<p>Is Math IIC difficult to study on your own? I am pretty handy when it comes to using a calculator, and learning things on my own. Is junior year to early to take this?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>What math are you currently taking? Don't say "regents", "regular", "honors", or "college prep II", because I have no idea what that means.</p></li>
<li><p>Are you a junior?</p></li>
<li><p>Get Barron"s Math II book and the actual test will be a piece of cake.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I'll copy your fomat!
1)I am taking honors algebra II, next year I will be taking honors analysis and trig (haha I when people answer "regular" or "AP" or "honors").</p>
<p>2) I am a sophomore. Next year I will be a junior. But I'm pretty redic with calculator programs (...something not to broadcast maybe?? oh well its CC!) and I heard you can make whatever ones you want to for this test... </p>
<p>3) Oooh I will....</p>
<p>EDIT: our junior year class is also a precalc class.. so I guess I will take it end of Jr. year</p>
<p>It goes through Pre-Calc, so there might be some stuff a bit beyond what you kinow.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The best time in my opinion is right after you finish pre-calculus (called trig in your case). So June would be the best date (I took it in June after precalc).</p></li>
<li><p>Just take it in June so you won't have to self-study anything.</p></li>
<li><p>Heh, I made tons of programs for it as well but I hardly used any. I would suggest: distance from line to a point(barron's explains how to do this), distance formula (do both 2D and 3D), a program to graph ellipses, circles, and hyperbolas, quadratic formula, finding the norm and unit vector for a 3D or 2D vector, and angle between 2 lines given their slope.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Hahah, I already have 4 of those programs. For some reason in geometry my freshman year we learned SO many calculator programs for all of the formulas/graphing. So convenient!! Were you happy with your scores afruff?</p>
<p>I took it just yesterday, but I think i got an 800 (3 omit, 1 wrong).</p>
<p>ooh thank you. This is probably a stupid question, and I am assuming the answer is yes, but you are allowed to use programs you don't make yourself right (I still like to make them myself because I understand/know they are right).</p>
<p>Yes, you are allowed to. If I were you just, check the code. If you're wonderign how I made this program, then here's how:</p>
<p>ellipse form:</p>
<p>((X-H)^2/A^2) + ((Y-K)^2/B^2)=1</p>
<p>Now, solve for y. You should get to a point where you have to sqrt both sides. This is where you do the +/- to find the 2 parts to the graph.</p>
<p>Would you do the same thing to find the graph of the circle? The equation is (as you know I'm guessing (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, so you just solve for Y which gets you a radical so +/- so its a full circle not a semicircle?</p>
<p>I use the same program for circles and ellipses. For a circle I just plug in 1 for A and 1 for B.</p>
<p>Oh, of course. That makes so much sense.</p>
