<p>According to PR, 7 omitted (43 raw) is a perfect score. Didn't say if the curve changed from year to year, but then again, I didn't really read the whole review book (just did the practices...). That means if you get 2 wrong and omit 5 you get an 800. Any more wrong/omitted and you're not getting an 800. Simple as that.</p>
<p>hahaaa... i only answered 37 of the 50.. and im sure i got plenty of them wrong.. Maybe this test was only hard for me though. I suppose life isnt all about math?</p>
<p>Well, if we don't get a good enough curve we could always send Sanouske to go do a Futai no Kiwami on the collegeboard statisticians.</p>
<p>ahh okay so i took the math 2c in june and gotta 790. then my very anal dad made me retake it. urgh so getting <790 would look veryvery bad.</p>
<p>so far i know i've skipped 3-4 and got 0 wrong (i THINK but theres probably a couple i got wrong somehwere in there..)</p>
<p>:( should i cancel?</p>
<p>oh my gosh my dad would be happy if i even got that score.. but everyone's different!!! :)</p>
<p>i dont think my dad knows what the SAT IIs are.. hell, i dont think he ever took the regular ones.. oh well.</p>
<p>same here .. my dad would make me retake too lol .... parents...</p>
<p>Hey on the plane question I put point and line as well. But I couldn't figure otu why the heck I put point...</p>
<p>the x y and z axes come together to form a point.</p>
<p>my teacher confirmed 8/11</p>
<p>Hi all!</p>
<p>Since we're all talking about Math IIC here, can anyone offer any valuable tips / suggestions for those who will be taking it in November? Is Baron the ideal prep book to use? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>barrons+ meylani...
overprepares you, but ideally if you are not good in math</p>
<p>try princeton too.. its alyws better to work on each subject porperly and then go on to crackin the pprs..</p>
<p>Barrons = for suicidial people. Just FYI.</p>
<p>...I have Barron's.</p>
<p>My friend and I used Barron's and got nothing useful out of it for this test. We mainly wanted to work on triangle shizznit and then we learned binomial theorem and some other stuff. None of it was on the test. One of our other friends who hadn't taken stat learned how permutations and combinations worked...or rather how to do them on his calculator lol. Then he got the problem right without knowing what he was doing and I didn't because I suck and use permutations when you need combinations haha .Also the Barron's practice is nothing like the real thing.
Some of the stuff in the book was cool to learn...but not much use for this test in terms of accuracy.
P.S. Moni, were u in a post about race and college admissions where sum1 named UndagroundConducta posted?</p>
<p>So what's in Barron's that's useful then? Before, I got responses where many people rated Barron's as number one. What should I focus or not focus on to save my time? Thank you!</p>
<p>Hmmm...well it depends on how much math you know. A lot of the more basic stuff is on there, but Barron's also has a lot of concepts which I didn't see any use for at all. The thing is, most of the useful stuff in the book has already been taught in math classes. The last chapter has some things which could be useful for you. The stuff on combinations and permutations is useful if you haven't taken stat. Also, my friend told me that the uses of a calculator section helped him a lot. Most of the other stuff in the test should have been covered in your algebra,geometry, and trig classes though. I guess review whatever you're not 100% confident on. Oh, also I would suggest trying to work on your speed in doing the problems. I started off about 10 minutes over time and managed to work my time down to where I could finish the test in time. This gave me an edge during the test; a lot of people got pressed for time and only finished 40-45 problems. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Thanks ccmbr002! :)</p>
<p>barrons rock, between PR and barrron, I thought barron had alot more interesting questions per test.</p>
