Paperback
(Princeton Review, March 20, 2001)
The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT II: Math exam is very different from getting straight As in school. They don't try to teach students everything there is to know about math--only what they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the SAT II: Math, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and:* Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you* Score higher by reviewing some basic arithmetic concepts* Earn more points by plugging in numbers on algebra problems*** This book includes 4 full-length simulated SAT II: Math exams (two each for Math IC and Math IIC). All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained.Contents Include:I IntroductionWhat Are the Math Subject Tests?When Should I Take a Math Subject Test?How to Use This BookII StrategyCracking the Math Subject TestsIII ArithmeticDefinitionsFactorsEven and Odd, Positive and NegativeDoing ArithmeticFractions, Decimals, and PercentagesAveragesExponentsRootsSpecial ExponentsRepeated Percentage ChangeScientific NotationLogarithmsFlashcardsIV AlgebraAlgebra on the Subject TestsSetting Up EquationsFactoring and DistributingAlgebraic FunctionsPlugging InBacksolvingInequalitiesWorking with RangesDirect and Indirect VariationWork and Travel QuestionsSimultaneous EquationsFOILFactoring QuadraticsThe Quadratic FormulaFlashcardsV Plan GeometryPlane Geometry on the Subject TestsBasic Rules of Lines and AnglesTrianglesQuadrilateralsOther PolygonsCirclesFlashcardsVI Solid GeometrySolid Geometry on the Subject TestsRectangular SolidsCubesCylindersConesSpheresPyramidsTricks of the TradeFlashcardsVII Coordinate GeometryCoordinate Geometry on the Subject TestsThe Coordinate PlaneThe Equation of a LineLinear EqualitiesGeneral EquationsTriaxial Coordinates: Thinking 3-DFlashcardsVIII TrigonometryTrigonometry on the Subject TestsThe Basic FunctionsTrigonometric IdentitiesGraphing Trigonometric FunctionsTrigonometry in Non-Right TrianglesFlashcardsIX FunctionsFunctions on the Subject TestsThe Basic FunctionsCompound FunctionsInverse FunctionsDomain and RangeGraphing FunctionsDegree of FunctionsReviewing Functions FurtherFlashcardsX Statistics and SetsStatistics on the Subject TestsWorking with StatisticsProbabilityPermutations and CombinationsGroup QuestionsUnion and IntersectionFlashcardsXI MiscellaneousMathematical Odds and EndsArithmetic and Geometric SeriesLimitsVectors
