Great Review, Great Tests, Great Result!
| Customer Rating: | | I took the SAT II Math IIC twice, once sophomore year and again my junior year. The first time, I used Kaplan only and scored only 640. Since this was an egregious result, I decided to take it again the next year, except with more preparationg and rigorous studying. I bought the Barron's book and took advantage of its 4 tests (hard questions but great practice). The second time, I got a 770, which is considered a TOP score for the SAT II Math IIC. From what I've discerned from all these review books, Kaplan is too easy, Princeton Review is just right but not particularly challenging, and Barron's is much harder. But don't we all want to practice hard questions than easy ones for a test? |
Math Level 2 bible...
| Customer Rating: | If you're planning to major in anything remotely math related, chances are, you have to take the SAT Math Level 2 exam. There are lots of books on the market, but I think Barron's is by and large the best resource to prepare if you're dead set on getting a (near) perfect score. Why?
It covers all the material you'll ever need in excrutiating depth. This may not appeal to everyone, but it's better to have everything there for those who want it, than to skimp on the meat and potatoes required for the 800.
Also, the practice tests are harder than the real thing! This is good! If you can master doing well on the exams provided in here, the real thing should be a piece of cake. It's important to note that having harder questions forces the development of math maturity and reasoning skills, so even if the questions aren't the same, the mental workout you get is more than worth it. (Plus, when you realize the real test is so much eaiser than this, you'll be relieved)
This book isn't for everyone, however. If you're serious about getting an 800, this book is what you need. For those aiming for low-to-mid 700s, I'd reccomend the Princeton Review, as its tests are more representative of the real thing, and the material covered is less in depth, but presented in a "friendly" way.
I reccomend to everyone, though to pair Barron's with the official SAT math practice test book as well to gauge your performance on the real thing. While your scores on Barron's may suck, you'll feel pleasantly surprised when you ace the CB tests! (but save those for the very end)
So, yeah. It's $10, and it'll help you ace the SAT math 2. What more could you want? |
good
| Customer Rating: | | This book is really good for practice, but I don't recommend this book for common student.It is too hard. |
Awesome!
| Customer Rating: | Sticking to this book and taking sample practice tests from Math 1 & 2 by collegeboard are all you should do for math level 2.
To be honest, I were not sure about how useful this book was when I bought it. But guess what, I was so engrossed in it that I forgot to have lunch the day when it was shipped to my house. It is useful for not only my math level 2 test but also for my math team.
Believe me you 're gonna love it! |
Worst Math2 Book on the Market
| Customer Rating: | I am an SAT Math Level 2 tutor, and I have been working with this test for over 10 years. This Barron's book is absolutely the worst Math Level 2 book that I have ever seen. The questions in this book are (a) significantly more difficult than those on the actual exam, and (b) nothing at all like those on the actual exam.
On this test, matrix questions are considered difficult, and uniformly appear at the end of the exam. In the Barron's practice tests, matrix questions appear very early in the test amongst the easy questions. On the real test, polar coordinate questions are pretty straightforward, and yet still considered difficult by the test makers. The Barron's book puts extremely difficult polar coordinate questions very early in the test.
The subjects covered, the difficulty, the sorts of tasks, and the wording are absolutely nothing like the actual test. Did the Barron's author even bother examining the actual test? I think not. While it might be cool to see if you can do the math in this book, it will in no way help you prepare for the test. I highly recommend never even opening this book. |
