SAT IIC

This book makes the SAT II Math IIC an EASY 800...I answered every question and finished with 20 minutes left (a 60 minute test). Needless to say, I got an 800. The real test is much easier than all in this book, and there is a lot that you do not have to learn in this book. Ask your teacher which sections you don't need to study, so that you don't waste your time. My scores on these practice tests ranged from 680 to 740.

I got 800 thanks to this!

I admit that it's harder then the real one, BUT if you really want a good score, definitly study from this! Do all the study by sections and understand the practice problems. By doing all 9 practice tests you will not only increase your speed, but also accuracy. If you can get around 680 and above in this book, you'll probably get a 800 on the real one. After doing this bookm the real one was piece of cake, and i was able to finish it 15 minute ahead of time, and i got time to check my answers too! By doing thing book, my grades in my math class also got a lot better from all the practice, i no longer make stupid mistakes in my tests!! Note to all test takers :THE test is soo much easier if you have a graphing calculator and knows not to use it for graphs and the solve functions in it. like if the problem wants you to get the vertex of a parabola, you can either graph it on the calculator, or memorize the formulas or use calculus. So definitely be familiar with your calculator

800 guaranteed

There were about 5-10 questions in this book that,if not eactly the same, were similar to thos on the level 2 test. It paces you so that on test day you will be done with 20 minutes to spare I dont recommend the 15 realistic tests...although some have been saying it over-prepares you(which may be good), this book does that but in the context of the math level 2 test. Use it

Great Book

I was looking for a review book that would be harder than the real SAT II's and I found the perfect book. This book provides so many hard questions that it forces you to be able to think on your feet. It keeps you from making stupid mistakes or stalling, forcing you to answer every easy question correctly. I would recommend this book to anyone, who isn't afraid to be a little disappointed in order to work harder and do better on the actual test.

800!

The moment I finished the test, I knew I had 800. After having done Barron's (I studied most of the lessons although I already knew them,and I took only 4 practice tests), I was able to solve every single problem there was on satII math IIc on june. Before studying with Barron's I tried princeton review's, but princeton review's was not helping me at all. The two problems I had in the beginning was that I was making too many mistakes and I couldn't solve one or two really hard ones at the end. I learned how to not make mistakes by taking those practice tests. I have to admit Barron's practice tests are way harder than College Board's. I was able to solve only 43 problems(average) on each of those four practice tests. I did not know I was making progress when I was studying the book but the day before the real test, I took out the real satII subject tests written by College Board and got 800. (Real SAT subject tests has only one IIc test but it's worth buying because it has all the other subject tests as well) People say Barron's is harder than the real test, not realistic, and has typoes. I totally agree. However, studying with Barron's will get you thinking which means that you will be able to handle different kinds of problems, not just the ones you studied. (This is why Barron's works) I think the reason why I was able to solve every single problem on the real test on June 4th was because I had done Barron's much harder problems. The real test couldn't have been harder than Barron's. On June 4th, I could tell which ones were tricky problems easily. They just couldn't trick me. And about the typos, it didn't bother me at all, as long as you have some mathematical background, it seriously doesn't matter. I suggest you go over the lessons in this book whether you already know them or not.(At least that's how I got my result) I made my own plan and covered 2~3 lessons a day, but sometimes, few lessons on chapter 3 and chapters at the end are abstruse and unnecessarily in depth so you might need to skip couple of them. You should still try to cover most of them because they will get you think. And DO NOT GET FRUSTRATED after taking the diagnostic test. I was so frustrated after getting 670 or something on it and I put the book away for two weeks. Make sure you study the ones you missed. If you don't finish one practice test in one hour, finish it with some extra time without time limit. Those are the ones that will get you think. I doubt how many people will finish the entire book after reading this because you will get frustrated no matter what. I'm now studying for new sat and I missed only one on the Official SAT study guide by College Board. I believe Barron's has helped me do this.
