<p>Which ones should I take so far I was thining
wirting, Literature and math1c</p>
<p>but I heard math 2c is the one I should take? The others I don't relaly want to take since it's been a while since I had physics or chem. But if need be I will.</p>
<p>You should try to take a variety of subjects. Just make sure to take the writing.</p>
<p>I took Math IIC and Physics also, but I could have just as well taken Spanish instead of either of them. But since I am satisfied with my scores, I'm happy I took the tests I did.</p>
<p>Take whatever you'll do best on.</p>
<p>Are they all counted the same? whats hte point of math2c if math1c is easier o.0</p>
<p>The tests you take are a reflection of your interests and abilities. You should maximize your scores by choosing your best subjects. For the most part, I'd say they have the same weight, it just depends on what you want to emphasize. If you're good at science, take a science test. If you're good at language, take a language test, and so on.</p>
<p>Math IIC looks better if you get a higher score, as it's a higher level of math. Also, it has a nice curve. I think 10% of the test-takers get an 800, but that's probably just because most of the people who take the Math IIC are confident (that's why they didn't take Math IC).</p>
<p>The curve on Math IIc is more substantial than on Math Ic. So you can get about 7 or 8 wrong and still have a chance at the 800 (depending on the test). 4 or less and you're garaunteed an 800. On Math Ic, the curve weakens (2 or less garuanteed) and on Math SAT I the curve is weakest (1 wrong may get you a 780). </p>
<p>I think Math IC and IIc are pretty equal in "hard"ness, but Math IIc covers more. You need to know basic limits and a lot more trig/analyt. The silly logic/algebra problems ("If you have three integers greater than 1 bla bla bla...") will be about the same, though. </p>
<p>I would take Math IIc, Writing, and your strongest science. If science doesn't feel good to you, a history or a language would be a decent substiture, especially if you're going into history or a language. If you are going into English or a related field, choose Literature. But Math IIc and Writing definitely.</p>
<p>Learn to spell "Ivy" before you apply to one :-P.</p>
<p>Sorry. As I warned in a previous post somewhere that I might one day start spelling Ivy wrong I have a habit of spelling Ivy, Ivey because the best school in Canada for business is Richard Ivey school fo business or Ivey for short so I've been saying that for so long. I do know how to spell Ivy League but when I'm in a rush I'll spell it like how I've been spelling it for a while.</p>
<p>depends on which university and which school within that university. i hope you're a junior cause diff schools might have diff requirements (at the ivy level, they can get pretty specific) and three alone might not be enough to apply everywhere u want. The old standby combo of tests that seems to work everywhere is Writing, a Math, and a Science. In many cases a history or foreign language will work in place of a science, but again, check. I took Writing, Math IIC and Physics. It helped that I was applying as a physics major. In almost every case tho, writing is a must.</p>
<p>haha.. junior would be nice. Then I could take my SATs again and hope for 1600. Grr. Actually my parents wouldn't let me write my SATs before this year because they wante to me concentrate on Canadian unviersities :P They finally changed their mind.</p>
<p>They gave me like $150 for SAT prep books but wouldn't pay the $80 registration fee when I asked earlier. Oh well. o.0</p>
<p>shoot your parents. its your college education, they should sit out on this one. good luck</p>
<p>do as I did:
math 2c
writing
2 languages
and good things will happen.</p>
<p>well I know it wasn't the money.. They didn't want me to worry about SATs instead of doing for example Calc.. but oh well. I would have liked the chance and I suppose if I was more affluent and had my own CC I would have been able to but otherwise I don't feel too disadvantaged. It's still silly. I just need 1 more course after this semester to graduate which is lots of time to spare. I could take half my courses again without no or limited penalty for my programs of choice here since they don't really do hardcore reviews like in America. It's mostly spreadsheeted. hmm top 300 applicants have 96, we have 200 spots, 250 of them ranked us 1st.. okay send out the ltters to the 300. :P</p>
<p>They also have lassiz-faire attitude. I'm like what if I don't get into unviersity htis year? They're like well you could try again next year? :S I have a 93 average (A+ in canada start at 90) with 2 gr.12 courses complete again at a 93 average so to be honest I would have prefered some reassurance :P</p>
<p>I think I would have had a chance at Wharton if I knew avbout things like SAT prep schools, GPA calculations, AP exams etc. I asked my counsellors if I should take AP last year and they're like don't bother still 12 (which is true for Canada since you won't get your transfer cfredit any earlier and they won't give consideration for AP scores) but... I guess being Canadian sucks at times :P Let me correct that. An average Canadian student.The private school Canadians seem to be getting into Harvard, Yale, Princeton all the time...</p>
