<p>Barrons frequently uses the general formula for them, which I know I will not be able to manipulate quick enough on the test date. Has anyone ever seen that general formula on an official Math II test?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Get a TI-89.</p>
<p>^ I don't understand what you mean by the general formula?</p>
<p>Are you just talking about the formula which states variables of axises etc?</p>
<p>I think frost is referring to Ax^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0.</p>
<p>The type of conic, etc. depends on the values of A, B, C ...</p>
<p>E.g. B^2 - 4AC > 0 means: hyperbola.</p>
<p>Barron's has this, but that doesn't mean it comes up on the actual test that much.</p>
<p>Most of the things in Barron are not tested on the Math II SAT anyways...so take your chances... (Probably because it's so into its overprepping nature)</p>

<p>what.... then the questions in Barrons are TOTALLY different from the REAL TEST??</p>
<p>is it possible if i get how to do the questions in barron, but have no clue how to do the questions in the real test?</p>
