<p>What is the best way to prepare for it? any good review books?</p>
<p>wait until you do your pre calc in school, do well in school and take your sat ii, you will be fine</p>
<p>And also get a TI-89 and know how to use it.</p>
<p>I won't ever take Pre-Calc, I take Trig next year, in the 11th grade, and Calculus 12th grade. Can I still take it after taking trig?</p>
<p>Barron's how to prepare of the SAT II math level IIc is the best book out there... go through the 9 practice tests in the book and you should be fine.</p>
<p>barrons tends to run a little hard so dont get intimidated, but its still a good book</p>
<p>Thanks, I have a TI-84 silver edition, would that be good for the test?</p>
<p>i heard ppl give some rave reviews about the 89 and i suppose it could help if you really know how to use it well but i got an 800 with my 83+. my advice is just to practice using princetons book. barron's is a lot harder and it doesnt teach you as well. the book feels cluttered with bad pictures and really hard examples that dont help.</p>
<p>Same story as agentbauer. You don't need the 89, although if you get one and know how to use it, all the more power to you.</p>
<p>I think if you take trig next year, you'll be fine, but I never really pay attention to the math curriculum.</p>
<p>I prepped for the math SAT II over a period of time (two months?). I first learned the concepts and did some practice problems. I intermittently took practice tests to make sure I was making progress. I was pretty lazy about this, though. I just cracked down on myself the week before. In one day, I went through my PR prep book and relearned all the concepts. Then everyday afterwards, I took at least one practice test.</p>
<p>For me, prepping for this test, more than any other, requires not so much learning as doing practice problems.</p>
<p>It seems like a lot of ppl got mid 600's for the MATH IIC on June...</p>
<p>Taking a trigonometry and precalculus course will definitely help, and I strongly recommend taking the SATII Math IIc after you have completed that course (and preferably as soon as you finish the course). </p>
<p>In addition to the course, you should also get a prep book and study to the test... because it is quite different from the tests most are given in school. Barron's book for Math is great - perhaps overkill - but if you want a top score, you should overprepare. Good luck!</p>
