<p>For the people who epically failed the Math II test… what are you going to do about preparing for next time?? </p>
<p>Also, are you not that great at math or was it nervousness and other test taking problems that lead to your dismal score?</p>
<p>It was the latter for me. :S I know I’m good at math. I’m not like a super genious about it. I’m taking the normal advanced courses, nothing like taking Calc as a freshman. I’m still taking Calc though! So yeah, I’m pretty sure I need to figure out how to tackle this test. Everyone does so well on this test, so not retaking isn’t an option. So what are you all going to do?</p>
<p>Im good in math in that I get As in IB math HL, but I got a 710 on this test…
Didn’t study for it at all, instead studied for physics and thought I would get at least 750 after the test, but today i check and i got 670… - .-…</p>
<p>Yupyup, epic failure here. But I’m not retaking; I’d rather take Bio or Spanish instead next year. If I were to retake math II and epically fail again, it would be beyond disheartening. Besides, only one college that I’m applying to requires 3 SAT IIs, and I already have 2 other solid ones.</p>
<p>Do you really feel the need to retake this specific test instead of taking a different subject? It could help. Just a suggestion, from one epic failure to another :)</p>
<p>Would highly selective colleges look down on 3 humanities-based SAT IIs if one’s application is centered around the humanities?</p>
<p>i just got my scores back and i got an 800 all i did before was skim through sparknotes online and do the two practice tests in the small blue book. what i saw was that most of these questions were similar as the ones on the real thing. just learn how to do them all and itll guarantee you a 700+. if you are good in math getting 5’s on BC calc then easy 800</p>
<p>Hey dude don’t even sweat it. Just do some more studying from like Barrons/Princeton/Kaplan and take it again. I got a 570 last year as a Sophomore and was really dismayed cause I thought I was good at math (took honors every year, only get B’s in classes tho). Then summer of junior year (this year) it’s finals week and I have no time to study at all for SAT II’s and then the day after school ends, BAM SAT 2 weekend. Got a 700 this time, even though my math class this year was a complete joke and we played through pokemon blue on our TI-89’s at least 10 times, ect. </p>
<p>Moral of the story, it’s not even about “do more learning next year” or “study harder.” Each time you retake the test it’s a different set of questions. Each time you retake the test you get a little bit more comfortable with the format and it all starts looking familiar and friendly. Each time you retake the test you might be in a room that’s less depressing than the last room you were in. So chin up, eat pancakes/waffles for breakfast and go do it.</p>
<p>I’m so retaking. I have to take one more anyway, so I’ll just retake when I do that one. I’m not that great at math, I took Calc BC this year, so lately I hadn’t really done any Math II type stuff. Ugh.</p>
<p>When I say I fail, I really mean I did badly. Not like, “Oh noes, I got a 760!” Or w/e. My score was below 650. Looking around the forum, I have the LOWEST score among the CCers. It’s utterly shocking how horribly I did on this test. I didn’t even feel THAT bad about it. I thought I didn’t do well, but I wasn’t expecting this. </p>
<p>My two other scores were 750 and 770. Which I think is pretty good. So idk, it doesn’t seem like it’s a mistake. I’m just an idiot. Ugh, must improve.</p>
<p>Shizzle do you feel like perhaps you were cheated? I got a 600 on mine. I’m too discouraged to care about anything; I want to cry. I like math, and i’m good at it. I even checked this website to view the ones i had trouble with…</p>
<p>Don’t get too low dude… there is always next time. The key is not to get to nervous. I didn’t feel nervous and that’s probably the main reason why I got a 750.</p>
