<p>My precalc book has derivatives, but it's in the chapter labeled "An introduction to Calculus". My precalc final is only on limits and derivatives. Go figure.</p>
<p>Look at the curves for each test: it is MUCH easier to get a higher score on level two than on one. For example, you could miss the same number of questions on level two and receive an 800, whereas you would receive a 740 on level one</p>
<p>I honestly suggest you shouldn't take it because Pre-Calculus is very very hard to learn without a great teacher. I have a great teacher [who is now starting the Introduction to Calculus] and that is why I feel really prepared. However, it isn't impossible and if you spend a considerable amount of time, you sohlud be fine.</p>
<p>it's easier to get a higher score because the material is easier. and if you take both tests without knowing pre-calc you're going to get more wrong on Math II than Math I anyway so you won't get some magical score for taking Math II without studying pre-calc. trust me, there is a meaning behind collegeboard's madness. the nice curve is to level out the scores. not everyone is getting 800s on Math II. the average score on Math II is around 610-620.</p>
