5.0 out of 5 stars
Accurate review book, June 3, 2007
This review is from: Cracking the SAT Math 1 and 2 Subject Tests, 2007-2008 Edition (College Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I took the math IIC test earlier today and the Princeton Review book was on target. The practice tests were very similar in difficulty level to the actual test itself, and the book's lessons and suggestions were very helpful as well as readable.
I also own the Barrons review book, and while that was good to practice the toughest questions, it is really nothing like the test itself. So I recommend the Princeton Review over the Barrons to anyone looking for a sufficient review of the material and accurate practice for the exam.

Worthless, June 9, 2008
This review is from: Cracking the SAT Math 1 and 2 Subject Tests, 2007-2008 Edition (College Test Preparation) (Paperback)
This book is worthless for the Math Level 2. Doesn't cover everything in detail, doesn't explain most of the stuff - and the level is too easy.
I mean, why would anyone pay $20 for this? If you want a GOOD score on the IIC, get something like Barron's or the "15 Realistic Tests" one. I admit they're way more difficult than the actual test standard, but you'll need it if you want to get anything above 750 - which isn't that much in the Level 2, as more than 10% of the test takers get a perfect score of 800.
If you just want to see how much you get on a realistic SAT test, get the official SAT Subject Test Study Guide or the official SAT Math Study Guide, the CollegeBoard ones.

Too many errors for a 20 dollar book., November 2, 2007
This review is from: Cracking the SAT Math 1 and 2 Subject Tests, 2007-2008 Edition (College Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I'm giving this book two stars because the actual review material was amazing, and really helped me understand math.
However, this book has many errors. Most of the errors I remember were in the chapter with the answers to the drills and practice questions in tables. For example, for a couple of tables the page numbers the tables say they refer to are off. Another example, theres one spot where the answer in the answer column contradicts the answer the explanation says is correct. These kind of things drive me insane, and simply should not be in a book that costs twenty dollars. These errors are fixed by simple, simple proofreading.
I also bought Princeton Review's Chemistry subject test guide, and because of that other book I will never buy anything from this company again.
