<p>Hi! I'm going to take the SAT Subject Test for Chemistry and Math Level 2 in October. (maybe Physics..Not sure yet.. Haha)</p>
<p>I would like to know which prep books should I use? I'm planning to pop by the bookstore to get it next week.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>bump for interest…i’m getting my graduating friend’s princeton review for bio, but i need suggestions for Math II and US history</p>
<p>Math II, hands down, use Barron’s! It will overprep you & you will get scared, but the actual thing should be an easy 800</p>
<p>schoolisfun- Thanks for the info! 
What about Physics and Chemistry?</p>
<p>Princeton Review for SAT II Chemistry</p>
<p>Gives you three realistic practice tests that have the exact same material as the real test.
The book covers everything and does not give superfluous information like Barrons does, but goes in depth when needed.</p>
<p>PR and Barrons for Chemistry. Barron’s overprepares you and PR helps you “crack the test” and is overall more reliable.</p>
<p>I received 780 and did the following:
<p>If I had my time over again, I would have done the following:
<p>Math II: Barrons, no close second.</p>
<p>Thanks for making this thread! Anyone have book ideas for bio e and math 1?</p>
<p>Hey, I have the same question as the initial asker here, but for French (reading only) and Literature. </p>
<p>It seems there are very few SAT books on french…what do you guys recommend? I’m thinking of getting some more in-depth books on learning the language over the summer…</p>
<p>For literature, you should definitely go with Barron’s. They have a comprehensive review of all the terms you need, and they make their tests REALLY REALLY hard. They have two diagnostic tests and seven practice ones. If you go through all of them do all the practice you could score a 750+</p>
<p>If you took Chem AP and your teacher was halfway decent you should probably get 750+ w/o studying. If you must study, get Barron’s since the practice tests are generally harder than the actual test.</p>
<p>As for Math II, if you’re in Honors Pre-Calc or beyond you should get a 770+ no sweat. Again, if you must study use Barron’s (similar reasons as for Chem).</p>
<p>For reference, I never too Chem AP and scored an 800. I’m not in Honors Pre-Calc and scored an 800 as well. It can be done!</p>
<p>What about bio e? Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Bio M is supposedly a little easier to get an 800 on and for that Barrons is really good. I’d supposed Barrons would be good for Bio E also if the book (includes BIO E/M) is good for M.</p>
<p>seems like barrons is a popular choice for subject tests :)</p>
<p>^only for Math. For Chemistry, D2 used PR because Barrons was overkilled.</p>
<p>I used barrons for bio m this past month. Still waiting for results, but I’m pretty optimistic.</p>
<p>Their math II is great, for the tests at least.
The problem with math II is questions 40-50 ish those are the ones that trip people up, not the first 40. In Barrons most of their questions are like 30-50 level so it helps a lot for someone who is looking for that perfect score, so I recommend Barrons math II to anyone who is serious about a 750+.</p>
<p>My post from the last thread asking a similar question. Barrons and math II go well together. Chemistry I didn’t really study for because I had a great teacher and she gave us past tests which was really useful.
If you take US history, sparknotes tests are by far the best, and if you need to review, pton review and amsco are great.</p>
<p>For USH, I used my AP prep book. I feel that many people who got 800’s took the AP classes.</p>
