Very Helpful, But Probably Not Worth Buying..., December 7, 2004
This review is from: Real SAT II: Subject Tests: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I used this book to help me out for my SAT II tests for Writing, Physics, and Math Level IIc. The practice tests in this book are actual SAT II tests used in previous years. I found the difficulty level and types of questions in this book to be very close to the actual test. This was a good thing because I used practice tests in other books that were much more difficult than the real thing as well as online tests that were much too easy. However, I must warn you, it probably will not be worth your money to actually purchase this book. The tests are excellent but there is only ONE TEST for each subject so it may not be worth buying, especially if you only are taking one or two tests. Also I should note that the answers are given but there are no explanations. You are better off trying to borrow this book from your library or school. It may be wiser to buy a subject-specific book for each individual test you are taking, although for some of the less-taken tests this may be the only help you can find.

Doesn't live up to 10 Real SATS, December 27, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Real SAT II: Subject Tests: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book while providing one example of each SAT II subject test is not nearly as comprehensive nor as useful as 10 Real SATs. With so many tests in one edition, there is little information on each test. Also, with only one practice test per subject, after you familiarize yourself with the types of questions you're already out of practice material. I don't recommend buying it, but if you're going to take the regular SATs I definately reccommend 10 Real SATs for your review.

OK, but......, April 19, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Real SAT II: Subject Tests: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
From the title, you'd think that this was the best book out there. But there were all kinds of things on the SAT-II exams that were NEVER in this book, especially on the Math IC and IIC exams, so maybe they should call it "Kind of Real SAT-IIs". I think that's because first of all there's only one test per subject (that's too expensive, also) the tests in this book are like 7-10 years old, and had probably been used for many years in a row before they were put in this book, so they're really about 15 years old. Maybe they could put a new one out? Anyway, I used the Princeton Review book for the Math Tests, and it went over all the topics that showed up, 100%, so I don't know about other books but that one seemed to work better for me.
