<p>i'm taking it and i'm pretty nervous...</p>
<p>to echo another poster, how difficult <em>are</em> the pr tests compared to the actual one?</p>
<p>Im using Barrons...... Its really hard can I trust it? Also, I hear there are matrices on math sat IIC but I dont see it in barron's book. Is there another book i should get?</p>
<p>I know what you mean...How are you preparing?</p>
<p>I'm taking it. I'm using Barron's as well.</p>
<p>NCguy, well... I am making sure I can use my TI-89 very well. I have a practice Math IIC test from the collegeboard, and it's not that hard...</p>
<p>I am hoping for a 700+ (being realistic). I doubt it'll be an 800. I am in the "calculus" mindset.</p>
<p>If it's as easy as people say it is here, then I might feel confident.</p>
<p>Some people here say it is really a "how to use your calculator test"</p>
<p>i thought the Maths IIC would be easy but after doing barrons, it's not...due to the time limit</p>
<p>im taking it in oct also... up till this weekend i thought it would be easy also... but after taking a barron's practice test and a couple of sparknotes tests (none of which i got 800s on), im starting to second guess the "easiness."</p>
<p>-_-</p>
<p>on the barron book, they don't actually give you a scaled score. It just says 41-50 excellent, 33-41 very good, and so on. So how do you know what your score is in terms of the SAT 200-800 scale?</p>
<p>Eh, screw it. Like an SAT II can get you knocked out of a college.</p>
<p>Prep like mad, then take the practice test in Real SAT Subject Tests (the OTHER blue book from CB). It's real, so... I'm guessing it's accurate.</p>
<p>listen, if you get a 750+2c, phy, and chem with good grades and good ECA, can u get say, princeton or yale? i'm worried about the 2c as i'm doing really badly on the pr tests (690 both, 31/50)</p>
<p>I did Barrons and it's really hard. I get about a 650 on each, but then I took the College Board test, the only sample one I have, and I got a 780. So yeah, Barrons is really hard, if you can get a 650 or up on their tests, you're in great shape.</p>
<p>do u need precal + cal to take this?</p>

<p>Same with me! I thought the real Math IIC test was pretty easy, I just made stupid mistakes (as in not reading the whole question lol). Barrons is, IMO, just ridiculously hard. I guess it has helped a bit, though.</p>
<p>bill_smear...what exactly is a 650 on the barrons? The scale given after each test in the Barron's book is simply Excellent, Above Average, etc. Thanks.</p>
<p>whered u get collegeboard test from</p>
<p>3 questions:
first i have taken practice tests out of the "sparknotes 5 extra tests" and got 700+s. is that accurate for the real test?</p>
<p>second, which is harder, PR or sparknotes.?</p>
<p>third, when i registered for nov. test online, did i have to send my scores to the schools i am applying to (uc's and cal states)?</p>
<p>anyone prepped SAT II match IIC using the sparknotes tests?</p>
