Has anyone used the Sparknotes services to prepare for the Math IIC SAT II? Was it any good? How about Biology E and Writing?

i used sparknotes math IIc book of 5 tests. i felt it was very representative of the problems on the actual IIc yet there were some errors or mistakes, especially on the third test. but overall i loved it.

Somehow I felt the sparknotes were easier than the barron's books. Does anyone think that while spraknotes may be good prep, that barron's is better?

sparknotes was not indicative at all of what I got on the real thing...I got a 720 and 740 respectively on their practices and a 650 on the real thing. As much as I loved the writing tutorial, I would NEVER ever recommend SN for math 2c. That's just my personal experience though.

i did a couple tests. 1 from Real SAT II book, 2 from Barrons, 1 PR, 1 Spark. Barrons was nothing like the other 3, which were very close to each other, so my guess is that Spark Notes is very indicative of the real test.
