What materials for the Math 2 test?

<p>I'm not the best math student, but I'm willing to put the time and effort into learning the material for the test. Which books should I use to review though? I hear Barron's is good, but is exceedingly hard, even if it does prepare you well. That's pretty much it for the books though, I've heard negative reviews of a lot of other books out there.</p>

<p>I'm not adamant on getting an 800, at least a 750 would suffice for me.</p>

<p>What books are recommended that teach the material well and have tests that are a fair representation of the actual test? If there isn't anything, I'll settle with Barron's.</p>

<p>In my opinion, the Princeton Review tests are similar. There are a lot of practice drills in the review section as well, so that might be worth looking into. I would recommend trying to fight your way through the Barrons book, it is helpful to practice with difficult questions.</p>

<p>Alright, thank you for the suggestions! </p>

<p>I’m not sure if I’d go with PR, since my friends who have used it don’t really like it. </p>

<p>I guess I’ll settle with Barron’s even if it is harder anyway.</p>

<p>I learned: McG H, PR, Barron’s.
But I can’t tell to what extent these books can help you because math curriculum in my country is hard and demanding.</p>

<p>I actually did all 9 of the McGraw-Hill tests… they’re definitely closer to difficult to the real exam than Barrons, but they’re probably a tad easier, which is why I might advise against them unless you’re supplementing with other, harder tests. I felt Princeton was the most accurate (I just borrowed the PR book from the school library and used their tests) </p>

<p>Be sure you take the tests from the SAT Subject Test Guide in Math book ([Amazon.com:</a> The Official SAT Subject Tests in Mathematics Levels 1 & 2 Study Guide (9780874477726): The College Board: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Official-Subject-Tests-Mathematics-Levels/dp/0874477727]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Official-Subject-Tests-Mathematics-Levels/dp/0874477727))
Those will give you the most accurate score; so I would maybe take one right now and then take one again when it is closer to the exam date. I got a 730 on this test and then a 740 on the real thing. (I also got a 630 on both this practice test and the real thing when I took them in May) </p>

<p>Lengthy post; but good luck studying! Start ASAP!</p>
