Don't Bother January 7, 2007 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I owe a lot to the Princeton Review Series, but this particular book is very unhelpful. It wastes time focusing too much on the various formulas that the SAT doesn't even test. Trust me, the formula for volume of a cone won't do you much good. The worst part is the book does not distinguish between what material goes with which SAT II test- Math 1 or 2. What this book does best is freak out test-takers.
Pretty good July 10, 2006 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
i took the sat ii math level 2. i really didnt study too hard until like 2 weeks before the test. i only used this book and i still managed to crack 700. this book covers more info than that is actually on the test. the strategies that it gives are very helpful and if you just read through and do the examples, i am pretty sure that you could crack 700. i was only a sophomore when i took the test and i didnt even take calculus yet, so i must say, this book was sooo helpful!
A good review book. June 28, 2006 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Well, I just got back my Math 1 score from the June administration of the SAT Subject tests. I got a 730, which I think is a result of using this great book. It is a little unorganized, but everything you need is there if you'll read the entire book. Unlike other Princeton review books that cover two levels of tests (like the AP Calc AB & BC book), this one actually divides well between Level 1 and Level 2 materials. Overall, it had a great review of the material, with explanations of how to do the practice problems and not just the answers. The practice tests were more difficult than the actual exam. I got a 650 on one and a 660 on the second one, despite the fact I got a 730 on the real SAT test. It's much better than the Sparknotes Math 1 book, which I also used to review. I basically got 800s on their tests because you could recognize how to do all the problems from practice problems in the book. One test didn't vary much from the next. But that's not the case with the Princeton Review book, because you cannot really recognize the problems as familiar. It's overall a great book.
Very good June 10, 2006 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
The book is pretty good, the test are harder than the actual. That is actually good for practice. Using this book will increase your scores.

Makes you feel good (???) May 25, 2006 2 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book makes you feel good but in a false way. There are not many examples and only few practice tests.
