Studying for SAT II Subject Tests

What are the best ways to study for these tests? I'm taking the Math 2, Chemistry, and US History in May. Also, would just studying for the AP equivalents of Chemistry and US History (I'm currently in those two classes) help me get a good score?

Wow i just found review guides for these tests on Sparknotes. Are these good study tools and are they reliable?

I'm taking the bio in June but I found that the SparkNotes one was very lacking even in terms of its own practice tests. You're better off buying some prep books (pick the best one for YOU) and studying from those. They usually have a lot of superfluous material but you will end up getting a very good score if you read it through once or twice, and review areas as necessary.

SparkNotes has some tests, like I've mentioned. The curve is very harsh since many of the questions are pretty simple. I got a 700 on the practice, but if that were the SAT, I could expect a 740.

Well I took the satII in May, and I think I did pretty good. Chemistry and US History seemed alot easier than the sparknotes tests, and Math II was alright, but not too bad
