Am I prepared to take SAT II Math Lvl 2?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>I'm planning on taking the SAT Subject Test on Math Level 2 this Saturday (May 5th), but my recent practice test scores have really made me lose confidence. I NEED to get a perfect score of 800 because I plan on majoring in the sciences and it would be great to have an 800 on math, my best subject.</p>

<p>I've used 3 books to prepare: McGraw-Hill, Princeton Review ('05-'06 Edition) as well as Barron's. I've done well on McGraw-Hill exam's, scoring in the mid- to low-40's (aka, I get more than 40 out of 50 questions correct). I've gotten a 770 on a Math Level 2 prac. test in Princeton Review, but my practice scores on Barron's is a different story.</p>

<p>People have said that Barron's exams are harder than the actual College Board SAT on Math Level 2, but I've only done somewhat decently on these. Here are my scores from Prac. Tests 5-8, all of which I took during this month(I did practice tests 1-4 some months ago, and they were fairly low):
Prac Test 5 - 31.75
Prac Test 6 - 27.75
Prac Test 7 - 28.25
(FINAL) Prac Test 8 - 26.25</p>

<p>I admit that my last practice test was FULL of MANY careless errors and I should've definitely scored at least 2 points higher. All the Barron's practice tests give a range (all my scores were in the "Above Average" category) and the scores I gave are my raw scores since there's no conversion chart on Barron's. </p>

<p>I'd love feedback from people who have scored an 800 on SAT II in Math Level 2, because I need to know if I should be capable (with more preparing this week) of achieving a perfect 800, given my practice test scores. Thank you!</p>

<p>Barron's tests are hellish compared to the real thing. The questions are much harder and the scores you get on Barron's are not indicative of your scores on real tests. </p>

<p>Princeton review's tests are <em>extremely</em> accurate -- meaning you can probably get that 800 by being more careful. </p>

<p>If you want to be absolutely sure of your ability, go down to your local B&N and buy the official math study guide by the college board. It has two previously-administered tests that you can use to accurately gauge your ability. </p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thank you, Ashraf Eassa! I think I will go buy those 2 tests tonight and just prepare like my life depends on it (which it does, sort of), haha.</p>
