Math IIC without Calc?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>I'm in a dillemma and need a little insight. I know topics on Calculus aren't dealt with on the Math IIC but the Level 2 test is significantly harder than the Level 1. In the past, I took the Level 1 test without even taking Trigonometry and didn't do too well on it. Upon completing the Trig/PreCalc course, I looked over the PR study guide for the Level 1 test and found it EXTREMELY easy. </p>

<p>My question is is it advisable to take the Math IIC without taking Calculus, should I take the Math IC seeing as I know I can do much much better than I did last time or should I take both Math IC and Math IIC. Naturally, Math has always been a subject that comes easily to me and have proven this by earning "As" in every Math class I've ever taken. This is to say that I can get a decent score on the Math IIC if I study my a$$ off over the summer but I'd like to know if taking the test is easier for someone who has already taken Calculus. </p>

<p>Also, has anyone taken the Math IIC test without taking Calculus. If yes, how well did you do on it?</p>

<p>Im in 11th grade in pre calc and I thought the test today was fairly easy. It is definately easier than math 1c in my opinion cuz of the curve.</p>

<p>yeah, like i think a 33 out of 50 is a 700, or almost at least.
If you did pre calc ur all set.
At my school, if ur in regular pre calc than u might have trouble a little. If yr in honors pre calc (which i am) then it seems pretty easy</p>

<p>I took calculus this past year as a soph and i actually think it was a mistake for me not to take it after freshman year..i would actually advise you to take it right after precal since everything is fresh..i forgot alot of material.</p>

<p>Yes, at math II. Calc won't really help you at all.</p>

<p>edit: take* math II</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice.</p>

8

<p>i took math IIC without pre calc i got a 570, im going to retake it this year after precalc</p>

<p>i just finished trig and i took math II last week and i didn't find it to really be the hard</p>

<p>you need precalc, but not really calc</p>

11

<p>taking precalc and giving the exam was a great help to me</p>

<p>The math teachers at my school all rec taking the Math IIC <em>before</em> taking calculus--if you've got a strong foundation on the precalc, you'll be fine. Learning the calc and then going back to take the test only complicates things.</p>
