<p>I'm a junior this year (2008) . I am confused on when to take SAT Level 2 Math.... One of the colleges i will be applying to ends their admissions on Feb 28th, 2009... Do you think it is better to take SAT 2 Math in June and take Physics and Chemistry like in October or later... or take SAT 2 Math in October as well?
How many months of preparation do you need to get an 800 in SAT 2 Math?
(I'm a honors precalc student this year...)</p>
<p>well id get the sat reasoning done first and early(i took it march last year as a junior) then i took the math 2 in may while in precal and got an 800 (if ur in honors precal and doing well it should be easy) then i spread the rest of my sat 2s out over the first semester of senior year so i could focus on one at a time</p>
<p>See if they're offering Math, Physics, and Chemistry all in one session. You can take more than one test in one day. I'm pretty sure that SAT Math, Physics, and Chemistry can all be taken in one test date. If you can do that, do that, because if you decide to take Math on one date and then Physics and Chem on another test date, you have to pay two separate registration fees. It sucks. So take all 3 in one session if you can; it saves like $18 or $26 or something like that.</p>
<p>If you're an honors precalc student and you're doing well, you should be fine on the SAT II. A lot of it is plugging stuff into your calculator. Take a practice SAT II Math test and see how well you did on that, and then plan accordingly.</p>
<p>It's not how many months of prep I need, it's how many months YOU need. It depends on where you are at, and just because you are an honors precalc student doesn't mean that you'll have an easy time with the test, but you will probably be familiar with all the main concepts on the test.</p>
<p>A lot of the SAT II Math is TRIGONOMETRY.</p>
<p>So, if I were you, I'd go to the library and get an SAT II Math sample test (get it from the Official Guide, if you can). Take the test, and see how well you do. If you get close to 800, it probably won't matter when you take the math test.</p>
<p>Then think about how long Chemistry and Physics will take. Take the tests on the same date, if you can.</p>
