<p>The Barron's book said that they did not cover it, but it was unclear to me whether this meant that the BOOK didn't cover or that the test itself didn't include it. Can anyone offer some insight?</p>
<p>I definitely did not remember DeMoivre's Theorem being on the SAT II...That's pretty advanced polar coordinate stuff for the SAT II.</p>
<p>heck no
barron's is trying to overprep you unnecessarily</p>
<p>The only thing you need to know about polar/rectangular coordinates is how to convert one to the other.</p>
<p>X: r(cos theta)
Y: r(sin theta)</p>
<p>I've never heard of that, and I got an 800, so I guess not.</p>
<p>It could be, but I doubt it. Barrons likes to overprep, and its certainly not a bad thing if you're aiming for a very high score. At most, you're going to get 2 problems on polar coordinates/complex numbers, but even thats not likely. You're more likely to get something in post #4 in this thread, but even for that, you don't need to know the formulas, you could simply use your calculator (or graphing calculator (TI-89 is the best!) which is preferred) to do it quickly.</p>
<p>yeah, I didn't have to learn anything.
It was funny how I can't help my brother with his SAT II because I forgot everything I crammed down.</p>
