<p>I heard its very generous, can someone post the top 10-15 scores or so? I'm really debating whether to take 1c or 2c. My math is very good all the way up to certain topics in precalc. If the 2c curve is really that great then im thinking i can just skip them.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>It's like you can miss 5, 6 questions and still get a perfect score</p>
<p>does the curve go down dramatically after that like one more wrong its -20, -20, -20, etc or is it still generous?</p>
<p>let me rephrase my question, about how many questions out of the 50 are Math1C type questions and how many questions deal with stuff like matrix, vectors, polars, etc?</p>
<p>thanks so much</p>
<p>When I took the test (June 2004), I didn't see any questions about matrices, vectors, or polar coordinates.. I think they'd have at most maybe 2 questions on those topics.</p>
<p>I don't recall any vectors, polar when i took it; there was probably one on matrix, so i'd say 0-3 questions</p>
<p>its probably close to this:</p>
<p>60=800
59=800
58=800
57=800
56=800
55=790
54=780
53=760
54=750
53=730
52=720
51=710
50=700</p>
<p>if you're good in pre-calc, take 2c. it's so much fun</p>
<p>one words... generous.</p>
<p>Neelesh, I have not idea what you are talking about. The Math IIc is sored on a raw 50 scale. Here is the scale sparknotes gives:</p>
<p>50 800
49 800
48 800
47 800
46 800
45 800
44 800
43 800
42 790
41 780
40 770
39 760
38 750
37 740
36 730
35 720
34 710
33 700
32 690
31 680
30 680
29 670
28 660
27 650
26 640
25 630</p>
<p>It's not too hard to score well on.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, compare the Math IIC curve with the IC:</p>
<p>50 800
49 780
48 770
47 760
46 740
45 730
44 720
43 710
42 700
41 690
40 680
39 670
38 660
37 650
36 640
35 630
34 610
33 600
32 590
31 580
30 570
29 560
28 550
27 550
26 540
25 530</p>
<p>On the June test, there definitely was a matrices question, and a question about vectors, but nothing I remember about polars. If you've done well in all math classes esp. Trig and PreCalc, the 2c should be a breeze. The PR book helps too.</p>
<p>lol is the math2c curve a joke? if you get 25/50, you get 630? i would expect something like 500!</p>
<p>what type of trig stuff do you need to know? solve for trig angles? anything deeper?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>let's put it this way...an 800 is a 90% percentile score.</p>
<p>Though most test prep books say that missing 6 or 7 can still leave you with a 790, it is more likely that if you do not get an 800, the next highest score possible is a 770ish. There is a drop because of the glut of 800's.</p>
<p>why soes the math iic have a more generouse curve than the Ic?? isnt Ic easier?????</p>
<p>exactly. IC's problems are much easier, so the curve is harsher. IIC's problems test more material, and the problems are a lot more difficult, so they give you a bit of a break.</p>
<p>if a 30/50 can get me a 680, whoohuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i haven't taken it yet, i am doing it this November, i got 800 on SAT i math, SAT ii look so hard, what should i prepare for? Right now i have Barron's work book, it is hard!!!!!!! :( WHAT SHOULD I DO????</p>
<p>if you're getting around 30/50 on the Barrons then you will EASILY get a 800 on the real thing, Barron' is way toooooooooo hard.</p>
<p>Yes, barron's is notorious for being extremely difficult. It overpreps you, but you will then think the real test is a joke. You will get 750+ easily</p>
<p>i got around 650 on the barron's...i got an 800 on the real thing and I finished it about 20 minutes early.</p>
