Hands up, who's taking Math II with a scientific calculator!

<p>haha me!! i dont have a graphing calculator and i dont know how to use one either! been getting around 600-650ish timed (barrons) with loads of careless mistakes. sigh. while doing all those questions i kept thinking it was SOOO much easier what a graphing caluclator could do for me. </p>

<p>i have a graphing program on my computer and it helps so much in understanding stuff! so yes -- do people usually get 800s with scientific calculators? (man mine cant even solve cubic and quadratic equations like my friend's)</p>

<p>You sound good to go.

<p>Personally, I like my Casio fx-115ES more than my TI-89, albeit that's probably 'cause I use my Casio more. </p>

<p>My casio can do everything <333.</p>

<p>It can even do Integrals. Own.</p>

<p>xav that looks like MY YOUNGER SISTER'S. who is by the way, 12 years old this year. </p>

<p>anhtimmy, really?</p>

<p>600-650 Barrons is a possible 800 on the real thing, so your good. If you know the fundamentals, you don't really need a graphing calculator anyways. Try to see if your school can lend you one though.</p>

6

<p>Never scored more than a 650 on Barron, if you wanted to know :]</p>

7

<p>I used a scientific calculator cause thats all we're allowed here unless your taking general maths, and if your taking general maths your not taking Maths II lol</p>

<p>I did okay 760.. but was also the week before my MAJOR final exams so I barely studied. I basically read through the entire princeton review book. did 2 practice tests and that was that... all in the week before the test.</p>

8

<p>You should DEFINITELY get to learning how to operate an abacus. Got 800 with mine.</p>

9

<p>I use graphing for sureee I would die without it. 630-680 on Barron's hoping for a 700+ =)</p>

10

<p>i got 650-730 on barrons and 790 on the real thing. I think it's pretty safe to add an extra 100 points to your barrons score.</p>

11

<p>Penna, it may look like whoever's you want it to, but if it can solve quadratics, cubics, do integrals, sigma, vectors, stats, complex numbers, etc. and not be a graphing calculator (which means you can use it in most math classes that don't allow Graphing calculators) then I'm not complaining.</p>

12

<p>Xav I have the same calculator...fine piece of machinery.</p>

13

<p>I agree my casio is awesome it can do so much its not even funny (as far as non-programmable calcs go)</p>

14

<p>xav i didnt mean to insult your calculator but i realise it could be taken that way... Was just trying to say my sister is crazy. Oh well my test is over haha :) left a blank!</p>

15

<p>must use calc. id say that 70% of my test was done on my calc. didnt understand half of the concepts but got answers one way or another through the use of the graphing function. highest score on barrons: 670 real score: 800.</p>

16

<p>I used one on my first sitting. got 790. would've got 800 with a graphing one.
Graphing calc's would definitely help you with Math II.</p>
