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.

STUDYING 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.
