Math Level 1 and 2 Subjects tests - What to do to get 800?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I will give both of these papers in January.</p>

<p>I know that math level 1 is considered not good, but since I am travelling half way round the country to give the test I feel that I should have a go at it anyway.</p>

<p>As for books are concerned, I have last years edition of Barrons and Princeton Review edition of both subject tests, well the all in one for TPR but you get the gist.</p>

<p>I do Maths and Further Maths A Level as well.</p>

<p>Are there any other books I need to get to get an 800 and what should I be doing to get 800 in both?</p>

<p>I will probably allocate 6 hours a week to the subject tests.</p>

<p>Is there any other material I need to get.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Regards</p>

<p>Nate</p>

<p>I’d suggest the official guide in mathematics 1 and 2 for the previously administered practice tests.</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Official-Subject-Tests-Mathematics-Levels/dp/0874477727/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415503770&sr=8-1&keywords=official+guide+to+math+subject+tests”>http://www.amazon.com/Official-Subject-Tests-Mathematics-Levels/dp/0874477727/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415503770&sr=8-1&keywords=official+guide+to+math+subject+tests&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I improved my SAT Math Level II score from a 720 to a 800 in less then three weeks. Initially, I was studying the prep books, but I quickly realized that was the wrong approach. Do textbooks! Borrow math textbooks from your school’s library/bookstore and do all of the chapters that you are weak at. </p>

<p>Hey guys, sorry for the late reply would you say it is essential to purchse the official subjects tests and/or chungs/kaplan?</p>

<p>Is barrons level 2 10th edition enough.</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>@ypmagic Since I will be travelling 4 hours to the centre I would prefer to do both.
Thank you for the suggestions PR guide is easy and barrons is hard I have found.</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>And good luck to you too!</p>

<p>Even though you’re traveling far to take the subject tests, I also suggest picking one or the other. Taking both is a waste of time/money, and some math/engineering schools require a math and a science test, for example.</p>

<p>@ypmagic @MITer94 I know that this holds true. But still I would like to give it a go and see if math level 1 is as easy as everyone on CC makes out it is :smile: </p>

<p>Math level 2 prep going decent need to learn the hyperbola and bits of the function work and the continuous functions and then practice practice practice until January 24!</p>

<p>Can I ask you, I am in year 13 or how you would say a senior in US, as far as the US tests go I will do math level 1 and 2 in Jan. Then SAT reasoning test in May.</p>

<p>Then if I took the year off after that, I would probably do the ACT in september leaving summer to prep for it and then would I be able to give any tests for consideration, i.e. do any subject tests in october and november that unis would be able to see.</p>

<p>Already paid for the Jan exams yesterday was the deadline! </p>

<p>I would probably take eng, phy, chem. </p>

<p>Are you guys seniors?</p>

@fnaticMSiNate‌ Buy Kaplans, and if you still need practice than get Barrons. Don’t worry about the official practice tests. If you can get a 790 - 800 on Kaplans, then you are basically guaranteed an 800 on the official one.

Thanks for the reply, would you believe I have every prep book apart from kaplans.

Anything you would recommend I do now for Saturday?

Thanks Nate!
