<p>hi guys
i'm taking math level 2 in may, and i've only taken up to algebra 2 in math, and i didnt take a math this year, i have the REA math level 2 book, any suggestions in how i can prepare myself? i've read a few pages in, and i'm already lost</p>

2

<p>Post your questions here. And we will help.</p>

3

<p>i dont understand cos sin and all that stuff, i have no precal experience</p>

4

<p>sin would be opposite/hypotenuse
cos - adjacent/hypotenuse
tan - opp/adj</p>

<p>csc - hyp/opp
sec - hyp/adj
cot - adj/opp</p>

<p>i recommend you ask your teacher teach you the basic about precal, because you will need to learn alot of stuff and i doubt you have the time to learn a whole course in a matter of a month without serious help.</p>

5

<p>perhaps you should just take Math level 1 (not that you can't succeed in Math II, but it would be much easier for you to do Math I...and less stressful).</p>

<p>Good luck...</p>

6

<p>uc's want math level 2 right?</p>

7

<p>apparently not if you're going into humanities. </p>

<p>yes if you want to be an engineer/doctor/business person.</p>

8

<p>can i apply for that major, then switch after freshmen?</p>

9

<p>It's really hard to switch into engineering from a non-engineering major. And I'm not sure if they accept the math 1 exam. I don't think they do, but you should double check.</p>

<p>do you know about the unit circle and radians?</p>

If this is the level you're at, you may want to reconsider taking math 2. I doubt you'll be able to learn it well enough by May.</p>

11

<p>am i still able to switch? i already signed up for it</p>

12

<p>yeah you can change at the testing center</p>

13

<p>so humanities doesnt require math 2 for uc's? i'm confused</p>

14

<p>UC</a> Notes - March 2005 - testing</p>

<p>some info on SAT II, check it out, gives specific SAT II requirements for the type of degree.</p>

Two SAT Subject Tests.
These must be in two different areas, chosen from the following: English, history and social studies, mathematics (Level 2 only), science or language other than English.

<p>Math 1 doesn't matter for the UC's</p>
