores in the high 600s and low 700s on Barrons test often translate to 770+ and 800 on the actual test. From what I’ve seen, Princeton seems to be pretty accurate, or at least more similar in difficulty to the real exam. </p>
<p>I agree that you should continue testing with the Barrons book, especially if you’ve exhausted the Princeton book’s exams. It doesn’t hurt to overprepare.</p>
