Rating: Summary: Crap Review: 3 exercises on one page, so few examples, incomplete and misleading, plus the exams are old fashioned; I wish I never bought this book.
Rating: Summary: this book has too many careless errors!!! Review: Come on TPR! Did your proofreaders take a coffee break when this one came to the table? I mean, the stragies are just what I'd expect from the Princeton Review: to the point, helpful, and not extraneous. But what in the heck is going on with the errors. I find myself being the dupe of unmeant "trick" questions because of all of the blatant and careless errors. All it would have taken was one (just one) guy to go through the entire book to correct some of the most common mistakes. I almost wanted to get another book, but then I realized that there wasn't a better one around. My struggles with this book have tested, although not taken away, my faith in you guys. Buyers beware!
I want an explanation for this!!!!!!!!1
Rating: Summary: Wow! Review: Great book. The questions match really well what's on the test, and it's written in a thorough, but humorous style. Anyway, the below review is on the Chemistry book, not SAT-II Math.
Rating: Summary: What book is this Review: I don't if any one else has noticed this or not but, all the reviews are for the Princeton Review for the Chemistry or Physics tests but the book being reviewed shouldbe the Princeton Review Math
Rating: Summary: Another great review book by the experts at Princeton Review Review: I don't know what the other people are talking about, but I found this book very helpful. I used it to study for the Math IIC exam, literally, days prior to the test date and I still managed to get a 690, a respectable score. I feel that if I had more time, I would have done much better -- which is why I'm taking it over next year, leaving ample time to read the book at a leisurely pace. Sure, there are a few typos, but no one's perfect, and those errors do not detract from the overall package. The only way this book could get any better is if David Kahn, the author of the "Cracking the AP Calculus" series wrote it himself.
Rating: Summary: good review book Review: I worked with the following books and scored straight 800's:
1. SAT II Math With TI
2. 10 Realistic 1C Booklets
3. 10 Realistic 2C Booklets
4. Princeton Review SAT II Math
I recommend that you do the same!
Rating: Summary: Fine book for reviewing Review: The SAT Math II tests both cover a wide range of topics. One cannot expect any one book to cover them all. This book tries its best to cover all topics but it should not be a replacement for a precalc / algebra II textbook - only a supplement. It gives you tips and tricks to master the SAT tests that one might forget such as trig methods for calculating areas for parallelogram and triangles. If you have a strong background in math or have taken a precalc course, this book should almost be a breeze. It covers all of the basics but only touches upon more complex subjects such as binomial combinations and polar coordinates. But the author does have a point - your chances of seeing those questions on an actual test are very slim. All in all, this book won't let you down
Rating: Summary: Very good to study and prepare you for SAT II Math Review: This book have 2 practice IC and IIC tests. It also has topic summaries so you can review everything. With the pratice exams of IC and IIC, you can figure out which test is best for you, and it has complete explantions.
Rating: Summary: excellent book for review! Review: This book is very helpful and is easy to follow. They seemed to cover everything given on the test and offered great explanations. I believe I did spot a few typo's though? But nothing major. The tests at the end of the book were helpfull too; they seemed to me to be the same level of difficulty that the actual test was. Also, what's cool is that you can actually find your estimated scaled score... After taking the math 2c (got 790) I feel this book really provided me with a good review of math concepts. Good luck to all...
Rating: Summary: too simplified Review: This book merely covers the basic materials of SAT II Math IIC. Everybody almost knows the stuffs in the review sections. This book basically didn't help me.
