<p>SO here is my situation: I just took precalculus this sophomore year and didn't take the SAT II Math II test. I'm going to be in AP Calc AB this year as a junior and I don't really remember the precalc topics that well right now. Has anyone else been in this situation? I feel stressed out now.</p>
<p>I took Honors Precalculus as a freshman and Calculus BC as a sophomore. I waited until June of my sophomore year to take the Math II exam. Honestly, I felt that taking calculus made the exam easier (I was able to apply volume of a solid of rotation to a problem, and the TI-84 and TI-89 calculator skills I got from my calculus class really helped).</p>
<p>Don’t stress about the exam. It really isn’t that difficult.</p>
<p>I’m stressing because I’m going to have to re-learn everything, which is going to make the test harder…right?</p>
<p>Like 3.1415926, I took the Math II exam in June of the same year as BC Calc. I skimmed a few practice tests and went over a couple of terms that I forgot (like least common multiple) and did fine on the real thing. Honestly if you’re good at math you don’t really have to worry too much about forgetting how to do stuff on the Math II exam, because you won’t forget how to do the vast majority of it. You probably won’t forget for a long while.</p>
<p>is anyone else in the same situation</p>
<p>I am in the same position you are</p>
<p>how so? same situation as me?</p>
<p>I’m a firm believer in the “get smarter over time” technique of studying. I took math level 2 as a sophomore with no studying (I took precalc that same year, I got a 650). Then I took it again as a junior with minimal studying, got an easy 800, finished with 15 minutes left</p>
<p>I’m kind of in the same situation as you, broski. I’m just going to take SAT Math II probably in December, and if I don’t score over a 750 then again in June or so.</p>
<p>I was in the same situation as you, but I took SAT 2 Math during my first semester of Calculus AB. And to be honest, some calculus skills could mess you up during the test if you’re not too careful. </p>
<p>Well, I took a class for it, but I believe that if I had just studied, I would’ve gotten the same score. I got a score of 790. </p>
<p>And if you’re planning on taking AP Statistics, I would say that it could teach you a lot more about your calculator. Because AP Statistics is based on calculator, so knowing calculator shortcuts are essential.</p>

<p>Hmm, I thought my calculus skills (and calculator skills) allowed me to solve some problems more quickly and more accurately (or at least, I would know if I screwed up). For example, there was a volume of a solid of rotation (it was a cone) on the June 2010 exam. CB writes the wrong answers based on mistakes that people would make with the volume of a cone formula ((pi/3)<em>r</em>r*h) as opposed to integrals based on rotation with shell or disk. So, if you have the calculus skills to do problems, I would recommend you use them; you’ll know if you screwed up that way.</p>
<p>^Exactly, volume of solid revolution problems show up from time to time. Also, limits are a calculus topic.</p>
<p>I took the math 2 sat after I took calc bc and I still did fine (800).</p>
