<p>HI.
i will test it on Jan.28.it is close..
i prepard these three subjects on PR and Barron...
but..i always afraid that i cannot get 2400 score.
someone who can give me some advice to do it?
it is that difficult on the real test?
Thanks~</p>
<p>For math II, you should have two calculators- a small scientific one for simple operations and a graphing one for those annoying questions. Always take the lazy way out if you can. For example, if there is a question that asks for a limit that you know exists, just plug in a close number- plug in 1.99 if the limit is to 2. If you get a question that asks you when does log 3 x = logx2, just graph log 3 x -logx2 and see when the function equals zero. You need to learn how to save time. By the way, while barron’s is an awesome book, it gives useless stuff like latus rectum. Because I don’t remember what is useless, you’ll have to ask someone else. You must know everything about functions. For example, if you were asked for what values of x is sin(B-x2) a maximum, you have to know for what value is sin at its max. If you have no idea how to solve a question, just graph the question, and if you still don’t have an answer, skip it. Read barron’s, work with it, solve sparknotes’ tests, and you should be fine. </p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t have any advice for chemistry. There aren’t any tricks; It’s a very straightforward exam. Don’t bother with very advanced stuff. You’ll have to balance redox reactions. Know solubility rules… and that’s it. Just know your stuff.</p>
<p>I didn’t take physics.</p>
<p>The actual math 2 exam is easier than Barron’s. Chemistry is so easy that you’ll probably won’t need preparation if you already know everything. By the way, why are taking it all on one day? If I were you, I spread them over a few months. Are you in a hurry for admissions?</p>
<p>For Math II, definitely learn to take the fastest, easiest route. I’m one of the top math students at my school, but even I didn’t have time to finish (left 2 blank), and I would normally finish tests in half the time or less. Some of the stuff you just won’t know, so just skip it and then when you’re done with everything else, spend your remaining time on the skipped stuff. I found that fiddling with my graphing calculator and writing programs to brute force answers helped answer about 3 of the 5 or so that I skipped the first time around.</p>
<p>For Physics, it is very possible to get an 800 because of the curve. I didn’t know any of the E&M or Modern Physics stuff and still got a 750 (my regular physics class did not cover this stuff). Make sure you know all the formulas and know how to use them correctly, and if you’re not taking AP Physics B (C doesn’t have thermo and some other stuff I believe) then start studying for the stuff now. Some of the questions are AP-level questions, so keep that in mind. I can’t comment on review books because I started using them way too late, but I picked up PR/Barrons for Physics.</p>
<p>Um…Math tri-funtion. it is a little tricky.my calculator is Ti-nspire CAS.is this enough for test Math level 2? or i need to open [press-to-test] mode during the test? PR Math 2 is too easy…it is easier than real test.isn’t it? sometimes i hate function…it is a little complex. although i come from China…
and for Chem.i agree with you. now i finished BR.it is simple to do.
i will do the modern Test ASAP.
is there too more complex funtion question on the real test?
Um…Hmmmm.
it is difficult…
thanks for your help!</p>
