I took this subject test in June and got 660, much lower than expected. I used barron’s and princeton’s review to study, and heard that barron’s was way harder than the actual test, so I was pleased with mid-600/ low 700 on all the practice tests and heard from the reviews that this would guarantee me at least a 750. In the PR practice tests I got mid-high 700s. I was expecting a score in the high 700s and was somewhat disappointed with my score. I have signed up for the January testing but am feeling lost on how to study. Help?
Hi, I also was in the same situation as when I first took the Math 2 test I only got 680; when I took it again the next month I got 800: so it is definitely possible to improve.
I would reccomend buying Dr. Chung’s book and doing the tests in there for additional review. If you’re missing some various odd topics which I struggled with, such as matrices and vectors, go over those too.
I also would reccomend buying the TI cable for your calc and using it to sync some programs for your calc. (This isn’t neccessary, but I found it came in handy on a few problems- for example, as a triangle solver.) You also can type/save various formulas onto your calculator so you do not have to remember them.
Also, remember some months seem to have a much better curve than others on the Math 2, so don’t lose hope.
