CHAPTER 1 - ABOUT THE SAT II: MATH LEVEL IIC SUBJECT TEST ABOUT THIS BOOK This book provides you with an accurate and complete representation of the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test. Inside you will find a complete course review designed to provide you with the information and strategies needed to do well on the exam, as well as six practice tests based on the actual exam. The practice tests contain every type of question that you can expect to appear on the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test. Following each test you will find an answer key with detailed explanations designed to help you master the test material. ABOUT THE TEST Who Takes the Test and What Is It Used For? Planning to go to college? Then you should take the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test in either of these cases: (1) Any of the colleges to which you are applying require the test for admission; "OR" (2) You wish to demonstrate proficiency in Mathematics. The SAT II: Math Level IIC exam is designed for students who have taken more than three years of college preparatory mathematics (two years of algebra and one year of geometry). Who Administers The Test? The SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test is developed by the College Board and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS). The test development process involves the assistance of educators throughout the country, and is designed and implemented to ensure that the content and difficulty level of the test are appropriate. When Should the SAT II: Math Level IIC be Taken? If you are applying to a college that requires Subject Test scores as part of the admissions process, you should take the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test by November or January of your senior year. If your scores are being used only for placement purposes, you may be able to take the test in the spring. For more information, be sure to contact the colleges to which you are applying. When and Where is the Test Given? The SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test is offered six times a year at many locations - mostly high schools - throughout the country. The test is given in October, November, December, January, May, and June. To receive information on upcoming administrations of the exam, consult the publication Taking the SAT II: Subject Tests, which may be obtained from your guidance counselor or by contacting: College Board SAT Program P.O. Box 6200 Princeton, NJ 08541-6200 Phone: (609) 771-7600 Website: http: //www.collegeboard.com Is There a Registration Fee? You must pay a registration fee to take the SAT II: Math Level IIC. Consult the publication Taking the SAT II: Subject Tests for information on the fee structure. Financial assistance may be granted in certain situations. To find out if you qualify and to register for assistance, contact your academic advisor. What Kind of Calculator Can I Use? If at all possible, bring a graphing calculator on test day. The test assumes that most students use a graphing calculator, and having one at your side may give you an edge. Consult official ETS and College Board publications (including Collegeboard.com) for more specifics. No pocket organizers, hand-held minicomputers, paper tape, or noisy calculators may be used. In addition, no calculator requiring an external power source will be allowed, and calculators may not be shared - you must bring your own. Thoroughly acquaint yourself with the operation of your calculator. Your performance could suffer if, say, you spend too much time searching for the correct function, or fail to keep in mind that the test's answer choices are rounded, or forget to switch to the correct calculating mode. HOW TO USE THIS BOOK What Do I Study First? Remember that the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test is designed to test knowledge that has been acquired throughout your education, the key to solid preparation is to thoroughly review the subject matter. Refresh yourself by studying our review material and taking the sample tests provided in this book. Our practice tests will expose you to the types of questions, directions, and format that are characteristic of the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test. To begin your studies, go over our course review and suggestions for test-taking. Then take Practice Test 1, using it as a diagnostic to reveal your area(s) of weakness. Now you'll want to restudy the review material, focusing on your specific problem areas. The course review includes the information you need to know for the exam. Take the remaining practice tests to further test yourself on the material and build your confidence by fully acquainting yourself with the test format. When Should I Start Studying? It is never too early to start studying for the SAT II: Math Level IIC test. The earlier you begin, the more time you will have to sharpen your skills. Do not procrastinate! Cramming is not an effective way to study, since it does not allow you the time needed to learn the test material. The sooner you learn the format of the exam, the more comfortable you will be when you take the exam. FORMAT OF THE SAT II: MATH LEVEL IIC The SAT II: Math Level IIC is a one-hour exam consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions. Each question has five possible answer choices, lettered (A) through (E). What's on the Test? Here's the approximate distribution of topics covered on the exam: Topic / Percentage of Test / Number of Questions Algebra / 18% / 9 questions Geometry / 20% / 10 questions - Three-dimensional Geometry / 8 % / 4 questions - Coordinate Geometry / 12% / 6 questions Trigonometry / 20% / 10 questions Functions / 24% / 12 questions Statistics-Probability / 6% / 3 questions Miscellaneous* / 12% / 6 questions * includes logic and proof, elementary number theory, sequences, and limits Questions on the test are also grouped according to whether or not you need to use your calculator. Category / Definition / Approximate Percentage of QuestionsSTUDYING FOR THE SAT II: MATH LEVEL IIC It is very important to choose the time and place for studying that works best for you. Some students may set aside a certain number of hours every morning to study, while others may choose to study at night before going to sleep. Other students may study during the day, while waiting on line, or even while eating lunch. Only you can determine when and where your study time will be most effective. Be consistent and use your time wisely. Work out a study routine and stick to it! When you take the practice tests, try to make your testing conditions as much like the actual test as possible. Turn your television and radio off, and sit down at a quiet desk or table free from distraction. Make sure to clock yourself with a timer. As you complete each practice test, score it and thoroughly review the explanations to the questions you answered incorrectly; however, do not review too much at any one time. Concentrate on one problem area at a time by reviewing the questions and explanations, and by studying our review until you are confident you completely understand the material. Keep track of your scores. By doing so, you will be able to gauge your progress and discover general weaknesses in particular sections. You should carefully study the reviews that cover your areas of difficulty, as this will build your skills in those areas. TEST TAKING TIPS Although you may be unfamiliar with standardized tests such as the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test, there are many ways to acquaint yourself with this type of examination and help alleviate your test-taking anxieties. Become comfortable with the format of the exam. When you are practicing to take the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test, simulate the conditions under which you will be taking the actual test. Stay calm and pace yourself. After simulating the test only a couple of times, you will boost your chances of doing well, and you will be able to sit down for the actual exam with much more confidence. Know the directions and format for each section of the test. Familiarizing yourself with the directions and format of the exam will not only save you time, but will also ensure that you are familiar enough with the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test to avoid nervousness (and the mistakes caused by being nervous). Do your scratchwork in the margins of the test booklet. You will not be given scrap paper during the exam, and you may not perform scratchwork on your answer sheet. Space is provided in your test booklet to do any necessary work or draw diagrams. If you are unsure of an answer, guess. However, if you do guess - guess wisely. Use the process of elimination by going through each answer to a question and ruling out as many of the answer choices as possible. By eliminating three answer choices, you give yourself a 50/50 chance of answering correctly since there will only be two choices left from which to make your guess. Mark your answers in the appropriate spaces on the answer sheet. Each numbered row will contain five ovals corresponding to each answer choice for that question. Fill in the oval that corresponds to your answer darkly, completely, and neatly. You can change your answer, but remember to completely erase your old answer. Any stray lines or unnecessary marks may cause the machine to score your answer incorrectly. When you have finished working on a section, you may want to go back and check to make sure your answers correspond to the correct questions. Marking one answer in the wrong space will throw off the rest of your test, whether it is graded by machine or by hand. You don't have to answer every question. You are not penalized if you do not answer every question. The only penalty results from answering a question incorrectly. Try to use the guessing strategy, but if you are truly stumped by a question, remember that you do not have to answer it. Work quickly and steadily. You have a limited amount of time to work on each section, so you need to work quickly and steadily. Avoid focusing on one problem for too long. Before the Test Make sure you know where your test center is well in advance of your test day so you do not get lost on the day of the test. On the night before the test, gather together the materials you will need the next day: - Your admission ticket - Two forms of identification (e.g., driver's license, student identification card, or current alien registration card) - Two No. 2 pencils with erasers - Directions to the test center - A watch (if you wish) but not one that makes noise, as it may disturb other test-takers On the day of the test, you should wake up early (after a good night's rest) and have breakfast. Dress comfortably, so that you are not distracted by being too hot or too cold while taking the test. Also, plan to arrive at the test center early. This will allow you to collect your thoughts and relax before the test, and will also spare you the stress of being late. If you arrive after the test begins, you will not be admitted to the test center and you will not receive a refund. During the Test When you arrive at the test center, try to find a seat where you feel most comfortable. Follow all the rules and instructions given by the test supervisor. If you do not, you risk being dismissed from the test and having your scores canceled. Once all the test materials are passed out, the test instructor will give you directions for filling out your answer sheet. Fill this sheet out carefully since this information will appear on your score report. After the Test When you have completed the SAT II: Math Level IIC Subject Test, you may hand in your test materials and leave. Then, go home and relax! When Will I Receive My Score Report and What Will It Look Like? You should receive your score report about five weeks after you take the test. This report will include your scores, percentile ranks, and interpretive information.

It can be programmable or non-programmable.

No pocket organizers, hand-held minicomputers, paper tape, or noisy calculators may be used. In addition, no calculator requiring an external power source will be allowed.
