<p>What is on each of these? I had to change from World History to Spanish and from Math I to Math II, and have only 2 weeks to study. So, please, someone, what should I expect to be on these? I don't have $ to buy any books, and the closest lib. is an hour away...</p>
<p>There are sample questions on collegeboard.com </p>
<p>Select your tests on the left side.</p>
<p>...is this where I beat my head on the wall w/ my obvious stupidity?</p>
<p>I meant something more along the lines of "What subjects did the test focus on when you took them..."
But thank you for your help!</p>
<p>Math II covers precal. Thats all I know.</p>
<p>Foreign language tests generally cover material from 4th year classes. However, with strong 3 year prepping or extreme 2 year prep, you should be able to take the tests. Now I know nothing specific about the Spanish test, but I'd imagine it's similar to French - half grammar, half reading comp. The grammar isn't very hard if you know your stuff (when to use que/cual, este/esta, preterito/imperfecto, subjonctivo/conditional, etc etc). Reading comp is pretty difficult, because it ends up testing a lot of vocab and stuff. How good are you at Spanish?</p>
<p>I think Math IIc covers geometry, trig, algebra, and the likes. It's sorta hard, but the curve is awesome, where you can miss like, 8 questions and get a perfect score...</p>
<p>Ah. Thank you, muchly.
I actually dropped out of Spanish III-but it was b/c I couldn't pass the oral parts of the class. When it came to reading, I was the top of the class. I know my grammar rules (obviously not a skill I have in English), and I've kept ontop of those abilities, so hopefully I'll get at least a 600.</p>
<p>I lived in Chile for a year. The only thing that I don't like about this test is that they don't show your comparisons to non-native speakers - so I am a lot more excited about taking the AP test which does show that.</p>
<p>If you prepare for this - you could beat my 710 since it seems to test the same stuff from the prep books. I know people who studied for weeks before the test and beat my score, but they cannot speak and are very slow on reading comprehension. It is tricky. Basically, this test only measures how well you can study for the Spanish portion. Knowing that, it is tricky and just prepare for it.</p>
<p>Math 1 focuses on algebra and plane geometry, whereas Math 2 focuses on algebraic functions and trigonometry. Plane geometry is only tested indirectly through the trig and solid geometry questions on Level 2. For Math 2, you also need to know a lot of precaclulus concepts: asymptotes, limits, series (including very basic infinite series--typically geometric ones), logarithms, the exponential function and the natural logarithm, vectors, etc. The test does not include any calculus problems, but there are a few questions that can be answered using calculus methods--e.g., minimizing/maximizing a function, L'Hopital's rule for limits, etc. Both levels also have basic statistics on them.</p>
<p>I read once somewhere that the difficulty of the first question on a Level 2 test is approximately equal to the difficulty of the fifteenth question on a Level 1 test.</p>
<p>The main advantage to the Level 2 test is the generous curve. Typically you can miss 8-10 points (not necessarily questions, since 1/4 a point is deducted for wrong answers) and still get an 800.</p>
