<p>not bad at all...even PR overprepped me</p>
<p>this test is the easiest test (except for math 1) of all the sat II's.</p>
<p>The test isn't hard if you know your trignometry, functions, and logs, and other topics that are in pre-calculus. If you really really really don't know about a question, you can always resort to your graphing calculator.</p>
<p>You have to however, pay attention to bubbling. If you bubble one wrong, then the next one would be wrong as well... and the next one and the next one... so, just pay attention to what question you're on, on your answer sheet.</p>
<p>The standard scoring has always been designed so that a score of 800, or a score of 700, or whatever, is comparable to the same numerical score for an earlier version of the same test. Whether today's test was easy or hard, or whether six blanks gets an 800 or two blanks gets an 800, the meaning of a score of 800 is comparable across the years. Of course, there is always some error of estimation in any mental test, and even a person who got an 800 the last time may get a lower score upon retesting. </p>
<p>Don't worry about it. You'll know your scores a few weeks after you take the test.</p>
<p>ummm...so since I got a perfect 800 and from the answers that you guys are sharing in the other thread, i can say that many of you who are saying it was "easy" might be in for a surprise when the results show up. Well we'll see anyway.</p>
<p>The test was pretty simple. I only got like 2 wrong or so and didn't omit anything. I think the curve might be harsh however.</p>
<p>^^ Zrataza: Yes we'll see.</p>
<p>So a quick question: I'm a sophomore in AP Calc BC rright now... do you think I could study and do well on the May 3 Math IIC?</p>
<p>sure, why not</p>
<p>
I totally agree - just add "plain" Sparknotes SAT II Math's.
I've taken SAT II Math (both 1 and 2) numerous times, and I've seen very few surprises compare to the SparkNotes books.
Beware of some typos in them.
Barron's and Meylani are true overkills, with a bunch of typos to boot, but if you enjoy math and have a lot of time on your hands, crunch then too.</p>
<p>And don't forget two real SAT II Math tests from the College Board!</p>
<p>I think the difficulty of the test really depends on the version you get that particular test date. I took my Math II once in October and again in November, and the difficulty of the first simply did not compare with second. I had a lot more trouble with the problems on my first test than I did on the second. I feel that sometimes the problems emphasized some esoteric topics (I mean who the hell is going to need to know how to interpret some stem-leaf graph or whatever its called).</p>
<p>For me, I think I got lucky the second time and was able to bust out a 790.</p>
<p>I was a soph who took ap cac bc lsat year. you can totally study for the test</p>
<p>if u took calc bc or are taking calc bc, i HIGHLY suggest you go review precalc and other stuff as most of the stuff on math II is probably so easy that you forgot it (one of my friends had this problem and had to omit like 1 or 2 questions. thats like goodbye 800.)</p>
<p>^^^^^^
totally untrue about the omitting 1/2 question(s) part</p>
<p>Lovely...Maybe I won't take Math level II</p>
<p>for math level 2 meylani is solid</p>
<p>after which math class should i take this test? is pre-cal enough? or should i wait next year until calc?</p>
<p>precalc is more than enough</p>
<p>Barron's is good, because it's harder than the actual test.
McGraw hill is not easier than the actual test but not harder. McG Hill has i think 8 practice tests. Barron's has 6.
Everybody else has 2 or 3.</p>
<p>If you're in AB calc right now, you should be fine, as long as you haven't forgotten your precalc. Before you go and buy a review book, just take a few practice tests, and see how you do. I'm guessing if you don't do well, it will be because of one or two areas of study that you missed, and you can just go brush up on those weak areas (for me it was prob/stat, I had skipped that) with or without a book.</p>
