<p>Okay, I'd like to take the SAT IIs and prep for them thoroughly. However, there are tons of brands out there and I've heard several things about them.</p>
<p>I'm planning on taking five or six SAT IIs: World History, Math IIC, Biology E, French without Listening, Literature and maybe U.S. History.</p>
<p>Perhaps I'll just give what I know/heard about these brands and humbly ask for suggestions. </p>
<p>Barron's: A friend said that they are most difficult and that you should probably add fifty points to your practice test scores if you'd like to paint a realistic picture of what you're likely to get. Barron's is supposed to be for those who don't mind throwing themselves into test prep and devouring the book. </p>
<p>Kaplan: One person told me that Kaplan doesn't give you all of their tips and tricks because they want you to enroll in their classroom courses. I've also heard that it is really great if you want some shortcuts or need last minute test prep.</p>
<p>Princeton Review: It's said that this is the easiest and most readable of the top three brands.</p>
<p>So, any help? Tips? Hints? Suggestions? </p>
<p>Thanks,
Charlotte</p>
