Math 1 vs Math 2

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Situation:</p>

<p>Just completed Algebra II Trig (finished junior year)</p>

<p>Should I--</p>

<p>A) Take the Math level 1 SAT this week
B) Study some precalc over summer, wait till October testing and Take Math 2
C) Take Math 1, and in october..take Math 2 (both)</p>

<p>I have read some forums and some people have been saying that colleges look down on Math I, (although i am in a lower math class than most of the ap/honors students). I am not aiming for top Ivy Leagues, but i am still aiming for sub-ivy schools, such as wash u. </p>

<p>So, which option should i choose (a, b, or c)?</p>

<p>Do top colleges (besides the UC system) look down on Math I subject test?</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance!</p>

<p>No one can say for sure that the top colleges look down on the Math I exam. You should only be wary of those colleges that specifically ask for the Math II exam.</p>

<p>If you manage to master precalc, and spend enough time practicing for the exam, Math II is the way to go.</p>

<p>I remember asking a Penn rep once, and she said that Math 1 & 2 are not treated differently for acceptance into Wharton. With that in mind, I would bet most colleges do not look down on Math I.</p>

<p>Look at the questions for each test and do what you’re comfortable with…</p>
