Summary: Comparing with Barrons (For Math IIC)
Comment: This is not a bad book for those of us who have a solid background in trig and (pre)calculus. Unlike its Barrons counterpart, this book is a no nonsense guide to the SAT II math iic.
It tells you the sort of topics and questions to expect on the test. It is true that the questions are considerably easier than the real deal, the questions and the practice tests depict the actual test a lot more accurately than the Barrons.
Barrons manages to give you a screwed up impression of the real test, mentioning and giving inadequate explainations for many topics that AP level students haven't heard of (and that you certainly don't need to know for the SAT II). However, Barrons does train you harder and if you manage a score in the upper 30's on the Barrons, you should be OK on test day.
The only flaw with the Princeton Review book is that it doen't give you any security as it doesn't have an in-depth coverage of the topics (but again it is adequate if you are just reiewing topics that you have mastered previously), nor does it have tough questions.
Lastly, if you are willing to put in the effort, I would recommend you to buy this book and the Barrons just to freak you out and make you work harder in addition to the Real SAT IIs book just so you can see where you really stand.

Summary: An excellent guide for those with a solid math background!
Comment: You're nervous, you're sweaty. You see the person in front of the room talking but you can't quite understand what he is saying because you are too focused on the task before you. You know that this test could mean saving thousands of dollars and getting into the college of your choice. Welcome to the SAT II subject tests, a rite of passage for anyone who is applying to more competitive schools. Most students haven't even heard of SAT II's and are unfamiliar with the importance of these specialized tests. This book provides the reader with a guide to understanding the nature and format of the SAT II Math IC and IIC. Before I make any comments on the book I want to provide you with some details about my math background. I am an honors student who is currently enrolled in AP Math (Calculus) and scored a 680 on the math section of the SAT I. When I took the Math IIC for the first time (after having used this book to cram the night before and morning of the test) I scored a 780 out of 800, not bad. I feel that this book is effective only if you have a solid math background and if you are willing to do all of the exercises and practice in the book. Like anything the more you work at it the better you will get. This book is very good when it comes to providing the reader with quality content in an easy format to understand. It is also important to know that this book alone will not make you score well, but will raise your score. Good Luck on the Test!

Summary: Crap
Comment: 3 exercises on one page, so few examples, incomplete and misleading, plus the exams are old fashioned; I wish I never bought this book.
