I plan to prepare for the AP Exams, SAT Is and SAT IIs, and the ACTs pretty early. I already have the College Board's guide, took the PSAT/SAT course at my school and plan to take the ACT one offered for Seniors in my Senior Year. But there are many guides out there which all say they can assist me. I've searched Amazon and everyone likes the Princeton Review, but some of my teachers have said that The Princeton Review is not the best thing in the world at times and can confuse an individual.
Here are the AP Tests and Subject Tests which I plan to take either this year or next year. Those that are italicized are tentative, as I may not know all of the material because of the course level (Honors vs. AP).
SAT II Subject Tests
Literature
U.S. History
World History
Spanish with Listening
Chemistry
Physics
Biology - E
Mathematics Level II
AP Exams
English Language and Composition
English Literature and Composition
Calculus AB
Calculus BC
Spanish Language
Spanish Literature
Environmental Science
Chemistry
Physics (We don't offer AP Physics, but we do offer Honors Physics...=/)
U.S. History
World History
Also keep in mind that I do not have the money to take these $1000+ courses to prepare for the tests.
Is there a reason why you are taking so many SAT II subject tests? Look at the requirements for the colleges that you are applying to and go from there.

Well, some require that I take the SAT IIs in subjects that I am familiar with, and the ones I am familiar with are: Literature, Spanish, Math Level II, and Chemistry. Next year, I'll probably do Physics to add to it. Those are my best subjects, so why not take the SAT IIs in them? But the thing is, my courses are all "survey" courses: they are introductory college courses that allow us to understand some of the "big picture" elements of these courses, especially in Chemistry. The question is, "What can I do to better prepare myself for these tests?" I DO NOT have the thousands of dollars in cash to take these SAT II courses, and there is a ton of debate in deciding between the guides. Based on your knowledge, experience, and the like, what do you recommend I do?
Also, please keep in mind that I am not taking every SAT II (but if I am taking these AP classes next year, then it is highly probable that I will definitely take the exam.)
