Hi guys, I’m going to make this thread so we can all discuss the SAT 2 Math II test for October. Please be nice and considerate. Feel free to discuss any ways to prep, and panic after the test is administered. I am retaking the test in October, and I am using Dr. Chang’s math book for prep.
Dr. Chung’s didn’t really help me as much as Barrons did. You can use it for a few extra tips but there’s a ton of unneeded and random rules. It’s better to learn the math than to just memorize rules for certain cases.
@fifteenpapers haha yeah, I’m planning to get barron’s soon.
is everyone shy?
@michelle426: lol maybe so.
I got a 790 on the June test, but I didn’t study as much as I could have so I’m retaking for that elusive 800 :P.
It also has to do with the fact that a 790 is like 70th percentile or something :/.
@JuicyMango yeah i got a 770 due to careless mistakes >.< 800 this time pls
I’m also taking math 2 in oct. This will be my first time. Is Barron’s the consensus?
@XCjunior2016 Barron’s is good, but just try to find a book that suits you.
CB has released a book with 2 Math 1 and Math 2 tests. Might be helpful to get a feel for the real test. Using Barrons mostly because it is so detailed.
@michelle426 @JuicyMango How was the June test? Was it hard? Im taking it for the first time in Oct too. Hopefully itll be the last SAT that I will ever have to take 
@misschoding June test was meh. Very concepty, less numbers. Slightly harder than I expected. I unfortunately was very frazzled that day and got a 770.
OK plot twist guise: I might not be taking the October test LOLLLL My parents think it’s better to retake a 2210 SAT than a 770 Math 2.
@michelle426 I would be happy with a 770 haha Did you run out of time? I usually need like an extra 3~5 min on Barrons tests…
@misschoding I omitted one. I had like ~5 minutes left even after I spent like 4 minutes trying to work out the one I omitted.
@michelle426 A 2210 is so good though! What’s your breakdown, if you don’t mind me asking? Whether you decide to take the SAT or Math II, good luck!
@misschoding haha no it’s all good I’m chill with it. I’ve taken the SAT twice:
2140 (690CR/800M/650W/9E)
2210 (680CR/800M/730W/10E)
Math is usually my best friend and I hate CR LOLLLL. If I choose not to take the Math 2 again, I just hope an 800 on the SAT 1 and a 770 on the subject test will cut it…
And thanks! Good luck in October.
@michelle426 Thats so good! I hate CR too 
If any of you took Barron’s tests and the real administered SAT 2 Math test, could you please tell us your scores for both? I heard that If you could add 50 -100 points to your Barron’s score to get your projected score on the real Math 2 test. Thanks
Hi there guys! I’m no longer taking this test in October. I will be taking it in November. Good luck!
I plan on taking this test in October. I’m struggling with Barron’s and Chung’s (they don’t have enough explanation). Do you guys have any other recommendations?
