How similar are SAT II literature and SAT II Math (II) to the SAT I?

<p>I got a 680 on CR in SAT I and 690 on Math in SAT I. do you think i should take either math or literature sat IIs or should i try my luck with some other subject?</p>

<p>i'm not sure how similar the literature SAT IIs are to the CR of SAT I, and same with math. what do you think?</p>

<p>I don’t know about literature, but the math is very different. SAT I math is about reasoning and attention to detail; SAT II math is about how good you are at precalc – less tricky but more advanced. Whether that means your score will be significantly different I don’t know; it depends on what your strengths are.</p>

<p>Well, SAT math, imo, is much much harder. You can miss 6 on the math level 2 and still get an 800, where just couple misses on math can be absolutely fatal. The actually material on SAT math, like 112358 told you, requires much more reasoning and a much more focused and prepared mind. If you can get a 690 on SAT I, you should definitely be able to get 740+ on Math II.</p>

<p>Now, I’m sorry to say this, but SAT II literature is HARD. A chap I spoke to who got an 800 on CR ranked them both on a scale of one to ten in hardness. He gave CR a 5/10 and lit a 9/10. So…yeah. The literature test doesn’t mess around.</p>

<p>I’d agree with the statements above. I got an 800 on the critical reading section of the SAT. My first go at the Lit subject test? 600. I just wasn’t prepared for it to be that difficult. :/</p>

<p>I got an 800 on CR and a 790 on Literature. I’ve never taken a Lit course, so it is possible to do it without, but the Literature SAT II was quite a lot harder than the CR. On the other hand, I give it points for being one of the few subject tests you can ace without studying or taking a class. And will people kill me if I say that it was actually pretty fun?</p>
