Hi and welcome to my blog,

I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!



Also, what are the most popular math topics I will encounter on the SAT 2? I’m a senior in highschool now and we didn’t have a precalculus math teacher until just now… and my sat is this saturday, but I’m going to go in for tutoring tomorrow just to try to get whatever I can out of tutoring before taking the SAT 2.

    In the case of the Math Level 2 Subject Test, you’re allowed to skip about four to seven questions, and still get an 800. This is because the questions are harder than the Math Level 1 Subject Test, but the testmakers want the scores to be relatively similar. Thus, the grading curve on the Math Level 2 is pretty forgiving.

    If you get a TI-89, it’ll help you out a lot on the test.

    You would get no points for a question you didnt answer. So, answer it , guess, you may get it right. If you get it wrong, it will be no different than not answering it at all.

    no you dont get points taken off for skiping. I have a good tip for you though. guess on all of the problems you get to, the guessing penalty is a Quarter point off but if you guess on five of them the chances you get at least one of them correct is 1 in 5, totally eliminating the penalty. (-1/4)4 + 1pt is equal to zero. and if u can break some of those guesses down to a few choices you will actually gain points. Don’t worry to much about the SATs either, colleges look more at your class grades and GPA then how you do on one single test. JUST RELAX…
