<p>hey aussie techie! thank you so much for the comprehensive review. I don’t know for anyone but i find that noble. 
</p>
<p>May i ask if you have heard anything about the dr chung sat math 2? how effective is it?</p>
<p>If I’m good at math, it shouldn’t be a problem if I only leave 2 weeks to prep right?
And if I have a TI N-Spire, but not a CAS, which book should I get to learn all of the tricks in it? b/c I’m not buying a CAS if I already have a NSpire lol</p>
<p>and thanks so much, you were really informative!</p>
<p>So far I’ve gotten 650, 620, 640, and 680 on barron’s sat math level 2…is a 750+ possible for me on the real one? :>/</p>
<p>All along I had thought that TI N-Spires counted as being an illegal calculator, but JUST realized that they don’t have a QWERTY keyboard and therefore can be used on the SAT IIs. Good to know, THANK YOU! I’m going to buy one before next school year (if I can get a job to pay for it).</p>
<p>I’d still have to keep that TI-84 though for JETS Competitions. :/</p>
<p>Thanks for the summary. IT was really, really helpful!!</p>
<p>does that mean i shouldn’t use the barrons physics book if i already have it? i dont wanna spend the money on another prep book what should i do in your opinion?</p>
<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I’m a freshman intl student and i want to prepare SAT/SAT II now, which do you advise me please?</p>
<p>Taberwable: sorry, haven’t heard about htat one!</p>
<p>james: nope, no issue there. Hmm tbh I would just look through the menus on the calculator, there aren’t too many things you will want to do. or use google (eg differentiation on ti-nspire)</p>
<p>Stonesn: yes, provided you do well on the day you can definitely expect a 750+</p>
<p>liveforscience: Yeh, the fact that you can use them is awesome!</p>
<p>girl: no problem!</p>
<p>CollegeBound: after another look, I would say go ahead and use it, but I would suggest getting the PR one as well. the PR is definitely the best, but barrons is still decent, though it does cover some unneeded stuff and is maybe not thorough enough on a few other areas</p>
<p>i didn’t know you could use a ti nspire on the sat IIs?</p>
<p>umm…what is PR?</p>
<p>princeton review</p>
<p>I need good calculator for SAT Physics and Maths level 2. I will also use it during my education in college on tests etc. What should I get? I consider:</p>
<p>TI Nspire CX (there is a problem with this one because I can’t find a shop which ships to Europe (Poland) and from ebay.com it will cost me about 200$)</p>
<p>TI Nspire (I can purchase easily from amazon.com for about 160$)</p>
<p>TI 89 Titanum (I’m afraid that it’s too old calculator but has great opinions).</p>
<p>What would you recommend me considering prices I’ve written? Would I lose much if I take Nspire rather than Nspire CX?</p>
<p>And should I take CAS version? Is it allowed during college and on exams?</p>
<p>great thread</p>
<p>Barrons 760-780
Real thing: 780, 800 (took it twice)</p>
<p>@ Makaveli94 , can’t use a calculator in SAT Physics, seems like you were planning to use one.</p>
<p>Damn these calculators are expensive!</p>
<p>is a ti-84 good enough for the test? or will i be at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>You will not be at a disadvantage using the ti-84, ti-83, or similar graphing calculators. You will probably be at a disadvantage, however, if you attempt to quickly learn a new calculator (such as the ti-89) simply for the sake of the test, or don’t use a graphing calculator at all.</p>
<p>Should I just chug my Barron’s Physics for a PR, or study it within the next month?</p>
<p>Someone needs to sticky this.</p>
<p>why does that calculator save time? just wondering, and assuming it is allowed on that test…</p>
