<p>Hey guys! I'm taking this test along w/ lit and chem in november. I have started on the other two... but what would be a good prep schedule for this kind of thing? like 30 min a day and and hour on weekends? What should be sufficient? I a m familiar with most of the material from april- june area... any advice appreciated!</p>
<p>get a ti-89 and u won't need to study</p>
<p>please elaborate for me... i am not familiar with the ti 89. right now i have a ti 83 plus silver... this is all that my teachers have taught me to use. how could i learn to use a ti 89 in time? what is it about the calculator that enables u to do so much better? help is appreciated bro....</p>
<p>it solves all the trig equations for you which gives you time on a problem that you may not get.... it's called a "built in algebra system" and if you use the ti-89 while taking practice tests you'll know how to use it for the test
there's also the instruction manual if you don't know how to do a certain problem</p>
<p>how much does the ti-89 cost?</p>
<p>how much extra time would you have if you use a ti-64 plus as opposed to using to using a ti-89?</p>
<p>it costs like $140 and it depends how good u are in math... the better u are in math the less time it will save you because you can do the trig very well</p>
<p>so you are saying that the better you are in math, the less you will use the calculator, and thus the less the calculator will help you during the test?</p>
<p>is that right?</p>
<p>ok... i will talk with my calculus teacher to see if he is familiar with it. so do you have an email address that i can hit u up at if i have some specific questions?</p>
<p>the TI-89 Titanium does EVERYTHING....but you have to know how to utilize it not only correctly, but when to use it.</p>
<p>Some Math II questions can't be solved with just the calculator, and are odd questions. Watch out thinking the calc will get you a an 800; it won't.</p>
<p>thx for the heads up w/ the 800 comment...yeah i dont expect the calculator alone to do the test for me... this should help tho <a href="http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4407128%5B/url%5D">http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4407128</a> ... this book should explain when to use the calculator and its limitations, etc. i did take pre calculus too so i will most likely identify something that the calc cant do. thanks for the help guys!!!</p>
<p>ti 83 is more than enough</p>
<p>trust me a ti83/84 is sufficient</p>
<p>do you have to have a lot of knowledge of how to use the calculator in order to take the c2 and do good on it if u use a ti83/84?</p>
<p>I have a TI-85...:(</p>
<p>About the solving trig equations with the TI-89, don't all the other calcs have solver functions as well? Even my old TI-85 has a solver fuction.</p>
<p>by graphing you can use all sorts of equations, TI 89 is hard to learn and not very user friendly</p>
<p>Well, about MATH II Level 2 , i went through two books , PrincetonReview and BARRON. </p>
<p>but i found the approaches of two books totally different.
PR treats us as a child and BARRON's, i found it much difficult, or perhaps its too show-off giving tough questions.
well, i havent taken any tests, but is practice from PR book sufficient ? </p>
<p>Or rather, do subject tests require instinctive mind than meticulous practice ?</p>
<p>I'm using Mcgraw-Hills and Kaplan's..does anyone know if those two are sufficient? I'm really worried that I'll be under-prepped and that the real test will blow me away.</p>
<p>there are a few more things that i am having trouble with on my calculator. If i want an exact answer in decimal form, I have to go to f2, then approx and then 2nd ans. is there a faster way to get a decimal answer? also, the only way i know to take like the 3rd root of something is to go to the root option through the CATALOG!!! is there a faster way? the last one is log. I see the natural log button, but is there a fast way to get to the log base 10 like on the 83 plus? it would be very helpful if you could creat a custom menu or something... thanks</p>
