May 7th SAT Math IIC

<p>So what did you guys think? </p>

<p>I didn't think it was that bad.. I only skipped two problems and usually I skip over ten, but that's just because I used Barron's.</p>

<p>I didn't think it was that bad, i only skipped two. The one vector question threw me off though.</p>

<p>I didn't learn anything about vectors in any of my math classes, but I knew how to do it because we learned it in physics!</p>

<p>skipped 2...
the one with the xyz plane relecting a point thing...
and then the last one.</p>

<p>but otherwise i thought it was pretty straightfoward. =D</p>

<p>The vector one I tried to do - but I totally forgot to do pythagorem's theorm on the X and Y components, and circled the answer closest to the Y component. =(</p>

<p>I put A though, i believe.</p>

<p>I figured out how to do the last one at the very end, and then the time was up, so I didn't put an answer.</p>

<p>I didn't get the xyz reflection thing either, but I made a guess... I just made x and y negative.</p>

<p>Oh it gave you the point (1,2,-3) and it said this point is reflected over the x and y axis, or something?</p>

<p>I put (1,2,3) i think.</p>

<p>Anyone know how to do the Circle with radius 'm' and is an angle of 2 radians, what was the relationship to m? or something like that?</p>

<p>LoJT, it's...</p>

<p>s = (theta)(r)
s is the length of the arc
theta is the angle in radians
and r is the length of the radius</p>

<p>So the answer's 2pi(m)?</p>

<p>For those who took it, which review book did you use and do you think it adequately prepared you?</p>

<p>I went between SparkNotes <a href="bought">Just Tests!, it was just like 6 tests</a>, Princeton Review SAT Math (got from the library), and Barron's 5th edition Math2c (found this lying around)</p>

<p>Scoring: 1-10, 10 being the hardest.
Actual May 7th SAT2 Math2c: a 7</p>

<p>SparkNotes - is fairly easy, it gave me an idea of what topics i needed to look up and really understand better, overall the tests are around a [5/5.5]</p>

<p>Princeton Review - I only got to take 3/4 of a test, and thats it from this book, from what i got, it's pretty decent, maybe a little harder than the actual. [7.3 or so]</p>

<p>Barron's - I tried doing, got a 25 "highest on the 'average' scale for them" and it discouraged me big time. Everytime i took it i felt like an idiot, and I consider myself pretty decent at mathematics. [diff level: 10]</p>

<p>Overall: Sparknotes gave me confidence, and really pointed out some ideas i needed to look up, princeton review was a good on-par practice.</p>

<p>LoJT: I think I remember getting 2m for that... no pi.</p>

<p>odan: I used Barrons, which was very tough, a lot of the math in the Barrons was so high level it didn't even show up on the actual test... while that was annoying in that I learned a lot of stuff that wasn't even on the test, i felt really good taking the test and knowing almost everything there... hell, it's better than having an easy review book and getting screwed over on the test.</p>

<p>I took all 9 tests in Barron's and my scores ranged from 620-680 (I used the scaled scores from Sparknotes' charts), and I averaged 650. Majorly discouraging but today I felt so confident during the test because it's ten times easier than Barron's!</p>

<p>oh and I got 2m as well... there wasn't any pi in the equation.</p>

<p>Yeah my scores ranged from 630-720 when using the Barrons, the test definitely was 10 times easier.</p>

<p>So if I cover everything in Barron's, I should do OK, right?</p>

<p>powerabe, if you can master Barron's, you'll be more than just ok. You don't even have to really do the whole book.</p>

<p>If you skip 4 questions and miss another 6, what is your score?</p>

<p>If you skip 4 questions and miss an additional 4, what is your score?</p>

<p>Is there a place online with this information?</p>

<p>I skipped 3, and I can't think of any others that I wasn't absolutely positive on...I was kind've worried too, I hadn't done any prep for it.</p>

<p>god, the last question was a pain in the ass.</p>

<p>it had to do with k, and arcsin (or something).
how did u do that?</p>
