A few days. Oct 9.

Kaplan's good man. The thing that annoys me though is that it doesn't have sufficient diagrams, so that's really annoying when studying. More diagrams = more effective learning.
Barron's better, in my opinion.

Always have reference books with you while you study, so you clear your concepts.

Good Luck. :)

Just appeared in SAT I exam. I can't speak for SAT II, but for the converse I'm pretty certain that Barrons does an amazing job of being the teacher and guide for the candidate. I didn't study for a long while--just studied for a week, barely--but the practical tips in the book as well as the unique approach really helped.

I think Barrons is excellent and better than Kaplans, though I haven't studied the latter.
