Math I or II

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Which one is better for admission Math I or II? MIT says any one of the math....but how can they be equal? Math I is a child's play compared to Math II. Though I have 780 in both,I am going to retake any one of these in October to get 800. Can anyone tell me are they really considered equal or not?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>PS: I am going to take Physics & Chemistry in October too.....so I will choose either I or II. I am confused. Cause Math I will lessen my load.</p>

<p>If you retake Math I you may still get a 780 or a 790 with only one answer wrong/skipped. If you do Math II, you could get an 800 with maybe 3-4 wrong answers.</p>

<p>Math II looks better, and the weight is much, much better than math I, as mentioned by semaphore12. Definitely math II.</p>

<p>Math 2 is better. But please do not retake for 800, you might get rejected from MIT for retaking because you could come off as a perfectionist. You won’t survive at MIT with that attitude.</p>

5

<p>Math II definitely. In reality, it’s only a tiny bit harder than Math I (as long as you know up to pre-calculus and know it well).</p>

<p>SAT Subject Math II.</p>

<p>Agree completely with Dr. Google. contrary to public opinion, you dont need 800s on SAT IIs to get into MIT.</p>

<p>Isn’t MIT score choice anyway though? I have heard that 750 there essentially equals 800 though.</p>

<p>Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I am gonna take Physics & chemistry than.</p>

<p>But I have another question though.
I really want to go to MIT. But I am afraid I don’t have enough ECAs[Only couple of National awards]. I will also apply to Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth & Brown and some other universities…intended major computer science. Now as some of them are liberal arts college will it be helpful if I take Biology E/M or Literature. I am asking cause it seemed 3 subject tests are more than enough. But I am quite confused as I saw some successful applicants’ profile has up to even 9 subject tests.</p>

<p>Thanks again</p>

<p>PS : Can anybody experienced with admission advising here give me some time??</p>
