<p>to an extent...but the material on SAT II math is standard stuff that everyone learns in high school...and there is a big difference between a 600 verbal and a 600 on math IIC...a score like that on verbal is probably like 80th percentile, while a 600 on IIC is about 25th percentile. Im not saying everyone should be good at math, Im saying that you should be if you apply to places like Stanford.</p>
<p>I'm not yet applying to Stanford. That's why im here. to decide if I should before I go and poor all this stuff out to my counselor and have him shoot me down lol. I'd rather do my own research. Well, I'm sorry I didn't get skipped ahead in math in middle school, i was a really immature kid back then. never did my hw lol</p>
<p>masha, I am a junior and in a similar situation concering 2C. I am still going to apply and take 1C along with 3 other SAT 2s</p>
<p>would it be advisable to take writing, math1c and math2c?</p>
<p>Take the IIC. the math IIC, is much easier to score higher on than the IC. The curve is MUCH more generous. Take the IIC, It really isn't that hard. I took it and got a 770 easily and I don't consider myself a math genius by any means. Esp b/c I onl;y got an embarrassing 690 :( on the SAT I. yeah 690 on the math on the normal SAT, and 770 on Math IIC. thats how different they are. Yes I have taken AP calc BC but I only got a 3, and 4 AB subscore.</p>
<p>well my question is, if i don't have any other 'science' sat subject choice to choose from, can i do writing, math1c and math 2c? would that be okay</p>
<p>you could, but I think it would be a waste of your time. Take a language test, they are pretty easy.</p>
<p>for IIC...(or any other SAT II with generous curves for that matter)...how much do the percentiles matter???</p>
<p>I don't really do any of the languages in the SAT2 tests, well i know chinese but i lost touch with it for like 4 years already.... help</p>
<p>I would suggest in this order for your 3rd SAT2: U.S. History, Lit, Physics, or Bio. Unless you are particularly strong in a language (i.e. you're Chinese, then take the Chinese test.)</p>
