<p>Is Math II really that much harder? For someone that got 780 on SAT I, would it be very hard.</p>
<p>I took pre-cal last year and am taking AP Cal this upcoming year.</p>
<p>Also is the physics test like physics you learn in school?</p>
<p>Since you already took pre-cal, you should take the Math II exam. I’ve heard it has a more generous curve than Math I, and you’ve already covered all of the math required to pass it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No dude, it’s the physics taught to MIT graduate students.</p>
<p>Math 1 doesnt count for many good colleges :(. You’re better off doing Math 2. Also Math 2 curve is good :D</p>
<p>I have seen this exact same question about 5 times on this forum, lol.
Take Math II. The curve is much more generous and the questions aren’t that much more difficult.</p>
<p>thanks guys.
and keasbey lol. thanks.</p>
<p>I took a practice SAT II test for Math I and got a 750 on it… do you guys think I should study and try and get an 800 on the Math I test or study for the Math II test and suffer for a lower score (but a lower test level).</p>
<p>Anyone? ^^^</p>
<p>Math II is often considered a relatively easy subject test. If you know the material covered comprehensively, as long as you avoid making too many arithmetic mistakes, an 800 shouldn’t be a great challenge. An 780 on the SATI indicates that you got 1 wrong, and if I had to guess that was due to a silly error; you’ll most likely be fine on the Math II.</p>
<p>I would avoid the Math I. Too many possibilities to screw up, and a very sharp curve.</p>
<p>most likely you’ll actually get a better score on math 2 than math 1 because of the curve. i did better on the math 2 than the normal SAT anyway (although i’ve never taken the math1 subject test).
basically, math ic= a waste of time. take math iic</p>
<p>The difference is that you should take Math II but not Math I.</p>
<p>Math I is not easier. The curve is so vicious that you’ll get a terrible score and look like a coward for substituting a real exam for Algebra I.</p>
<p>Really, the only reason someone shouldn’t take Math II is not knowing precalc.</p>
<p>I’m gonna be a sophomore this year, and I’m taking (honors) Algebra III (after Algebra II and Geometry, before PreCalc). I was thinking about taking MathiC just to see how I do, in addition to taking SAT I, is this advisable?</p>
<p>Also, I’m a bit of a n00b, what is “the curve” you refer too?</p>
<p>^ On Math II, you can get five or six questions wrong and still get an 800. On Math I, I think you can miss one at most.</p>
<p>On Math 1, one miss typically eliminates your 800.</p>
<p>I thought the misses were based on the number of people that got all the questions right? Doesn’t that mean that more people generally do better on the Math 1?</p>
