<p>Do schools view them the same? Or is Math II viewed as more impressive because it's more difficult? </p>
<p>I'm not sure which I should take in the fall. Can you take both on the same day?</p>
<p>Math II is always considered superior since it is at a higher level math.</p>
<p>MIT says they will accept either while Caltech says they will accept only Math II and same goes for HPME program at Northwestern and some engineering schools like Duke’s Pratt.</p>
<p>Colleges generally display higher preference to Math Level 2 because it covers high school math up to Pre-Calculus. It is not necessary difficult if you understand the math concepts and how the test works. Math Level 1 only covers Algebra I and II and Geometry. Math Level 2 has a better curve. Some pre-calculus topics aren’t always tested rigorously in the exam, like Polar Coordinates, Conics, Vectors, etc.</p>
<p>I talked to an admissions officer and he said that doing math 1 AND Math II is redundant. Choose one of them</p>
