Can anyone recommend books for theses subjects? I have never taken subject tests and haven't prepared for them. Im taking AP Calc and AP Physics, so I should be familair with the stuff, but I need serious studying. Websites/books? ARe there official Collegeboard Blue Book tests for Subject Tests?

I'm taking Math II and Physics in 5 days, and I've been using Princeton Reviews stuff...their Math book covers both the Math IC and Math IIC, and the Physics books seems pretty comprehensive. I'm about 165 pages into it (need to get through 260).

I know most people use Barron's for MIIC, but I've heard Barron's is not very good for Physics.

Problems, problems, and more more more more problems.

I took practice SAT IIs in bio and math IIc 3 weeks before the real test, and got 600 and 700, respectively.

I did a total of 3 practice tests of each, and I pulled an 800 on Math IIc, and a 740 on Biology

For Math IIC I recommend Barron's. Just curious, why are you taking both Math IC and IIC?

Is sparknotes good for IIC? I was thinking of using sparknotes for the basics, than switch to barrons to test my skill.
