ABOUT THE TEST

Who Takes the Test and What Is It Used For?
Students planning to attend college take the SAT II: Math Level IC Subject Test for one of two reasons:

(1) Because it is an admission requirement of the college or university to which they are applying;
OR
(2) To demonstrate proficiency in Mathematics.

The SAT II: Math Level IC exam is designned for students who have taken more than three years of college preparatory mathematics (two years of algebra and one year of geometry).

Who Administers The Test?
The SAT II: Math Level IC Subject Test is developed by the College Board and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS). The test development process involves the assistance of educators throughout the country, and is designed and implemented to ensure that the content and difficulty level of the test are appropriate.

When Should the SAT II: Math Level IC be Taken?
If you are applying to a college that requires Subject Test scores as part of the admissions process, you should take the SAT II: Math Level IC Subject Test by November or January of your senior year. If your scores are being used only for placement purposes, you may be able to take the test in the spring. For more information, be sure to contact the colleges to which you are applying.

A waste of money.......2003-04-15

I gave myself enough time to review with this book, but it didn't help me at all. I wound up desperately searching for my old school notes to help me understand what the book was trying to explain. I struggled to absorb the information in the book because there was so much of it, and after I took the test I found out that most of it was extraneous. I got a 630 on the test, and while that isn't a terrible score, I bought the book in hopes of working up to somewhere near a 700. I could have gotten a 630 on my own, without wasting my money on this book.
There has to be a better review book than this. Try as hard as you can to find something else.

Far too comprehensive to be helpful!.......1999-12-28

I've been teaching SAT and SAT II courses professionally for around 5 years, and I can honestly say that this title was one of the least-popular and least-helpful books I have EVER used. The title (or sub-title) of the book states that this is the most comprehensive title available -- that's the problem. It's far TOO comprehensive. It includes lots and lots of information that has never been on the test, and that is very unlikely to appear on the test in the future. (If you learn EVERY word in the dictionary, you're sure to get a good verbal score on the SAT, but there are FAR more effective ways to INTELLIGENTLY improve your vocabulary!) To make matters worse, it seems to have been written BY math lovers FOR math lovers and is nearly incomprehensible to someone who's not a math lover. Hey, if you love math, then you don't need a prep book for the SAT II in the first place! The book has way too much information to absorb, the practice tests are unrealistically difficult, and there's no easy way to use only selected portions of the book (for an abbreviated prep based upon the most important concepts, for example). This book feels like a desk reference for mathematics, not a study guide.

In my classes and tutoring, I've found that the books by the big test prep companies (Princeton Review and Kaplan) are concise, accurate, and logically arranged. If forced to choose, I give the Princeton Review title a slight edge above the Kaplan book, but both are excellent titles. I suggest getting both the Princeton Review and the Kaplan titles -- compared to a prep course or college tuition, they're an amazingly inexpensive investment.

How much did I dislike this book? After reading the title, I bought a dozen of them to use with my students -- but after using it for one group of students, I ended up shipping all of the unused copies back. These criticisms apply to both the Math IC and IIC books -- I don't know about the rest of the books for the other subject tests.

Book Description

A social, economic, and political study of Philadelphia merchants, this study presents both the spirit and statistics of merchant life. Doerflinger studies the Philadelphia merchant community from three perspectives: their commercial world, their confrontation with the Revolution and its aftermath, and their role in diversifying the local economy. The analysis of entrepreneurship dominates the study and challenges long-standing assumptions about American economic history.

Book Description

This fascinating book brings fresh insight to the debate on the role of the countryside in the industrialization process. By providing an integrated study of an upland area, the North Yorkshire Pennines, the study is able to address two key issues concerning the countryside: how well it responded to the challenge of industrialization and urbanization and how successful it was in surviving in an increasingly industrial country. By using previously unexploited private papers in conjunction with national sources, the author is uniquely able to demonstrate the mechanisms of rural response. Wensleydale and Swaledale are an ideal area to study as they are contiguous and superficially similar and yet, as this book shows, enjoyed or endured very different experiences. This book challenges many of the traditional views about the role of the countryside. By measuring the wealth of the two dales it demonstrates how landownership and farmholding patterns coupled with developing dairy and livestock production enabled some communities to retain their vitality while successfully responding to unprecedented change. It shows how pre-industrial craft occupations and a by-employment textile industry survived for most of the period and how the existence of a volatile mining industry could both enhance and threaten that response. Finally the book shows how transport and migration were key facilitators in the process of response.

Book Description

The book takes an innovative approach to promotional strategy and focuses on the integration of the entire promotion mix, not just advertising. As with prior editions, this edition is built on a solid behavioral foundation.

The authors' conviction is that advertising, trade promotion, consumer promotion, personal selling, direct marketing, public relations and publicity, and corporate advertising are all component parts of one integrated promotional mix. Today, most other authors and marketing practitioners also advocate this integrated marketing communication approach.

The book presents numerous practical, real-world examples, illustration, advertisements and cases and has been thoroughly updated and expanded to include topics of greatest importance to today's students and marketing practitioners.

A thorough discussion of the Internet for advertising and direct marketing is presented and media promotion and utilization statistics have been updated through 1999.

Book Description

A highly effective approach to safety and health management in the industrial setting.

Over the past two decades, the role of workplace safety and health professionals has expanded dramatically to encompass not only OSHA compliance, but a host of other regulatory and risk management areas such as fire protection, workers' compensation, insurance, quality control, and more. Defining this new role as the management of safety and resource control, this timely and comprehensive work introduces a unique method for effectively managing both loss prevention and the safety function in the industrial setting. The author incorporates MBO and TQM management techniques as well as contemporary ideas and technologies, providing clear guidelines and discussions on how to implement the new approach to the loss prevention and safety function, including:

How to use a circular management pattern to design, implement, and manage regulatory compliance programs
How to deal with emerging risk issues such as ergonomics, tuberculosis, or workplace violence
How to establish a new goal methodology based on performance rather than injuries/illnesses
How new technologies affect the loss prevention and safety function
How to assess one's current program, perform cost/benefit analysis, and build an individual action plan
How to minimize risks of corporate and individual liabilities
Where to find information on different federal and state laws and regulations

Book Description

Information Security Policies and Procedures: A Practitioner's Reference, Second Edition illustrates how policies and procedures support the efficient running of an organization. This book is divided into two parts, an overview of security policies and procedures, and an information security reference guide. This volume points out how security documents and standards are key elements in the business process that should never be undertaken to satisfy a perceived audit or security requirement. Instead, policies, standards, and procedures should exist only to support business objectives or mission requirements; they are elements that aid in the execution of management policies. The book emphasizes how information security must be integrated into all aspects of the business process. It examines the 12 enterprise-wide (Tier 1) policies, and maps information security requirements to each. The text also discusses the need for top-specific (Tier 2) policies and application-specific (Tier 3) policies and details how they map with standards and procedures. It may be tempting to download some organization's policies from the Internet, but Peltier cautions against that approach. Instead, he investigates how best to use examples of policies, standards, and procedures toward the achievement of goals. He analyzes the influx of national and international standards, and outlines how to effectively use them to meet the needs of your business.

Practical Policy Reference.......2005-05-19

This is a useful book for me to reference, especially when I deal with challenges in security policy framework review. The most impressive pages include the tier 1-2-3 framework, proper wordings in policy, policy sample studies and analysis, complete checklist and questionnaire.

After reading this book or on-and-off reference, I always remember four major elements in a policy:
1. Topic
2. Scope
3. Responsibility
4. Compliance

In addition, I have shared this book with an IT supervisor, he always go for this book for the team reference. I do feel happy to recommend it. Moreover, it readily happens to me I could apply the hints and tips from this book to the revised policy. Meanwhile, compared with the company's policy, it is undoubted organized and logical.

Be honest, in reality, many people still always mix up policy, standard and procedures as well as guidelines and produce a "Spaghetti-like" document to deal with auditor and compliance once a year only, you could say, many companies treat it as a last-minute homework.

Great book!.......2004-11-25

If you are doing infosec policy dev., this book is aweseome!

It saved me 10 hours this week alone.

A true practitioner's reference.......2004-08-06

This is one of the best books available for information systems security polices. The book covers tier 1 and tier 2 policies. This book looks at policies as a business enabler where policies support management's organizational goals. Great samples!

look elsewhere.......2002-08-23

I must agree with the previous reviewer, this book is lacking.
I bought a copy new and had the same problem where the
holes punched in the paper does not match the binder spacing.
What terrible quality. I had to force myself to even read
through the book after that.

And I found it lacking. The first part has some good info
about how to write a policy. Good but not great.

The second part was a sample policy/standard/procedure rolled
into one. I found it too thin and missing too much to be
really useful.

I haven't looked at the text the previous reviewer recommends,
but I have to say, given another book with similar content,
definitely stay away from this one.

My personal recommendation is Information Security Policies
Made Easy, by Charles Cresson Wood. It's pricey but oh so
worth it.

Spend Your Money Elsewhere.......2002-04-13

While this is a good reference, it's value does not match its price. The entire book in not included on the CD and the book does not include a "complete" set of policies. It is certainly enough to get you started, but not enough to complete the task.

If you are considering buying a used copy from an amazon marketplace seller as I did, be careful. The pages did not fit the binder and the CD was missing its setup file. I had to return it.

If you need assistance with security policies and procedures, take a look at Thomas Peltier's other book, Information Security Policies, Procedures and Standards: Guidelines for Effective Information Security Management. It contains almost all of the same material, at a much more reasonable price.
