<p>Yeah I thought it was fairly tough. But there were basically no conics? and no vectors? no matrices? I felt like it was a test on all the stuff that was not in the study books.</p>
<p>Yeah. Good thing there wasn’t any conics, because I didn’t study for it.
And there wasn’t enough algebra! Plus, there was way more trig than I thought there’d be.</p>
<p>Shadow, he said she answered 36, not that she answered all of them. And after struggling on all the Barron practice tests, this one was a breeze in my opinion.</p>
<p>I made so many stupid errors. Plus, out of the 5 I skipped, I know I could have done two of them. Some of them were just really confusing to understand, but easy to solve. For the last problem, when I thought about splitting a cone in half I was thinking about the bottom half. I was like “***? That’s not a cone…”. And then when I left I was like…gawdammit!</p>
<p>also, any hope for 43+ =800?</p>
<p>My dear God, CB, I’m desperate for 800, please save me, Thanks, Thanks,Thanks…</p>
<p>compared to the test from the OFFICIAL blue book of SAT II… the second test was 43 raw score = 800… and that test was a JOKE… CB better make this curve good</p>
<p>One more thing, out of curiousity. Anyone take this Math II for the second or third time? Like was it really bad compared to the other ones or is it normal for all of us to complain after a test? I’m hoping it’s the first but I don’t want to have any false hope.</p>
<p>-sigh- this was my 2nd time and looking at this thread, it doesn’t look like I did too well (rushed –> dumb mistakes). 710 the first time and thought it was much easier then.</p>
<p>how bad does it look taking a Math 2 subject test twice?</p>
<p>What do you think a 2 omitted, -6 would be?</p>
<p>I nailed down the OFFICIAL tests easily with 800 and 20 min early. today I answered all questions but had no time to double check. oh my, I’m praying…</p>
<p>CB will have a new official book next year.</p>
<p>lol at some of these post. im hoping for a 650-750. since i was getting 550-600 on my practice test, which meant that i answered about 20-24 questions with confidence, i feel like i did much better since i answered 35 questions with confidence. i dont need a stinkin 800 haha</p>
<p>Does anyone else here get the feeling that the actual tests are slowly getting harder than the available practice tests (like PR, Barrons, Sparknotes) out there?</p>
<p>Dude, I was constantly getting 780-800 on Sparknotes and PR. Then this damned test came along.</p>
<p>lol yea, me too; from what i’d gathered from previous years and such, there seemed to be a large agreement that sparknotes was extremely close to the real CB math 2 tests, and i got 800 on each of the practice ones, then today i ran outta time and left 3 blank w/t checking any over…</p>
<p>I did the first 25 problems or so within 15 min, then the last half took up the rest of the time…i got 4 800s on practice tests and thought it was pretty hard, hopefully they curve it to -7 = 800, if not -8.</p>
<p>Does anyone recognize the question “xt = yt if and only if…”?</p>
<p>I think the answer choices were:
x=y, t=0, x=y or t=0, x=y=t, and one answer that I don’t remember.</p>
<p>Anyone know the answer?</p>
<p>The answer was if x=y OR if t=0.</p>
<p>Couldn’t be both since it was IFF.</p>
<p>Also, if an 800 = -8, then I will love college board for eternity.</p>
<p>

<p>This test felt to me as one of the easiest ones in the last few years (I take several every year for professional purposes). I am probably getting better at them, but I am trying to judge objectively here. There were no oddball/olympiad type questions this time,
no:
conics, matrices, systems of equations, standard deviation, stem and leaf/boxes and whiskers and the like diagrams, log/exponential equations/inequalities, law of sines, cos theorem (one related question was a joke), vectors, complex numbers, polar coordinates, difficult composite functions, inverse functions, limits, mixed median/mode/mean, recursive sequences…</p>
<p>I still think SparkNotes tests are the closest to the real thing, annoying typos notwithstanding (which SAT Math prep book does not have them?).</p>
