If you got only 9 wrong that's pretty good I think? I forget what I was doing on the Barrons Math 2C practice, I know they rank as Superior, Very Good, Good...I was getting Good, rarely Very Good, and I got an 800 on the Math 2C.

I had about a week left before I had to take the Math IIC test, and I was scoring in the mid to low 30s on the practice exams. Heck, I think I even got a 28...and this was all about a week before I had to take the test. I ended up getting an 800.

Did you all study the ones that you got wrong on the practice tests or did you just take them and get an 800 b/c of your superior math skills.

I studied the ones I missed...that provided me with some useful hints and strategies, but you definitely need to know the stuff (or get a really good calculator like a TI-89).

why does an 89 help you?

Pretty print
CAS
solve
factor
expand
nPr
nCr
limit

and it just goes on and on baby...

i got a 770 on writing, and got a 12 on the essay. i missed about 14 questions, though...

regarding the ti-89, mike28 sums things up nicely. you don't NEED it, but it'll make it a lot easier for you to score higher.
