<p>Is the actual Math IIC test hard like the Rusen Meylani practice tests??
Or is it easy like the Kaplan practice tests???
It seems that each of the Meylani tests has numerous hard questions that are most likely to come out one or two in a real test; am i right?</p>
<p>bump i'm kinda curious to know also, Can someone lend their advice?</p>
<p>I have taken 5 rusen tests, but not real Cb ones. I will take one out of the real 22 SATII's book after this next SAT, but you probably don't want to wait until then.</p>
<p>Hi, I am Rusen Meylani.</p>
<p>As for the level of my tests, I am trying to make them harder than the real test, the reason is I believe that a student must be trained with harder questions so that the real tests will be easier.</p>
<p>As for realistic, I believe they are. Here is what I do while preparing the questions, I get a lot of feedback from my students who take the real SAT's and the other teachers in my team who constantly go over every source on the SAT's. We then "guess" what might be asked in the coming exams and try to produce every version of any question likely to appear.</p>
<p>For example f(|x|) and |f(x)| are often confused by the students. However these are only 2 of the 30 transformations that may ever appear on the SAT questions on advance graphing of functions.</p>
<p>We then test our questions on our students among which there are many valedictorians who are really good in math. Then we make the test harder or easier, but we do try to maintain a certain level of difficulty. Then we revise the questions over and over again and finally decide on which tests to publish. Those on my book "15 Realistic Tests" are selected among 50 tests.</p>
<p>The solutions, however assume a certain level of knowledge as we do think that the Level 2 test (formerly known as 2C) is like a contest among the students interested in math more than others.</p>
<p>As for the language errors, we do apologize because English is not our native language.</p>
<p>I hope this information will help you.</p>
<p>On the other hand I have opened a thread where I will be willing to answer any questions or listen to any suggestions and comments to make my books better. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you all.</p>
<p>Rusen is way cool, I've talked to him in e-mails. His books are more accurate than barron's and test on stuff that WILL SHOW UP. His tests are like taking the hardest problems from two IIC and putting them in one, which will just prepare you even more, so just don't get discouraged because of your score.</p>
