Math 2 vs Math 1, question@@@@@@

<p>Ok I was planning to take the Math 2 tomorrow but I’m kinda having second thoughts, I never really got enough time to study/aren’t doing that great only getting about a 600 each time or so…</p>

<li><p>I know the Math 2 curve is pretty good, compared to the math 1. However do colleges look at say a 650 math 1 the same as a 650 math 2? </p></li>
<li><p>If they look at the math 2 in a more positive light, how much of a difference in the scores would be til it is equal, like say would a 650 math 2 be looked at the same was as a 700 math 1? </p></li>
<li><p>I have not studied at all by a math 1 practice book, and I am an average guy who has scored 680 and 650 on the regular sat math. Based on this, and that I will be using a TI-89 calculator what would you guess my score would be for the Math <em>1</em>, if I am averaging about a 600 on the Math 2?</p></li>
<li><p>Also on the math 1 what are the topics, kinds of questions that are on it, or any trick questions I should look out for. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>SOrry for a long read and probably the 50th topic on math 2/math1
Thanks for your help, looking for as many opinions as possible.</p>

<p>I would recommend staying with the Math 2 - for one, you have been preparing for it, and two, it has a much better curve than the Math 1. My younger brother took the SAT II Math 1 as a 7th grader (just to see how he would do) and probably answered 2-3 questions wrong - he got a 730. On the other hand, I took the SAT II Math 2, probably answered the same number incorrectly (give or take a few) and received an 800.</p>

<p>Stick with what you are comfortable with - you have the format and concepts down for the Math 2, so stick with it. It is never a good idea anyway, to switch tests right before the exam. It can mess with your test psyche.</p>

<p>anyone else</p>

<p>take both its just 8 extra dollars im taking both!</p>

<p>I had the same problem as you. I scored 710 on SAT I. I scored a 720 on SAT II - Ic Math. I scored a 660 on IIc Math. I decided to to take IIc and I'm just cramming right now by taking a few IIc tests and looking at the sections I'm weak at. Hope my decision helps you make yours ;P</p>

<p>If I had the choice to take both I would but I'm already taking the max of three tests (Bio + Chinese also)</p>
