690 Math 1 vs 700 Math II: what's more impressive?

Test Preparation
1

<p>The reason I ask is the Math I 690 is like 75th percentile but the 700 math II is only 62th percentile. </p>

<p>And I'm afraid they're both too low even for an English major at an Ivy. On the bright side I have a 2300 superscore on SAT 1 (790 CR and 800 W) :-D</p>

<p>Hmm… where did you get those percentile numbers? Just curious.</p>

<p>I’ve always thought Math II was looked upon more highly simply because it covers math further in the curriculum. Though I suppose I’m not sure based on those percentages.</p>

<p>Personally I wouldn’t give second thought to just reporting Math II, but I’m not sure :&lt;/p>

<p>The 700 Math 2 is better. The percentiles are skewed because stronger math students take Math 2.</p>
