If taking Maths II do I need to take Maths I?

<p>OK, as an international student we have to find out a lot of information ourselves.. I wanted to ask you guys, can I take only Maths Level 2 or do I have to take Maths Level 1 as well as that?</p>

<p>At the minute, my subject tests are:</p>

<p>Mathematics Level 2
Mathematics Level 1
Literature</p>

<p>But it makes no sense to do maths level 1 if you are doing 2 already... since its more advanced, is it not taken for granted you already know the stuff tested in maths 1? I hope that makes sense... cheers for any help given, I just dont want to waste time, money and effort preparing for an exam I don't have to take.</p>

<p>Take Level 2 only.</p>

<p>Thanks :) I'll go cancel Maths I</p>

<p>I think you should take it. Schools like Yale and Princeton that require 3 SAT 2s will accept this combination..However, take it only if you can score more than 700 cuz the curve is really harsh</p>

<p>Like raza999 says, if you plan on applying to schools that require 3 SAT Subject Tests, you might as well take it if there aren't any other Subject Tests you can take in its place and do well on. </p>

<p>Also, in my opinion the Level 1 test is harder than the Level 2 test (as backwards as that might seem). To get an 800, for example, you basically cannot miss or omit any questions at all. The questions also seem to be more tricky, albeit based on less advanced material.</p>

<p>some schools don't take level 1.</p>

<p>Ditto.</p>

<p>And Princeton needs 3 Subject Tests in 3 different areas, so 2 Maths won't do.</p>

<p>UCs dont take level 1.
If a school wants 3, I DONT recommend taking level1 +level2 +random test.</p>

<p>Scott:</p>

<p>take Math 2 if you are completing Pre-Calc. Math 2 has a much nicer "curve" than Math 1. But, if you are just now completing the equivalent of Alg II, then Math 1 would be the test of choice.</p>

<p>btw: IMO, one should NEVER submit two scores in a similar discipline to a college that requests three Subject Tests. Those colleges want you to show your academic prowess across multiple disciplines, not double up in one.</p>

<p>why not "officially" take the one you need but study the other one on the side because it'll help you with the other. And since math IIC is math IC plus a little more stuff, it would really help you with it.
But do not attend both!</p>

<p>no need to take MathI</p>

<p>but still look through the curriculum in order to be better prepared for the test he will take...</p>
