Math 1 or Math 2

<p>I signed up for the Nov Math 2 but in looking at the prep book, Math 1 looks much easier. Thoughts on these 2 tests? Math has not been my strong suit on the SAT.</p>

<p>If you’re aiming to impress do Math 2.</p>

<p>Some schools may require you to take Math 2, such as the University of California; so for some of the schools you’re applying to, you don’t have a choice between them. </p>

<p>The material covered on the Math 1 exam is less than that covered on the Math 2 exam, but I’ve heard they can be harder/tricker, and the curve is definitely much more brutal. The Math 2 curve is very lenient.</p>

<p>A lower score on the SAT Math II will look better than a higher score on the Math I.</p>

<p>^This is most likely true, despite the fact that the percentile for the Math II would be lower.</p>

<p>Math IIC’s curve is very lenient (due to the higher level of math covered), so getting a respectable score on that test is a bit easier (750+, or the coveted 800) than Math I.</p>
