>> Not at all like the real test
I purchased this book a month before I took my SAT II to help me brush up on some Algebra II topics I had forgotten The explanations for the algebra II topics I needed the most help on were short and confusing with not enough examples given The practice tests included were unhelpful and inaccurate and focused on the hardest topics that are rarely covered on the actual SAT II I am a very good math student and the practice tests projected me for a high 600 score I ended up getting a full 800 on the test with no thanks to this book I read and reread the sections I needed help on trying to understand what it was talking about Completely frustrated I ended up going to my math teacher at school for help What you can use this book for is to get an idea of what topics you are unfamiliar with but don t expect it to actually help you understand them
>> Helped refresh my memory but terrible with teaching
This book was only good for concepts I already remembered how to do There was some new stuff that I wasn t really sure about and the explanations are terrible I could not learn from it However it did serve well to show me a very hard version of what could be on the test and it scared me into thinking the test would be harder than it was the test seemed easy compared to the book
>> Awesome Review Book
This is a great book for any high school student who wants to score high on the SAT II Math Level 2 I prepared only from this book for about three weeks and received a 760 on the real SAT Math Level 2 It is evident that this book contains much harder questions than the real thing but that is just what makes this book so great The fact of the matter is that when I took the test I breezed through the harder questions because this Barrons book taught me that the hard questions are easy This is overall the BEST book to use when preparing for the SAT II Level 2 subject test
