<p>math 2 and physics, how long does it take to prep? or, how long before the test date did you?</p>
<p>im in honors math analysis and honors physics, getting a's.</p>
<p>Well, I just posted something very similar in another thread, but here it goes. For Math II, I spent very little time (like, an hour--seriously) prepping. All that I did was write down and then memorize the formulas/trig identities/etc. that I didn't already know. I didn't get an 800, but I still got a good score (770). There is, of course, a mega-disclaimer here: I took it this past fall and am in Multivariable Calc (not that that is necessary for Math II, by any means), and there are probably a lot of people on this forum who are much better at math than I am. So take that into consideration with any advice you recieve. 2nd disclaimer: I am an excellent and fast memorizer. </p>
<p>To tailor my advice more to you, I would say that this is an excellent time for you to take Math II. Honors Precalc (which I know is what Math Analysis is in this case) covers pretty much all the topics that are on the Math II exam(exception: some stats stuff and other few oddballs). You are doing well in the course, and if you break out some practice tests, you will see how much prep you really need. If you are already scoring near or above the 700 level, with no prep, then I would say that you need only minimal prep (brushing up on a few things that you forgot/never learned) and would be in fine shape for the exam. A lower score, and you might want to step up the prepping. </p>
<p>For Physics, I am less qualified to give advice. I took Honors Physics last year, and am now in AP Physics, and I didn't feel particularly ready for the exam last fall, when I considered (but did not) take it. But I am not a science student, and (as is obvious) I knew that I would not put in the prep time to get a good score. The thing about the Physics exam is that it covers Electricity/magnetism/waves as well as mechanics, and those might be topics that you are not as well learned in. So I would suggest that you invest some more time into prepping for the Physics exam than for the Math II.</p>
