How can I prepare for my SAT math level 2 subject test. I’m stressing out because I just found out that to be considered for Cal Poly Pomona’s engineering school I need to take the math level 2 and a science related to my major. I’m currently in AP Chemistry and Calculus as a junior and though I’m not doing bad, I’m not doing great either. How hard are the math level 2 and chemistry subject tests? And what score should I get to at least be considered?
For Math2, get the Barron’s book to prepare for it. If you can get 700+ on the last practice test, you are good. For chemistry, are you taking AP Chem? My D just go through the review materials on the Princeton Review and Barrons for the chemistry subject test after taking AP Chem.
do the practice tests get more difficult in barrons math? @billcsho
also can anyone tell me if ALL subject tests are -0.25 for wrong answers?
The Mathematics Level 2 Subject Test covers the same material as the Mathematics Level 1 test — with the addition of trigonometry and elementary functions (precalculus). It does not contain any calculus. Best advice is get some study guides and take practice exams.
Yes. My D almost cried after the last practice as she could not answer quite a few questions, and yet, she got 800 in the real test.
Since March 2016, the generic SAT no longer has a guessing penalty. So if you get a question wrong, you don’t lose any points. You obviously won’t gain any, either.
However, the SUBJECT TESTS still have a guessing penalty.
On a side note, does anyone know why legitimate links are being blocked?
can anyone tell me if getting a 680 on chemistry barrons practice test translates to? I know the barrons tests are harder and I should expect a higher score.
I also got a 790 on math 2 practice test, so I think I have a good shot at 800 on real one.
