The Complete Guide to SAT Subject Tests in Mathematics

swimstar · May 2010

@disorder I have both Barron's and PR, and while Barron's includes more practice tests and supposedly better preparation since those practice tests are so hard, I've found PR to be a much better review concept-wise -- it's much clearer and more concise.

Thank you very much, swimstar! I guess I'll buy the PR textbook as well.
By the way, does anybody know how I can find out about new editions of the textbooks? I'm buying the textbooks from Amazon, and I only found the 2008 edition of Barron's math 2. Is there a newer version of it, and how do I know when a new edition is out?

Does anyone know if the sparknotes tests are pretty closely related to the real exam, will my score on the two be similar?

sparknotes is easier than the test

Amazing thread!!

bdw Jamesford,could you suggest a book like 'RUSH' with lots of 'tougher than normal' practice tests for the Chemistry subject test please?

TOTAL BUMPP

I want others to see this!
I learned how to do matrices, regressions, and standard deviation on a graphing calculator and it took me only 10 minutes. Yay! Everybody read the post it's so helpful

thanks for the helpful tips. I know the calculator tricks will save me a lot of time come the test date.

Let's say I want a 750+ and I didn't take honors math because my strong suits lie in other subjects. I would still like to take a math test, but I'm not sure that I'll get a good score. Do you think without Honors classes and probably a decent understanding of math, I can achieve a 700+ hopefully 750+ on the math test. I would be studying of course, so if that would make it a lot more feasible, then I'll probably take that route rather than avoiding it altogether

My child will be graduating HS in 2012--we had been told that the SAT II tests are no longer required for UC's--has this requirement been lifted at other schools ie Ivies?

quick question..how do you graph the regression after you're done with everything?

lmike215 · May 2011

@Howhurl

Once you have your numbers in your list, hit
2ND, STATPLOT(Y=), ENTER, ENTER, Y=
In the Y= space, hit VARS, 5, ->, ->, 2, X(the button), +, VARS, 5, ->, ->, 3,

Basically, get your Y= looking like this: (Y=aX+b)
if you followed the OP's directions.
If you did the STATCALC 8 method, then get it like this: (Y=a+bX)

Next, hit ZOOM, 9(ZoomStat), then you're done!

wow. it's awesome. thanks!
