(More customer reviews)I used the 2006-2007 version of this book to prepare for the SAT 2 math level 2. It gave me a comprehensive review of all the topics on the test. I really liked how they provided a summary table at the end of each chapter that summarized what was important on each unit.
To give you some numbers, my practice test scores were between 750~770. On the real thing, I ended up getting a 790. It proves that kaplan practice tests are a tiny bit harder than the actual test. So if you are looking for a good sat 2 math level 2 prep book, kaplan is a good, reasonable choice.
Although I have never used it, I also recommend princeton review's book. My friend, who used that book, took the test with me on the same date and came out with an 800. Considering the fact that he struggled in his math classes while I did not, I would say princeton review is also an excellent choice.
I do not recommend Barrons and Meilani's 15 "realistic" practice tests. Although they both boast how "realistic" their tests are, I found the barrons book replete with garbage you will not need to know for the test and meilani's test questions too hard. Only use these books when you think you really know what's on Kaplan's or Princeton Review's book.
I also strongly recommend you to take the test "after" you finish pre-calculus. I was doing well in my pre-calc class last year and so I decided to take the test on may, when we had still a bit more material to cover. Although it is a terrific score for a sophomore, considering that most people take the test during their junior or senior year, I could have done better if I had learned all my pre-calculus materials. This proves that it is not enough to just know what is in the book. You actually need to engage with all sorts of problems in your pre-calc class.
