For Those Who Have Taken The NYS MATH B Regent, How Does It Compare To The SAT MATH?

<p>The above title pretty much says it all, is it easier or harder or the same?</p>

<p>the math b is ridiculously easy with the exception of the circle stuff, which my class never got to...arcs and tangents and those kind of properties...those aren't on SAT math.
SAT I math is a cinch, especially if you're still doing that kind of thing in school...I took SATs the first time as a soph, in math B, and got a 740 on the math...took it again as a junior in math IV and got an 800. math B is mostly proofs and other memorization stuff that you'll never use again, so I guess you could say it's harder.</p>

<p>I would say that Math B is easier because; although many of the problems are more complex, you're not nearly as worried about time as you are on the SAT. If you're prone to mistakes on Math B, chances are you have time to check the test over. With the SAT, that's not usually the case.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the replies, does Math B cover everything on the SAT?</p>

<p>i think both are pretty much the same...I think SAT math is a little easier, but that's just me.</p>

<p>Math B is easier since the SAT math tries to trick u</p>

<p>bump please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I would say Math B covers all the more complex topics on the SAT that they've added. I wouldn't say that simply studying for Math B a lot would be enough to get you ready for the SAT however.</p>

<p>I think that SAT Math is much easier. I mamaged a 710 on it. I was really good in Math B, but I only got an 84 on the NYS Regents. I probably made really dumb mistakes that cost me points. The year I took it was also the year when the test was impossibly hard (I think it was the June 2005 Math B test). After that, they dumbed it down a bit. I think that SAT Math is more Math A than Math B. The SAT I Math doesn't have proofs or cosine/sine, but Math B does.</p>

<p>Math B is much easier than the practice SAT's I have been taking. Got a 99 on the Regents, been getting 770 - 800 on the SAT. You only really need to know stuff from Math A...</p>
