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!

I will be taking both the SAT and the SAT Subject Tests in Maths, Chem, and Biology this year. I want to do really well in them. However, I’ve heard that some books are really bad for SAT Prep and that the actual exam is harder. How can I still do well if this is the case? Additionally, could you recommend any good resources (books and websites) for doing well in all of these tests?

I’m planning to take these two subject tests so I need good prep books for these two subjects.

I’ve taken 3 subject tests, but I’m planning on taking them one more time on October 10. I’m now a senior, so it’s my last chance. These were my scores the last time:
Spanish 770
US History 690
Literature 420

I’ve been studying a lot for the SAT II Literature by using the Kaplan prep book. Also, I’m enrolled for AP English Literature so most of the stuff is sinking in b/c I have to study lots of literary devices (allusion, syntax, paradox, ode, etc.)

So do you think I’m studying effectively or what else can I do to study before October 10, 2009???

I’m trying to decide when to take the SAT I and SAT II (subject tests) but I really need a good book to study from.

Can someone explain the answers to 104, 12, 13 on the Chemistry Section of the PDF file
pages 29-32

Why isn’t #12 D, and why isn’t #13 C

Thanks

Also, what are the scores that top colleges require? Do I have to take more than 2 subject tests as well?

Can anyone recommend me good SAT guide books other than the Princeton Review?

Sorry for asking so many questions, help greatly appreciated (:

i’m gonna take math 2 and physics, but my biggest problem seems to be the timing, i could only finish half of the math test the first time i took it. which prep book will be the best for me to practice for subject tests?.

also, i did really bad in the critical reading section (410), compared to the other sections. i already have kaplan SAT reasoning prep book but i think i need another book that focuses on the critical reading section.

is the official SAT guide better or should i buy kaplan’s? or others?
oh, and should i but the study guide that has all the subjects in it? or is it better if i buy the study guide that has only physics, and math?
thank you!!

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?

As I’m preparing to move on to my sophomore year in high school, I am wondering if taking the SAT Subject Tests earliest as possible will look better than later test dates on a college application.

Instead of taking World History classes, I feel as if I want to commit my time into study and preparation for World History SAT Subject by using World History workbooks (such as Barron’s, Kaplan, etc)

To those who have taken the test: Was the test difficult? Did you take time preparing and studying? Do you recommend taking the World History class first and then the test later a better decision?

I’m a British student and I would like to study Politics at Princeton University in the US. I’m thinking of studying History, Economics and Mathematics at A-Level. What SAT Subject Tests should I take?

If I take English Lit. AP, Physics AP & French AP, will the preparation for the AP exams be good enough for the SAT subject tests in those areas? Would I need to learn new stuff for the SAT subject tests and would I need a tutor?

I want to apply for admission in the fall of 2008.. I missed the June2 registration as I wasnt in town and anyway am not completely prepared yet..
The next dates are October6 and November3.. Is it too late to give my SAT and SAT Subject tests.. will I be cutting it very fine? I dont have any othr choice..

I would like to pursue the science courses in university.

Thanks in adcance

people, how important is it to actually "prepare" for the subject tests
for math(isnt it similar to the one on SAT 1?), russian, and spanish
thnks for help

Hi, I live in the UK and am seriously considering going to college in the US. I know I will have to take the SATs and was wondering:
a. How do they compare to A-Levels? I need to take Maths II and a science SAT for the places I’m interested in. How do these compare to AS level sciences and maths? I have looked on the collegeboard website but it is hard to judge from the limited number of questions.
b. What (if any) study guides people would recommend? — for the reasoning SAT as well as the subject tests.

I would really appreciate answers from people in the UK who have taken the SATs particularly Maths II, Physics or chemistry and studied these saubjects at A-level. But any opinions from people who’ve taken the tests would be great. Thanks =)

I want to take the SAT in the spring and want to get 3 or 4 books to study. I know for sure I’m getting the "Official SAT Study Guide" and I’m going to need the "Hot Words for the SAT" so I need opinions for which other book I should get. My GPA isn’t so strong so I need good SAT scores. Here’s my list:

-Official SAT Study Guide
-Hot Words for the SAT
-Cracking the SAT, by Princeton Review
-Barron’s SAT 2400:Aiming for the Perfect Score
-Barron’s Critical Reading Workbook for the SATs
-Cracking the SAT Math 1 & 2 Subject Tests

Anyone who’s taken the SAT, which book was most useful? and is it necessary to get SAT Subject Test books to study?

What SAT prep books do you recommend? Princeton Review, Barron’s, Peterson’s or Kaplan? (or any other book you find effective) I’m planning on buying some books aside from the ones by Collegeboard and I can’t narrow down my list.

Also, it’ll be my first time to take the SAT and I’m not sure if I’ll actually do well on the June testing considering the fact that I’ve only started studying formally this May (due to a lot of set-backs involving my parents).

I’m an incoming senior this June (we have a different academic calendar) and was wondering if it would be wise to schedule my test on October instead and schedule my subject tests on November.

I know the application deadline is on January and I’ll have to leave time for mail delivery. And I also need to know if my scores are good enough before I send in my applications (I’ll know probably mid-month, right?) or decide if I need to retake any. If they’re good enough, I plan to take other subject tests. Will I have enough time?

I’m currently receiving SAT tutoring sessions. Could this also help me with my AP exams that i have to take next year? Are the formats similar? If anyone can give me more information on the AP exam it would be helpful also, what are SAT subject tests like? are they similar to the SAT?

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??

I am planning on taking SAT Subject Tests in US History and Biology in October. As I was studying my prep books, I was wondering if I also used AP prep books for those classes, would they help? I really want to get a high scores on these tests. Are the AP prep books more in depths? I have never taken an AP exam before so I don’t know how thorough AP prep books are. Or should I just stick to studying only SAT Subject Test prep books?

My questions is not just using AP prep books but using both SAT II preps and AP preps.

I’ve recently borrowed a 2004-2005 version from the library, since I couldn’t find any more recent versions. Is it still good for this year’s test?

I’m not sure if the SAT Subject Tests have changed since 2005.

Also, is it worth it to buy a test prep book, a more recent version, even though I only have two weeks left to prepare?
AP Biology isn’t offered at my school. =/, so I took biology accelerated (honors, but graded on 4.0 scale).
