Books for SAT Level 2 MAth

Hey, I know there are probably some threads about this, but Im a little confused as to the best book I can get for SAT math level two prep. I have the official collegboard one with the real tests, but I was still wondering if there were any review books with a brief review of the material. I heard Barrons is hard, but I wanted to know your opinons on the best book.


Thanks!

Barrons is crazy hard. Do not use it unless you've mastered all the other prep books and need extra practice for an 800.

I used the Barron's book and got a 780, but I absolutely HATED Barron's (for Math, anyways). I would recommend doing practice problems from your textbook - a number of my friends did this and got 800s. I should've followed them.

If you want to be really confident get barrons, however generally if you study the PR study guide hard, you can do well.

I used Kaplan and found it really well organized. I got an 800 on Math 2.
