<p>Why does it seem that everyone takes Math II rather than Math I?</p>
<p>Can you take both and send both scores?</p>
<p>Many top tier schools require IIC(Stanford) and would like a subject test in math/science and another in humanity. If you are undecided on which major, it is most efficient to take SAT II in Math IIC, Chemistry (or bio), then English or History.</p>
<p>math II covers much more difficult topics. if you haven't finished precalc, don't consider taking it... i'd even go so far as to say that you should only think about taking it if you finished precalc honors with at least an A-. math I is easier but the curve is a monster.</p>
<p>^^^not true....i never took precalc, just Trigonometry, and studied off of Barron's and got a 780....not a great score, but good nonetheless</p>
<p>Wharton requires Math II I believe</p>
<p>Precalc is often synonymous with trigonometry.</p>
<p>i didn't take pre calc at all when i took math II and i pulled a 780. i retook of course for the 800 ^___^V</p>
<p>^ That was unnecessary. But yes, Math II has a way more lenient curve (You can leave 6-7 blank and still get 800) compared to Math I which is almost as harsh as the curve for math in SAT I.</p>
<p>Math 2 - very nice curve, up to 6-7 mistakes and you still have 800 (may vary) + you just need to be solid w/ formulas (trig e.t.c.). Some might disagree, but Math 1 involves MORE logical thinking than 2, while 2 expects you to know the formulas and their usage and stuff. Math 1 curve is uglier - 1-2 mistakes and you don't get 800.</p>
<p>The formulas shouldn't be much of a problem. Just plug them into a program in your calculator.</p>
