People keep telling me that the Barron's Math IIC book is way harder than the actual test. Could somebody tell me what is NOT included in the test of what is in this book?

Which books are better?

Are there any online resources? Any available practice tests?

May the force be with you.

I used Princeton Review and got a 760.

Yeah it definitely is. I did practice tests in that book and never got higher than a 700, but on the actual one I got an 800 easily. I think Princeton Review is much easier also. Just make sure that you're getting things wrong because of time, not because you don't understand them. The topics are the same, but there just aren't as many hard questions.

Thanks guys! Anyway, which topics should I omit (if any) in the Barron's book? I guess there is nothing on conic section or so.

Online resources? Any reliable practice tests?

God will reward you if you respond.

I think God would be incredibly bored with this whole thread and has better things to do with His/Her time.

Come on, I have to motivate people somehow. Even a blasphemy can prove useful in this sense.
