<p>is there a way to get a copy of the test in math 2c for oct? im taking them in november and i wanna see the latest exam they gave out.</p>
<p>also does any have any advice how to study for math 2c or chem sat 2. i took them already but i want to take them again</p>
<p>College Board does not publish any previous exams.</p>
<p>Barrons is good for Math IIC and there are heaps of practice tests in the book. Its harder than the real thing, but means that on the day you can just breeze thru and get 800 if you are doing OK on the Barron's sample tests.</p>
<p>I'm using Barrons for Chem too, as well as Sparknotes: <a href="http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/sat2/%5B/url%5D">http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/sat2/</a>.</p>
<p>bjc, the actual tests from barrons' is really hard for me.. and a lot that i don't really know... would it be okay if i read the questions (exercises) than the practice tests?</p>
<p>Well you can certainly look at the exercises (you mean the ones they have at the end of each chapter?) but I think they are ususally different from the sort of questions you get on the exam - I found that they ask for more calculations, because you have plenty of time and they are testing the concepts they just taught you. On the practice exams they have more realisitic questions with less calculating to do.
But for sure, study the chapters if you need to brush up on some concepts!</p>
<p>I would advise that you do as well as you can on the practice tests, but don't get too discouraged - they are much harder than the real exam.</p>
<p>well.. the thing is my friend who took it already said that the practice tests in barrons is way to hard to be even compared to the sat iic, and that i should just brush up on pre-calc stuff... i'm really discouraged every time i take them cus i either get 1/2 or 2/3 of the stuff right :( - are the questions from real sat iic similar to the ones of the practice tests from barrons? :) thanks</p>
<p>If you can get 2/3 of the Barron's test right then you are doing great! When I was preparing the best I ever got on the Barrons tests was a raw score of 39. Now, thats about ten wrong (because there is the penalty too). Most of the time I didn't get that high a score - maybe 36 or 37. And on the real thing I got 800.</p>
<p>So I would say that even if you only got a raw score of 25 or 30 on the Barrons tests, you will do quite well on the real exam, because of the generous scale.</p>
<p>Sorry, I can't really compare the subject matter on the practice tests - it was quite a few months ago now. Have a careful look at the 20 or so sample questions in the College Board book; they should give you an idea of what to expect on the real thing. You can get them off the CB site too.</p>
<p>If you are OK at pre calc you should be fine - you dont need calculus at all! Any other questions, just ask away.</p>
<p>thanks alot.. i was wondering, are problems concerning parmeter, vectors, and logic on the actual test? :)</p>
<p>Not so far as a remember... certainly not logic. Of course I've only done one real test.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what you mean by 'parmeter'</p>
<p>parametric?</p>
<p>o yea... I hate Parametric questions... are they on it?</p>
<p>how bout chem is barrons good enough</p>
<p>how bout chem is sparknotes good enough</p>
<p>Sparknotes is ok but I found that it had a lot of errors. I would go with Barrons or Princeton Review.</p>
<p>i dont know how to study thoug h i did well on the ap last yr i got a 4 but i did really crappy on the sat 2 i got a 660. i have princeton review but i never do well with princeton review for some reason</p>
<p>No, there is no parametric stuff on Math IIC.</p>
<p>I've found Sparknotes pretty error-free but then I only use it for checking against Barron's. Barron's has errors too, in all their books, but it seems the Chem one is not so bad.</p>
<p>Although the Subject Tests are not released regularly like the SATs, there are at least some tests. The CB publishes the Real SAT IIs that has 1 copy of virtually every exam. The U of Texas also has a second Math 2 and Math 1 exam available for prospective applicants (you just need to register).</p>
<p>The CB site also has sample problems available for each of the exams. The Barron's questions are just way to hard. Try McGraw Hill or Russ Meylani.</p>
<p>My apologees for my previous post (#16). The College Board subject test guide says that parametric equation ARE included in the Math IIC test... I just didn't get any on my test.</p>
