Dr John Chung SAT II Math Level 2 2nd Edition To get a Perfect Score on the SAT Dr John Chung 9781481963213 Books Reviews
- I've been tutoring kids for the SAT-II Math-II test (among other things) and have used the College Board's book for Math-II (only 2 tests), Princeton Review's book (easy - only 2 tests) Barron's Math-I (harder and good prep with review but only 3 tests), Barron's Math-II (even harder but good review and 7 tests), and Dr. Chung's here. Dr. Chung's book is almost all tests (12 tests). There is almost nothing in the way of review of the material and the questions are the hardest of all. Some are so hard that it is difficult to believe anything like them will come up on the real Math-II test which is why I took off 1 star. On the other hand, if you can do all these questions you absolutely, positively know your stuff and can expect a very high score on the real test. You can miss 5-6 questions on the real test and still get 800 which is probably why 11% of the test takers get an 800.
If you teach pre-calc or algebra 2 there are some great problems here for extra credit on tests.
In prepping students I start with Princeton Review as a kind of light intro, and then the Barron's SAT-I Math-I book since the problems are actually about the difficulty of the real Math-II tests, then the Barron's Math-II book which is harder then the real thing but better to be over-prepared than under. I finish with the real tests. Finally, if they have time and like a challenge we tackle Dr. Chung's book. I like the problems here but some I tell the kids to skip because they won't come up on the test. - Compared with other sat2 books,this one is really the only thing you need to get a perfect score.Although the coverage of this book is far beyond that of real test,if you can missed like 1-3 on this book,i swear you can ace the real thing with 100% correctness.I am not boasting.If you try barron sat math2 or some else(Mcgraw hill,peterson,sparknote idk even easier than regular sat),you will find that only barrons and this one kind prepares you;however,barrons itself misses alot of tips in its review and put everything on its formula sheet.
- In my review, I will NOT base it on my sat grade but instead on the product itself.
It's a good book with lots of problems but the "answer sheet" is very hard to understand. It never fully explains how to get the correct answer and I find this overall frustrating since I study independently. Of course you can ask your tutor or teacher for help, but the point of this book is to provide study material that you can do on your own. Because of this, I felt like a part of the book was "missing". No mater what your intellect is, there may be some questions that are challenging but without an explanation from the answers, the book is useless. - I just took the SAT Math 2 (October 2014). I have to say, this book is EXCELLENT. Sure there are a couple of typos in the tips section, but I bought this book for the 12 practice tests. The score you get on Chung's is usually lower than your actual SAT score (at least that's what other people are saying...). I can't divulge any info about the SAT Math 2, but I can say that this book is excellent preparation for it. Make sure to buy it early and do ALL of the 12 practice tests.
- This is pretty good with putting formulas/things you should memorize/need for the test succinctly. I would not recommend this book to someone who is trying to learn the material (Barron's or Kaplan would be better at that). This is more so a book for people who already know how to use everything and need a recap or a few practice problems/tests to work on.
- This book includes a large amount of fairly challenging practice tests that I feel prepared me really well for the SAT Math 2 Exam. The tips are also quite useful, but the tests are definitely what makes this book stand out as an excellent SAT prep book. I scored an 800 on the SAT Math Level 2 Exam, which I felt was about the same level of difficulty as the tests in this book, perhaps a little easier. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants an 800 (perfect score) on the SAT Math 2 Exam!
- There is no reason to use this book. It is much, much harder than the real test. In my opinion, students are wasting their time trying to complete these tests and understand the all-too-often opaque and insufficient answer explanations to the questions they missed. I would recommend Barron's for a book that offers tests that are still harder than the real exam or McGraw Hill for a book that offers tests that are very similar in difficulty to the real test.
