<p>So, I live in Georgia, and instead of algebra, geometry, etc., we have Math 1, Math 2, Math 3, and Math 4. I've heard that it's actually more rigorous, because we learn a mixture of all maths starting freshman year (going through algebra, algebra 2, geometry, trig, and precalc).
Anyway, I've taken accelerated, so at the end of this year (junior year) I'll have gone through Math 4 and can take calculus next year. My question, though, is about whether I should take the math 1 or math 2 sat II? Any help would be appreciated- thanks!</p>
<p>Math II because:
- it tests everything from algebra to pre-calc, while Math I tests a smaller range. So Math II measures more skills.
- The curve for Math II is much more forgiving
- More colleges like Math II anyway (refer to #1)</p>
<p>i have also heard the same, that math I does not add much value to your application anyway, so you might as well go for math II</p>
<p>I HIGHLY recommend taking the Math II test. I took the Math I test because I was scared I would not do well, but I was completely wrong. I took the Math I test in June and got a 710 on it, but finally ended up taking the Math II in November for Early Decision 1, and I got an 800 on it (scores came out today). If you can do logarithms, trig, interest, complex numbers, etc. definitely take the Math II.<br>
I believe you can omit about 7 answers and still get an 800. This gives you the opportunity to focus on getting the things you may already know correct, and not get too worked up about learning knew topics you may have not covered. All I did to study was take two practice tests from the College Board’s study guide (make sure it’s the one with two tests) and brush up on topics I was a little rusty with. The book provides explanations for the answers, so you should take the first test and use the explanations to figure out what you need to study, then take the second test and see how much better you did. These two tests should cover pretty much all the topics, so you should be clear about what’s on the real test.</p>
