Math II Difficulty?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I read threads saying how Barrons and Rush was harder, but I've been scoring anywhere from 650-750 on these tests. </p>

<p>Today, I took a cb test from the offical math guide and got an 800. I'm just confused. Is the actual test that much more easier than barrons and rush? Cause I didn't see any questions on limits, complex matricies, etc.. on the actual one I took. Do these topics appear on the actual test? I haven't learned some of the topics Rush and Barrons test. Will this be a problem??</p>

<p>its a joke.</p>

3

<p>The difference between taking a RUSH and a CB exam is like the difference between being run over by a tank and being slapped in the face.</p>

4

<p>^ lol! I will definitely remember that one :P</p>

5

<p>The board tests are MUCH easier than barrons. I scored 30-35 on barrons and got a 800 on the real thing. The difference is ridiculous.</p>

6

<p>How hard are PR tests compared to the real thing?</p>

7

<p>it's barely harder.
almost the same in my opinion.</p>

8

<p>So..</p>

<p>collegeboard = accurate
PR = accurate
Barrons = hard
Rush = extremely hard (crushed by tanks. lol)</p>

9

<p>^ wait ari...30-35 raw score or scaled score? and also how are sparknotes tests compared to the real thing? and woah u serious? *** is rush lol i've never hard of anything harder than barrons</p>

10

<p>How hard is it to learn all the formulas for math II? I scanned over the Barron's diagnostic test today and I knew how to do half of them.</p>

11

<p>Rush is basically all the "hard" questions on a test.
whats why it's considered hard.</p>

<p>Sparknotes has VERY weird test results for me.
i've gotten 720 and 800 on back to back testing respectively.
thats a difference of about ~12 raw points for me.</p>

12

<p>wait is it ok to use programs on the sat? cuz i have many of them (makes some of the questions hella quicker)...ive never seen proctors check calculators tho</p>

13

<p>I would assume its okay to use programs..I mean if they say we are allowed to use ti-84's and ti-89's they should be aware of the capabilities. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense....</p>

14

<p>I'm using Barron's, and it's driving me insane. I looked up a solution and got, "Use this program we provided on page whatever." I was like...</p>

<p>Oh, I'm so screwed. I took pre-calc last year, and I no longer remember anything about matrices, probability, vectors, polar coordinates, or conics.</p>

15

<p>If you can get a 700 on the Barron's Math IIC Practice Tests, then is it possible to get an 800 on the real thing?</p>

16

<p>Absolutely, ballin4ever. Barron's is A LOT harder than the real thing...</p>

17

<p>BUMP!!! 10 char</p>

18

<p>what are some of the more obscure topics that are definitely tested on the real thing?
i know for sure some of them include matrices, standard deviation</p>

19

<p>^voodoo_santa
Scaled Score. Also I only know about Barron's, not sparknotes. Sorry.</p>

20

<p>Sparknotes is very unpredictable..
i got a 720 and 800 on two consecutive tests.</p>
