<p>hOW DO YOU GET A 800 ON THE SAT Math IIC i GOT A 540 ON MY FIRST TIME WITHOUT STUDYING</p>
<p>by not getting a lot of questions wrong, and by knowing pre-calculus/trigonometry. :/</p>
<p>YOu GeT aN 800 BY STUDYING fOr It</p>
<p>The problem for a lot of people is having enough time to finish the test, so if you practice, so should be able to speed up your test taking (and hopefully score higher :D)</p>
<p>540...ouch 1/10 scores 800. I scored 800 and I don't know what to say really. you can study all you want, but you need to gain an understanding for the concepts. 540 is super low...I suggest reviewing algebra and geomtry for starters.</p>
<p>There are only really 15 advanced questions, and when you are looking at a curve of 5-8 points. You got a lot of easy alg/geometry ones wrong.</p>
<p>i don't understand why you would take the test without studying...are you talking about a practice test?</p>
<p>You get an 800 by clicking your heels together three times and saying, "there's no score like 800".</p>
<p>Oh, and studying mathematics never hurts, too.</p>
<p>The best thing would be to get a few books and go through them thoroughly. Many of the topics covered on the test, such as probability, series, and matrices, aren't covered in-depth in high school classes. </p>
<p>The Princeton Review book worked pretty well, although I found the answer explanations frustrating when they would tell you to plug in answer choices and try to find the one that works, rather than show you how to solve the problem directly. I used the Barrons guide, too, but wouldn't suggest it unless you have an extremely nice, accessible math teacher who can help you attempt to understand the book's hurried explanations of advanced topics.</p>
<p>Also, take a lot of practice tests--many of these books have a few in the back, and right now you can find both the old and new editions of College Board's "Real SAT IIs" book in stores or on the internet. Good luck!</p>
<p>pray to god. if it doesn't work and you don't get an 800, then he doesn't exist. then you will realize that you are alone in this world and you have to study</p>
<p>Hi my name is Lois. I've been an LPN for 30 yrs.and going back to school for my R.N. Does anyone have sugestion what is best to study for toleto chem. test Thanks</p>
<p>For me, Math IIC was a calculator test versus a math test. As long as you understand the question and can quickly use your calculator to do what it asks you, you're all set. The required mathematical understanding, imo, is minimal. (Of course, I do understand it thoroughly, so maybe I'm biased because of that, but truly, I feel it is heavily calculator-biased test).</p>
<p>Though studying math quite obviously will help. Get a prep book. I recommend Barron's. Learn how to use an 89 or some other calc with CAS (CAS makes it much easier if you don't understand math, tho an 83 or any other nonCAS can do it just fine).</p>
<p>sphoenixee</p>
<p>study man i remmber a long time ago i got like 18 or 20 wrong and i got like a 600+</p>
<p>get Barron's book, and study it for a month. You will get 800 for sure then.</p>
<p>If you got a 540, you're not going to shoot up to an 800.<br>
1) buy barrons IIC
2) buy meylani 15 tests
3) learn how to use a ti-89 titanium</p>
<p>If you do all this effectively than you will get at least a 700, which is quite an increase. probably even more,but I wont guarantee it because 540 is super low with the curve.</p>
<p>Maybe try Math I instead?</p>
<p>I got 800 on Math II but I didn't really study.. just reviewed basics (notes from my Pre Calc class) for like an hour the day before.</p>
<p>(I do not recommend buying Barrons IIC.. it makes things way too complicated.. too in depth)</p>
<p>When do you think (as in which year of HS) the best time to take the test is?</p>
<p>Since math is cumulative, you're less likely to forget it than you would forget other subjects you might be taking SAT IIs for (e.g. chemistry or history). Thus, there is no class that after finishing you should immediately take the test. The more math you know, the better; the minimum prerequisite would be precalculus/trig, as there is a lot of trigonometry on the math 2 SAT II. Don't worry about taking it before May or June of your junior year.</p>
<p>At the end of senior year would be the best time in high school, i think...</p>
<p>Is IIC a test that you could get by in (... okay, as in get an 800 in) after taking a pre-calculus class????</p>
