<p>I just took a practice test for SAT Math II in my Barron's prep book, and I only got a 650. I got 31 right, 8 wrong and 11 omitted. So according to the equation (which was in the book by the way) : </p>
<p>Score = 800 - 44(10 - Raw Score)</p>
<p>It comes out as 650. I don't think that's completely accurate but it should be around my range. Also I took an extra 10 minutes to complete the test (so 70 minutes total) and I was lucky and got a few of the questions that I guessed on correct. </p>
<p>I heard that Barron's is harder than the standard College Board subject tests though. By how much is it harder by? And if I get a 650 (might want to round that down to 600 because of the extra time and luckiness), what would be my score when I take Math II in June?</p>
<p>Barron’s is very unrealistic. it is best not to score yourself for those practice tests; just take them for objective practice and thats it. then try the math II test in the blue book (from what i know, there is an official sat study guide for all SAT IIs with only like 1 test per subject and there is a specific blue book for math I and math II) and see how you do. if you are confident in your math abilities, then you should instinctively know you will score well on the exam. a lot of it is knowledge accumulated from your math classes leading up to trigonometry. there is a lot of trig and algebra. generally, you can get 6 wrong out of 50 and still get an 800 on the real exam.</p>
<p>i used only barron’s when studying for the math II. it covered a few topics i did not see on the real exam (like matrices), which i did not bother to learn. i got an 800 on the real exam and was surprised how easy it was, but that can be accounted for by my math ability, not how i studied, so i cant really give much information about that, but i can say that barron’s is not accurate.</p>
<p>Yeah Barron’s harder than norm and sometimes cover irrelevant topics. I’m going to estimate that your actual score will range from 650-720. But if you study hard, you can still get an 800. :)</p>
<p>The thing is, the questions are VERY time consuming, so don’t take an extra 10 minutes when practicing. The first time I took it, I skipped about 10 and got maybe 5 wrong and got a 670. The second time I took it, I still ended up skipping about 5, and maybe 2-3 wrong again and got a 740.</p>
<p>Moral of the story, the test is LONG, and don’t skip around too much, it gets increasingly difficult if I’m remembering correctly. So make sure you practice under the right conditions.</p>
<p>The Math II scale is pretty tough based on raw score compared to the very generous World History one haha. However, I was only in the 73rd Percentile and still got a 740, so it can be hard to predict</p>
