<p>Well, I did take Math 2, i just didn't do very well on it. I got a 610, and I took Calculus last spring at the local junior college. But I got a C in that class and I hate math. I'm putting down sociology as my major and psychology as my 2nd major...</p>

<p>i'm retaking sat2s in december and i'm thinking about only taking Lit and U.S. History because in May I scored a 710 and 680 respectively. I'm hoping to raise these above 750 in December, but I don't know if i'll be seen as a "wimp" because I took Calculus already and sucked at Math 2...and I really don't want to take it again....</p>

<p>i took the math 1 test.</p>

3

<p>but you can't anymore....they changed it so you HAVE to take math 2 if you choose to take a math subject test</p>

4

<p>Yeah, you HAVE to take Math 2c now, since the change on the SAT I.</p>

5

<p>Yes, it will be noticeable if you don't take Math IIC as one of your SAT IIs. :rolleyes:</p>

6

<p>well i did take it already, i just got a 610</p>

<p>i'm asking if it would be detrimental if i were to leave it as that and score higher on two other tests</p>

7

<p>why dont you just take it again? its like what...$10? and they take the higher score...</p>

8

<p>well, the test is in about two and a half weeks, and i have two jobs. even if i were to study as much as i could in these two in a half weeks, i could maybe improve my score to 650-680? i figured it would be better to take u.s. history and lit and get +700 but if not retaking math 2 would really hurt me i suppose i'll do that...</p>

<p>I didn't take IIC and got into UCLA</p>

10

<p>i would try to improve as much as possible on the math II again...just because your original score will be on the report sent to UCLA (and seeing a 610 isn't that pleasing...)</p>

11

<p>You will need to take IIC if you are in Class of 06 and past.
Try to improve as much as you can. Getting 700+ should be okay (not brilliant), and is managable. I believe you can miss 15 or so and still get 700.</p>

<p>Well, I didn't take IIC and got into UCLA. </p>

<p>But I had other scores that may have made up for it... I'd say just study hard and take it again-- see how it goes...</p>
