Math II retake

I used Princeton review to prepare for the test and did all the practice tests from princeton and kaplan. Ended up with a bad score. I'm pretty good at maths and generally don't find it difficult. However I found the Oct 09 Math II test to be unexpectedly hard, despite having gotten more than 760 on most of the practice tests. Any suggestions on how to ensure a decent score next time around? Was avoiding barrons a mistake?

i also got a really bad score despite getting 750+ on practice tests from princeton review and mcgraw hill. i am considering asking for them to hand score it but otherwise i am definitely retaking it in december. i'm really confused because i've got 800 on the math section of the SAT reasoning and i've always made top grades in calculus.

I got a horrible score too, despite having gotten 760+ on practice tests, and being usually strong in math.

730 72nd percentile makes it even worse.

I found the test to be challenging, but not to the extent that my score would suggest. i skipped a few, but the rest i was generally sure about. the practice tests really let me down. which books are you guys planning to use this time around?
