SAT Questions

Well, I’m going to be taking the SAT Subject Tests for Math Level 2 and Physics and I would like to know which prep book (for both subjects) out of these three is the best: Kaplan, Princeton Review and Barron’s. Can you please give me your opinions on each company’s prep book for each individual subject and/or your experiences using them?

Thanks!

After finding out how Holy Cross doesn’t require any standardized tests, I am ecstatic, especially the fact that it doesn’t put me at a disadvantage.

My SAT scores are as follows:
SAT Reasoning Test
1250/1920

SAT IIs:
Chemistry: 720
US History: 750
Math Level 1: 700
Math Level 2: 580, 620, 670

ACT: 30

I took the SAT once without preparation to see if it’s the test for me. Apparently, by my scores, it is not, therefore I opted for the ACT, which is a decent score. However, I’m really persistent on showing Holy Cross my SAT II scores. But I would have to send the SAT scores all at once, meaning they see my crappy reasoning test. So then I would have to submit my decent ACT score.

All in all, would this hurt me? I feel these standardized tests do not put me in a good light, because my school load and corresponding grades are much more impressive, considering how I always took honors and AP courses, giving me a 96.5 weighted GPA and a 94.2 GPA.

On a side note, should I give only 1 great teacher recommendation, or add another one? One social studies teacher I’ve known for 4 years and had in freshman year and now for AP Euro, wrote me a phenomenal letter. I feel it is sufficient. However, I also have another teacher in mind that I had for 2 years in a row for Honors Chemistry and then for AP Chemistry in my sophomore and junior year. Although I wasn’t the best student in the class, I actively participated, went to extra helps all the time, the teacher loves me, and he pushed me to my limits.
Here’s the thing, I can’t send individual SAT scores. It’s the whole thing, with the good and bad.

Also, I thought that the colleges will disregard the lower scores of my Math Level 2, because I have improved it over time.
I CAN’T SEND MY SAT II SCORES BY THEMSELVES!
The deadline for the interview was December 31st for an on campus one, and December 1st for an off campus alumni one. I didn’t do either….

Am I hurt by that and the fact that I didn’t visit? The interview is highly recommended, but I blew my chances apparently.

However, Holy Cross is sort of my within reach school, not necessarily a safety, but not a total reach.

I’m going to take these tests in January: Math Level 2, Biology, and Chemistry or US History.
Which test relatively has a more lenient curve: chemistry or US history?

I recently got back the scores for my first SAT:
Reading: 770
Writing: 680
Math: 560
I’m happy with all except math, which isn’t really good enough for the schools I’m considering. I’m not a bad math student (straight A’s), but English is more my strength and the hard math problems on the test were a little overwhelming, especially due to the time constraints. I took about 10 practice tests from Princeton Review and College Board and I had an SAT tutor as well, which was helpful. Besides those things, what else should I do to raise my math score? 100 points would be ideal, but I don’t know if that’s realistic before the next SAT. Also, I don’t want to jeopardize my reading and writing scores by taking the general again unless I have to because I don’t want them to be any lower. Would a higher score on an SAT II math level test suffice, or do I need to retake the reasoning test?

I will be taking Math Level 2 (I didn’t even take level 1!), Literature, and Biology E/M. Any type of help is much appreciated.

I am looking for a brand that will be the most helpful in preparing for the SAT subject tests. I am taking the Math Level II, Literature, and Chemistry test. There are so many different book and brands, I don’t know which one will be the most useful. From experience, do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks to all that answer

next year, i’m planning to take ap calculus ab, ap language and comp, ap biology, and ap us history. what would be the best ap prep books for these subjects? im also planning on taking SAT subject tests for math level 2, us history, and biology. what would be the best books for these subject tests or can i use my ap prep books for them?

High there – I asked a question about SAT subject tests yesterday.

I have decided that I am going to take the SAT Subject Test for math level 2. I would like to know if anyone could recommend a text with which they have had success for preparing for this test. I have a Princeton Review book for Math Level 1 and 2, but I was thinking of something specifically geared for Level 2 that I could do to become more comfortable with those problems.

Thanks!
What about Kaplan or a company like that??

Hi. Does anyone know any websites that have free preparation for the sat II Math Level 1? I’d like to print out the practice questions as well as answers. Also, is there any way I could get the past sat II math level 1 tests for free?
