<p>Would an A calc student be able to prepare for MAth IIC in 15 days?</p>
<p>I would think so...</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely. Theres really not much to prepare for...you either know how to do it or you don't.</p>
<p>an A in calc won't really help you if you don't remember your algebra and trig. My friend took it today and bombed it because he didn't prepare at all and didn't remember a single trig topic</p>
<p>Strangely enough, I find IIC harder than calculus. Actually, I'm sure a lot of people feel this way. Basically, I recommend using Barron's to review all the topics (don't place too much emphasis on vectors, polar, De Moivre's theorem, logic, probability, etc.) and take practice tests from the blue book. It's not too hard to do well (750+), but I find getting an 800 highly elusive. A lot of people get 800s though, so maybe it's just me.</p>
<p>15 days is plenty of time. If you're calc, just look at the precalculus review chapters in your textbook.</p>
<p>Yea, use barron's. The book is way harder than the real test but it makes the real test easier as time goes on. Dont worry when you first take the test in Barron's because its more challenging then other books. Its worth the challege.</p>
<p>Calculus is easier [for me] than Math IIC stuff. Don't ask me why.
It was easier at the time I was actually in the course.</p>
<p>Math IIC is terribly easy!! Don't worry at all. I took the test today and had no problem!!!</p>
<p>I think you should be fine. Just prep with Barrons for it and it'll be a breeze. I was in the same situation (in calc) and just reviewed for about a week before the test and I think I did well.</p>
<p>i dont think you need to prep like you would for the sat I. the only thing you need to do is refresh yourself on precal topics the night before. IF you had a strong precal and alg II background.</p>
<p>suprisingly, i agree that the math IIc is harder than any calc stuff that I have done, other than maybe sequences and series and other specific BC topics...i used the barrons beforehand, and I ripped that test up. It was way easier than the Barron's practice tests. Good lUck</p>
<p>i used the barron's book to prepare. i did most of the exercises and 3 or 4 practice tests in like a week and got an 800. the day before, i spent an hour or two memorizing formulas. and i think that was really helpful becuase i didnt waste time trying to derive the formulas on the test or use my calculator to give them to me. a word of advice-make sure you KNOW how to use your graphing calculator and it would be adviseable that u put a couple iic programs in there. i cannot emphasize this any more because my calc bailed me out a couple times on the december test. just work fast on the first half of the test (usually easy stuff). and yes, im currently in calc BC.</p>
<p>I didn't think it was HARD; unfortunately, if I had more time, I might have gotten a lot more done.</p>
<p>I usually finish tests, but I ended up with nine or so questions undone. :</p>
<p>i'm in pre-cal and i studied like 5 hours in total.
and i think i got 800 (so far, skipped 1, missed 1)</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. You know more than enough to do well on the exam. </p>
<p>I took a few practice exams (from Barron's and CB - both editions) over three days. Try not to use rely on the calculator as much; you actually save time that way.</p>
