<p>I got the Barron's Math IIC book, and I am wondering what are the topics that discussed in the book that probably won't show up on the subject test. Is there going to be formal logic and three dimensional coordinate geometry, both of which require memorization of formulas that I have not learned before?</p>
<p>I feel fairly confident saying there's no formal logic on the IIc. There is definitely 3D geometry, but I think it's primarily of the Euclidean variety rather than coordinate. You will need to know how to find the distance between two points in three-dimensional space, which I guess counts as coordinate geometry. I wouldn't totally skip the 3D coordinate geometry, in other words.</p>
<p>My recommendation to anyone using the Barron's book would be to not worry about over-preparation and just to make sure you can get your goal score on the practice tests there. If you work towards achieving this goal (i.e. find your weaknesses and fix them), you'll be set on test day.</p>
<p>Hmm, I just got a 42 raw score on the first Barron practice test, which is a 790 using the College Board's actual curve. Can I assume that the actual test will be a bit easier?</p>
<p>Yes (10 char)</p>
<p>It doesn't overprepare you. It freaks you out.</p>
<p>It will be much easier. I got like 700s and ended up getting 1 question wrong on the actual. Take the Real SAT II: Subject Tests exam for THE most accurate practice EVER.</p>
<p>OMG yes it freaks you out!!!!!</p>
<p>ive done 4 tests so far and here are my dreadful scores (in chrono order lol..note the trend):
700, 650, 680, 740....... and as i took them i was freaked out of my mind by the stuff on there that ive never heard of/seen b4</p>
<p>will I do better on the real exam??? im hoping i dont get a 650!!!
my goal is >750 ....</p>
<p>Are there vectors on IIC?</p>
<p>^ I think so.</p>
<p>Vectors are definately on IIC.</p>
<p>Only simple computation with vectors though. And for truthsmoker, if you're getting 790 on Barron's, I will kill myself if you don't get 800 on the real thing.</p>
<p>okay, so: math i vs ii...
do colleges look down on you if you take the i one, and what are the differences between each? What do each cover?
I will have just finished precal and just started bc cal. Which math sat should I take?</p>
<p>idamayer--</p>
<p>You should take Math 2, because it covers only up to precalc, and because it has a much more lenient curve than Math 1. It will look a lot better to colleges as well.</p>
<p>oh. that's wonderful. Thank you very much. You are helpful! <3</p>
