Cracking the SAT II Math 2001-2002
The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT II: Math exam is very different from getting straight As in school. They don't try to teach students everything there is to know about math--only what they'll need to score higher on the exam.There's a big difference. InCracking the SAT II: Math, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and: * Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you * Score higher by reviewing some basic arithmetic concepts * Earn more points by plugging in numbers on algebra problems *** This book includes 4 full-length simulated SAT II: Math exams (two each for Math IC and Math IIC). All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained. Contents Include: I Introduction What Are the Math Subject Tests? When Should I Take a Math Subject Test?
