Will taing Math Level-2 help me on CLEP Precalculus?

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I registered to take CLEP Precalculus, which is after taking SAT Math Level-2.</p>

<p>I am wondering if studying for Math Level-2 subject test will cover CLEP Precal concepts </p>

<p>at the same time?</p>

<p>Why are you taking CLEP precalc?</p>

<p>SAT II > CLEP</p>

<p>Really?</p>

<p>Anyway, I am going to take CLEP Precal…I really do hope SAT Math Level-2 will cover CLEP Precal too</p>

<p>It looks similar. Chances are the tests are pretty much identical.</p>

<p>Thank you very much, IceQube!!!</p>

<p>If I prepare SAT Math Level-2 very well, then I should have a high chance of scoring perfect score for CLEP?</p>

<p>By the way, have you taken CLEP Precal?</p>

<p>I haven’t taken CLEP Precal.</p>

<p>CLEP Precal Topical Outline</p>

<p>20%
Algebraic Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities
Ability to perform operations on algebraic expressions
Ability to solve equations and inequalities, including linear, quadratic, absolute value, polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric
Ability to solve systems of equations, including linear and nonlinear
15%
Functions: Concept, Properties, and Operations
Ability to demonstrate an understanding of the concept of a function, the general properties of functions (e.g., domain, range), function notation, and to perform symbolic operations with functions (e.g., evaluation, inverse functions)
30%
Representations of Functions: Symbolic, Graphical, and Tabular
Ability to recognize and perform operations and transformations on functions presented symbolically, graphically, or in tabular form
Ability to demonstrate an understanding of basic properties of functions and to recognize elementary functions (linear, quadratic, absolute value, square root, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, and piecewise-defined functions) that are presented symbolically, graphically, or in tabular form
10%
Analytic Geometry
Ability to demonstrate an understanding of the analytic geometry of lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas
15%
Trigonometry and its Applications*
Ability to demonstrate an understanding of the basic trigonometric functions and their inverses and to apply the basic trigonometric ratios and identities (in right triangles and on the unit circle)
Ability to apply trigonometry in various problem-solving contexts
10%
Functions as Models
Ability to interpret and construct functions as models and to translate ideas among symbolic, graphical, tabular, and verbal representations of functions

  • Note that trigonometry permeates most of the major topics and accounts for more than 15 percent of the exam. The actual proportion of exam questions that requires knowledge of either right triangle trigonometry or the properties of the trigonometric functions is approximately 30-40 percent.</p>

<p>Math II Outline</p>

<p>Approximately 10-14% of questions focus on numbers and operations, 48-52% focus on algebra and functions, 28-32% focus on geometry (coordinate, three-dimensional, and trigonometric geometry are covered; plane geometry is not directly tested), and 6-10% focus on data analysis, statistics and probability.[1] Compared to Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2 is more advanced. Whereas the Mathematics 1 test covers Algebra II and basic trigonometry, a pre-calculus class is good preparation for Mathematics 2.</p>

<p>Looks more or less the same.</p>
