<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I just got back my Math SAT II Level 2 and I got a 650. I honestly thought I did better, but the scores don't lie. I would like to get my score to above a 750 by the time I take the test again in December. I would really like to know how to do better on the exam. I am a junior in AP Calc AB and I got an A in my pre-calculus class. </p>
<p>any help is appreciated! thanks so much!</p>
<p>Try sparknotes and the SAT subject test book, …and wait until next year to retake. Don’t worry.</p>
<p>I got an 800 without studying (I completed in 40-50 minutes too. </p>
<p>Also, I got a 135 on the AMC10.</p>
<p>My advice is don’t stress out about it, and just relax.</p>
<p>Take a bunch of practice tests. That’s what I’m currently doing. Buy Barrons, and McGraw-Hill’s if you want, and maybe the others. I own those two, and borrowed the Official SAT Subject Test in Math Guide and the Princeton Book from the library. I used to be at 630, but I’m currently scoring 700+ by just taking tests and really going over the problems I got wrong. You may also want to try re-writing all the problems you miss on separate pieces of paper and re-do them in the future.</p>
<p>Whoa, GreedIsGood, you must be really smart!
Any tips for us less talented people?</p>
<p>I got 690 the first time I took it b/c I was too cocky and didn’t bother to study, but this time around i got 800 by studying my a** off for two months before hand. I reccommend using the Barron’s book to review and the Kaplan book for realistic practice tests. Do as MANY practice tests as you possibly can because that’s the best way to prep for the test. Also start as EARLY as possible. cannot stress this enough … and good luck :D</p>
<p>agree with GreedIsGood,just relax,i also did only 1 practice test before the test and got 800</p>
<p>I honestly don’t think that “just relaxing” will improve someone’s score from 650 to 750+. People that are obviously better at math, or at least the material covered on this test, might already have the potential to score an easy 800. But for many others, like myself, it is necessary to actually spend a lot time taking tests and reviewing errors. </p>
<p>Start taking practice tests as soon as possible. Keep tracking your progress, because there will be improvement, and keep taking tests until you’re satisfied with the score range you’re in. You do need to start soon though, because you really don’t want to find yourself pressed for time, trying to improve your score 100 points in the last few days.</p>
