@athenanv13 I got the Barron’s book (cause I’m not taking the SAT, ACT ftw) and I’m gonna use Khan Academy
I’m just using Khan Academy.
yeah. khan academy
Is Khan Academy prep good? And has anyone ever used the SAT Black Book to study for the current SAT?
Khan Academy is free and the College Board basically created it. I think it’s good, at least worth the time. I have yet to use it though.
Hey, did anyone take the sat ii for biology or world history? What did you use to study? (Also since tomorrow is prime day, do you think I should get barron’s or are there better prep books?)
@athenanv13 I took world history, but I didn’t end up doing to well on it (I got a 670). Definitely get the official college board book for the world history subject test, it has two subject tests in it. These two were very accurate in predicting my score. I got a 680 on one, and a 670 on the other.
I tend to drift towards Barrons for everything because it’s harder. I’d rather over prep 
Barron’s is love, Barron’s is life.
I used Barron’s for SAT Bio and got 800. It’s slightly more difficult
@athenanv13 Kaplan is also a good prep book. My aphg barrons was good but when i bought a prep book for apwh and apstats (Barron’s), I did not like it that much and switched to Kaplan
Does anyone else struggle with SAT Math? I cant seem to get above a 700 consistently.
I always seem to get “trolled” and get a 790 or something even though I’m taking multivariable calc. Conspiracy. Illuminati.
@Frigidcold I just finished AB which was way easier than this prep tbh
@loquatical I do! SAT math is awful for me, there are way too many trick questions. I like ACT math better.
@loquatical YES. I took regular pre-calculus last year, and it seems that everything I’m getting wrong is taught in honors pre-calculus. 
I do pretty well on SAT math, but I need to make sure I don’t make any silly mistakes. They’re what drag my score down. Same with CR, really–I miss something in the questions or the passage and end up getting the question wrong. The section that really brings my score down (somewhat ironically, really) is Writing. There are way too many ambiguous questions (especially the ones that involve flow or purpose, since those can be subjective at times). I’ve been using the Barron’s SAT Writing Workbook, though, so hopefully my score will go up.
For those prepping for the PSAT via Khan Academy: are you guys using the SAT prep? I can’t seem to find a PSAT -specific page.
Also, what study book do you recommend using for SAT II World History? I used my AP WH book from Barrons, and got a 760. I’m thinking that I would like to retake it, because I want history as my strong suit.
Barron’s SAT books are the best, in my opinion, when compared against Kaplan and Peterson’s and CliffsNotes books. Especially when the collegeboard book is finished.
Barron’s is very realistic to the actual SAT
I really like Barron’s and I plan on using its books for most of my exams, except for AP Chemistry where I am using Princeton Review.
Also, this is going to sound a bit random, but how do you guys cope with stress and fear of failure? Recently I’ve been worrying about my junior year and I’ve been scared because I feel like I’m not doing good enough, since I lack leadership roles because I’m an introvert and my schedule isn’t as good as other students at my school. I’ve been worrying about school a lot lately and I’m afraid I won’t be successful in life. How are you guys able to cope with stress and worry? Thanks for your help.
