I need your guys' advice!! Math II and..

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Okay.</p>

<p>So November I took Math II and Literature.</p>

<p>Finished 35/50 on math. Put C for the rest. The other 15 there were at least 5 that I could do with extra time.</p>

<p>I got a 640. :/</p>

<p>Finished 38/60 on Lit. Put C for the rest. Everyone had told me it was easy (My friends got 700+) I was totally not expecting 18th century literature. I ran out of time as well.</p>

<p>I got a 550..</p>

<p>For the colleges I'm applying to, I need at least 700+ on two subject tests. </p>

<p>Math, I need to work on time by taking practice tests. I also needed to review some formulas.</p>

<p>As for the second test.. I have no clue what to do. I planned on taking the Biology Test, but after hours of studying, my practice tests were in the 500's. I'm in AP Biology as a senior and this is pretty much my first time taking a bio course (my school freshman year was stupid and put me in 1 semester of regular Bio.. they didnt have honors or AP. It was a joke class)</p>

<p>I took AP Chem sophomore year. Terrible experience. We had 20 kids to start with, 10 dropped, and only one passed the exam with a 3. She's going to Harvard.</p>

<p>Honors Physics last year. Another joke class. :/</p>

<p>Also, I never took precalculus, which is the majority of the Math II exam. I went from algebra II honors to Calc, and our precalc class is basically a review of algebra II.</p>

<p>What is your guys advice? I know you are suppose to take a years worth of a course before taking the exams, which is a reason why I don't seem in much shape to take Bio. I studied the Princeton review throughly and my scores are still low. I'd like to think I'm not stupid, but maybe I am haha. Anyway, what suggestions would you have for me?? THANKS!!!!!!</p>

<p>how about math 1? maybe u can score higher in math 1? </p>

<p>also, keep in mind that if u cannot finish the questions, don’t guess. guess only if you can eliminate certain answer choices for the question you are trying to solve.</p>

<p>^ I’m going into Engineering. They require math II. :/</p>

<p>I’m supposedly one of the best math students at my school too… in the highest math class offered… I just was never taught some of this stuff.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m not gonna guess this time unless I have an idea of what it may be.</p>

<p>What about for my other subject test??</p>

<p>Can you try taking Lit again? If you sit through Kaplan + Princeton review thoroughly, maybe there’s a chance you can crack it? I’m an international who’s never had proper english literature education, except I loved reading books, and I moved from around 650 in my diagnostic to an 800 on the real thing? </p>

<p>Otherwise, have you studied any language? And how much time do you have?</p>

<p>Blackroses, I’m in a similar situation. I’m in the most advanced math class my school has to offer but I was never taught a lot of the stuff on this test. It’s pretty basic stuff, you just gotta learn it. I used Barron’s book and the videos on [Just</a> Math Tutoring](<a href=“http://www.justmathtutoring.com%5DJust”>http://www.justmathtutoring.com). Hope that helps</p>
