SAT MATH 2 but higher

Test Preparation

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>Does anyone know if there is a test like the SAT MATH 2 but tests on a higher level of mathematics. (Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>If you are referring to standardized tests released by the College Board, I don’t think so.</p>

<p>You can check out past examinations from the respective college courses. For example, MIT’s OCW (for 18.02, 18.03, or 18.06) is an option.</p>

<p>The GRE math subject test has all of these topics and more (also abstract algebra, probability and statistics, topology, real and complex analysis) as well. But this is a standardized test for graduate school.</p>

<p>Oops, I stand corrected. I finally looked at a GRE math test for the first time. The problems look pretty basic but tests additional topics that DrSteve mentioned.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say the problems are basic. Many of them require a pretty high level of sophistication. And a pretty wide range of knowledge is required as well. Here’s an actual test:</p>

<p>I took GRE decades ago. As far as I remember, the math part was not much different from the SAT math (or SAT2 Math2).</p>

7

<p>Well, basic if you are familiar with the material. However some of the later problems do seem a bit tricky…However as a current math major, I’ve seen most of the topics already, so even though it does cover a wide range of topics, they should be readily accessible for most math majors.</p>

8

<p>Well, in still in high school and my problem is that after taking advanced mathematics courses the math sections of the sat and act cover material that long since forgotten. </p>

9

<p>The SAT/ACT math cover really basic material. If you are taking really advanced math scores I don’t see how you could not do well. If it is just simply that you haven’t seen the problems in a while, just grab a prep book and review…if your level of math is as advanced as you say, most of the basic concepts should come back.</p>

10

<p>That GRE stuff looks like some serious ****, gibberish to me. Yet I love the idea of something looking like gibberish at one point becoming easy as pie in time. </p>

11

<p>Most of the GRE math subject test problems don’t look too difficult for me, but then again I’m currently a math major. I’d have to review some abstract algebra first. I’m not sure if I’m going to attend graduate school yet though.</p>

12

<p>I know a little bit of the material on that GRE test from AP Calc, but I have yet to see half that stuff! I’m excited though, because it looks fun!! Am I weird? Haha</p>

13

<p>Let me clarify a bit. I’m a high school junior whose completed, Multi Variable, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations. I was wondering if there was a test that could demonstrate my ability in those subjects. Or should my grades suffice?</p>

14

<p>Yes your grades would suffice. Many juniors have not even taken those courses in high school yet, you are far ahead of the curve in terms of mastery of math. If you happen to go past that and are looking for extra year of math, perhaps a community college course would do, but it seems like you are in very good shape. Focus on the things you can do to show mastery - sat subject tests, ap tests, high school grades, ect. and the rest will be just icing on the cake.</p>
