<p>I am taking BC Calculus right now and am studying from Barron's, REA, and Meylani. So far, I've heard that Barron's is the best guide so I'm looking over it. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if polar graphs, rcis, or natural log are on this test? What topics are covered extensively/loosely? Also, I've heard that the first 25-35 Qs on Barron's = the whole SAT IIC. I know it may be subjective to people with varying skill levels, but how true is this generally? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>i think barron goes into too much detail in the review, but their practice tests should be similar to the actualy test</p>
<p>oh really? people have saying that barron's prep book is much harder than the actual test...i dont know what to believe..</p>
<p>Me neither! That's why I'm asking. If anyone else could help, I'd really appreciate it.</p>
<p>barron's is harder</p>
<p>I used the Sparknotes practice book and the McGraw Hill and got a 790. Sparknotes seems to be an excellent choice, while McGraw Hill has more tests, it's more error prone</p>
<p>11E math should have been plenty of preparation.</p>
<p>Hey Mr. Spam,</p>
<p>What score did you get in the sparknotes practice test? Was it around 790 too?</p>
<p>THanks</p>
<p>11E was like half a year ago....and I don't think BC Calc will help that much because it's way too advanced for the test. Although it did help me on a Barron's Q about tangents and derivatives.</p>
<p>Also, can someone answer my original questions posed? To what extent are "polar graphs, rcis, or natural log are on this test? What topics are covered extensively/loosely?"</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I've taken four practice tests so far from 2 different books, McGraw-Hill and Kaplan, and I haven't seen anything about polar or rcis...I have seen more than one question on each test about natural log though.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would look over polar and rcis just in case they show up but they're both pretty easy...the natural log seems to be something that pops up on every test though so definitely review that. </p>
<p>I'm trying to do Math IIC in a week too! Here's to procrastination, cramming, and hopefully 800s. Good luck!</p>
<p>barrons review is so extensive and some of the explanations are pretty confusing. The tests are good to over prepare you but it'd definately help if you can have a tutor or someone help you with the problems in the book. The book shows the work for how they answer problems but its still like "whered the hell they get that from." Or I am just dumb.</p>
