<p>Mathematics Level 1</p>
<p>Mathematics Level 1 is a broad survey test intended for students who have taken three years of college-preparatory mathematics, including two years of algebra and one year of geometry.</p>
<p>Anticipated Skills
You're not expected to have studied every topic on the test, but you should anticipate the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Number and Operations </li>
<li>Algebra and Functions </li>
<li>Geometry and Measurement (plane euclidean, coordinate, three dimensional, and trignometry) </li>
<li>Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability </li>
</ul>
<p>Calculator Use
It's NOT necessary to use a calculator to solve every question on the Mathematics Level 1 Subject Test, so it's important to know when and how to use one. For about 50-60 percent of the questions, there's no advantage, perhaps even a disadvantage, to using a calculator. For about 40-50 percent of the questions, a calculator may be useful or necessary.</p>
<p>If you're comfortable with both a scientific and graphing calculator, you should bring a graphing calculator. A graphing calculator may provide an advantage over a scientific calculator on some questions.</p>
<p>Mathematics Level 2</p>
<p>Mathematics Level 2 is a broad survey test intended for students who have taken college-preparatory mathematics for more than three years, including two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and elementary functions (precalculus) and/or trigonometry.</p>
<p>Anticipated Skills
You're not expected to have studied every topic on the test, but you should anticipate the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Number and Operations </li>
<li>Algebra and Functions </li>

<li>Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability </li>
</ul>
<p>Calculator Use
It's NOT necessary to use a calculator to solve every question on the Mathematics Level 2 Subject Test, so it's important to know when and how to use one. For about 35-40 percent of the questions, there's no advantage, perhaps even a disadvantage, to using a calculator. For about 55-65 percent of the questions, a calculator may be useful or necessary.</p>
