SAT Math 2 help??!!

<p>I SHOULD have covered all the material for SAT Math 2 (as my teacher has informed me).
I excelled in the algebra 2 and trig (98-100%) hardly studying. I'm also currently taking pre-calc and will be taking calc later this year.
Now, I'm trying to study for SAT Math 2. I don't understand why it's so hard for me. Is there something wrong with me? Have completed the material I need for Math 2? Really freaking out. I feel like such an idiot. D:</p>

<p>Please note that my school is absolutely retarded. </p>

<p>Help? I'm extremely nervous. </p>

<p>Also, on a side note, is it absolutely necessary to use a graphing calculator? </p>

<p>Please help.</p>

<p>Bummppp</p>

<p>Please help!</p>

<p>Which prep book are you using? What score ranges are you seeing on practice tests?</p>

<p>The CB one. That’s why it’s so frustrating. It should be easy!
However, now that I’ve calmed down a little :P, the questions are not actually that hard.
It’s just that I lack a graphing calculator, and, like every other question seems to need one. </p>

<p>Is it really that necessary? And is it hard to get used to using a graphing calculator?</p>

<p>Sorry, I probably sound like an idiot. v.v I think it’s mostly due to the nerves, but I really want to score high. </p>

<p>GAH! It shouldn’t be this frustrating!!</p>

<p>Bumppp…</p>

<p>I had Barrons and it required to use a graphing calculator for basically every problem also. However i have Casio which is different from TI so I didnt really bother using the calculator as much.</p>

<p>A graphing calculator helps immensely, not just for solving graphing problems, but for checking the solution to all kinds of problems. It is easier to see the operations you do and you can check any trig question on your calculator. I would recommend a TI 84 Silver Edition.</p>

<p>I think that 95% of doing well on the SAT Math II is using a calculator.</p>

<p>I spent one night learning all the ins-and-outs of my TI-84.</p>

<p>It was well worth the time spent.</p>
