<p>Hey guys :)</p>
<p>So I've only taken Alg II, but my friends are all urging me to take the Math II SAT this year because the trig on the subject test is "simple".</p>
<p>Would anyone recommend this? The only trigonometry I know is SOHCAHTOA :/</p>
<p>Try some practice tests and see how you do. You can try learning the additional material through Sparknotes for free.</p>
<p>I’m afraid Math II covers more than just SOHCAHTOA. You have to know the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines, and the graphs of trig functions.
And Math II also covers topics like limits, sequences, vectors, matrices, coordinate geometry, and 3D geometry. Not too advanced, but not too easy either. You can certainly learn them thru review books.
Oh, and they will only give 1 or 2 questions on vectors and matrices, if at all.</p>
<p>Thanks silverturtle and Krazy for your replies 
They were both very helpful.</p>
<p>My friend lent me all her Math II study guides (…she literally bought one from every prep company out there). Would it be feasible for me to learn the Law of Sines/Cosines and other trig material before June 5th?</p>
<p>Can the trig material on the Math II be easily learned?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you are mathematically inclined, I think so. The material on the test is, in all honesty, not very difficult.</p>
<p>Before June 5th, definitely. There is a good amount of pre-cal and trig, though, so just go through a review book and make sure you learn all of it. I would ask a Pre-Cal teacher to go over some of the material if you have any difficulty learning the new concepts. A majority of the stuff is from Algebra 2 though.</p>
<p>Wait until you finish precalc. It features polar stuff and advanced trig. Just for comparison…
I took a Math II practice test (Official CB One) after 9th grade after I finished Algebra 2, and I got a 630. I just took a practice test today, (Another Official CB One) after almost completing precalc honors, and I got an 800.</p>

<p>Go there and watch the videos on limits, law of sines/cosines, sequences, etc. He won’t cover everything, but he’ll cover enough to get your started and give you a good feel for the material. Then, find practice problems in your practice books that are appropriate and start practicing. </p>
<p>Hopefully this will be an effective method for you. If not, try something else and see if it works any better.</p>
