What is the difficulty level of Math IIC?

For what it’s worth, I did no prep for Math II and got a 740, but prepped a little bit for the ACT and got a 35 on the math. Granted, my school doesn’t offer AP courses and I was only in “intro to calc” during my junior year (on pace to finish the equivalent of Calc AB senior year), but I thought Math II was the more difficult test. Math II isn’t really an exercise in being able to answer hard questions. It’s about not getting easy questions wrong and just skipping any questions you don’t know how to answer. The curve is very forgiving, especially compared to Math I.

My only tip would be to prep at least a little bit. I decided to take the test the night before, so I had no idea what I was doing and my score reflects that a bit. Nothing is particularly hard about the exam, but it pays to be familiar with the kinds of questions they ask on Math II. I would say Math I is much more similar to the ACT in terms of difficulty and timing.
