<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I have a question concerning a study plan for the two math subject tests. Some people told me that if I take both Math 1 and 2 I should study and take practice tests only from Math II since it covers all Math I's material. They said that if I get a good score on Math II I will also get a good score on Math I. I am not sure that this is the case. </p>
<p>Is their claim right?</p>
<p>I will rephrase my question: should I study for both Math I & II seperately, together, or just for Math II because it covers Math I exam?</p>
<p>Have you taken any other subject tests? I’ve never really understood why someone would take both, unless they’re completely unsure which they’d do better in. Most colleges only look at Math I OR Math II, and will prefer that you take subject tests in two separate subjects. </p>
<p>But to answer your question, a high score on Math II doesn’t mean you’d get a high score on Math I, because Math II’s curve is much more lenient, and Math I’s questions, although covering less material, can be more tricky/difficult. </p>
<p>Technically, all the material covered in Math 2 would be enough for Math 1, but the question types are not exactly the same, and you should be familiarizing yourself with both tests. </p>
<p>I’ve only prepared for and taken Math 2, so I may be wrong on some points, so you probably want another opinion.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that although the Math II’s content is more difficult, the Math I’s actual questions are trickier. Also, like neekzg said, the curve for Math II is much more lenient – I omitted 1 and got 1 wrong and was still able to get an 800. I believe that for Math I, you must get all questions correct to get an 800.</p>
