RUSH should be pretty good, actually. Both Barron’s and Rush will overprepare you, but the difference is that Rush actually preps you for the hardest questions on the exam, while Barron’s just throws a bunch of **** at you and wastes your time.

I looked back at one of the earlier threads on math 2. The genereral consensus of the thread was something like this: **** BARRON’S! I’M USING PR NOW!" Basically, a lot of people used Barron’s to prep for one of the Math exams, and they ended up doing poorly because the book had material which was too advanced for the test.

So, I think that Rush is good for overprepping in a PRODUCTIVE way, in that it prepares you for the hardest questions on the exam (instead of asking you a bunch of questions you may not even see). It’s just a bunch of practice tests, and it is awesome practice. Practice is key for Math 2.

It seems like it’s a good idea to supplement this with Princeton Review, though, just to make sure that you don’t forget how to do the easy questions. Sparknotes tests are also known to be somewhat realistic.
