<p>okay, about 2 months before I bought this book for Math IIC subject test.</p>

<p>I did 3 of the practise tests and got 700, 630, 580.</p>

<p>I got 1 A+, 2 As, and 1 A- for Precal/Cal honors class this year and was</p>

<p>quite confident about this test. But after getting those pathetic scores </p>

<p>in practise tests, I was absoultely depressed.</p>

<p>But in the actual test, I skipped 4 qs and got 800</p>

<p>I know Barrons covers unnecessary chapters</p>

<p>and questions, but 580 to 800???</p>

<p>This is explainging that Barrons is covering unrelated 20 questions, apporximately.</p>

<p>I am planning to take SAT II Chem around Nov-Dec depending on my reasoning scores,</p>

<p>but should I start with Barrons? Is it better to start with Kaplan or PR?</p>

<p>thoughts?</p>

<p>Math II
I used it and remember getting the following practice test scores: 710, 720, 740. I got an 800 on the real test.</p>

<p>I really like the Barron’s books because they go into plenty of detail. The AP ones I’ve used have good FRQs too.</p>
