<p>whatever, I'm just speaking from my experience. I don't understand how, if you prepare extensively, you can get a low score.</p>
<p>you've started a thread titled "what does it mean to study for the SAT II" so I understand why you think my comments are condescending...</p>
<p>It's not just you, but to call a test "easy" because you did well on it does not seem to be as helpful as something more objective.</p>
<p>I'm not saying that it's easy because I did well on it. The test is easy because if you study a lot, you will do well.</p>
<p>I hate it how the SAT II Percentiles though are a lot more nasty that the SAT Reasoning percentiles...630 on a SAT I section would be like 85 percentile, however on many subject tests (depends on which one) it can range from 20th percentile to 70th percentile....</p>
<p>I got a 790. A few tips:</p>
<p>Practice math more than anything. Being able to do the abstract math, eliminating obviously wrong choices, and guessing will help you save several minutes.</p>
<p>Don't waste too much time on the TTCE. In fact, I would recommend skipping it until the end if you can't time yourself well on standardized tests.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I definitely agree...practice your math skills because you're not allowed to use a calculator and there's a lot of math. It's simple, but it can be time consuming if you don't have practice.</p>
<p>Here's a tip...don't waste your time checking over answers that you KNOW are right. I must have wasted 5 minutes on the questions on the beginning. On the one that asked "Which of the following is a Noble gas", I kept rechecking that for some reason and ended up wasting SO much time. I guess I was just nervous and didn't want to make stupid mistakes.</p>
