Math IC & Math IIC

<p>I need two SAT subject tests for the colleges I want in. If I take Math level 1 and math level 2, are those considered two subject tests or only one? Because I read somewhere around here that they were like 1 only, and I need to know whether I should substitute one of the Maths for a Biology.</p>

<p>If it says, “two subject tests required” with no other specifications, then yes I would say Math I and Math II are separate. But is there a good reason to take both?</p>

<p>There is no reason to take both. Save some money and only take the Math Level II. Math Level II has a more generous curve. I took Math I when I was a freshman and got a 680, but I got a 780 on Math Level II when I took it as a junior. Try to take another subject test. Biology works. </p>

<p>Honestly, the only reason I’d take both if because it would be easier for me. Do you think it would give college admissions look down on me because I took two maths instead of a Math IIC and another subject? It’s just English isn’t my mother tongue, so learning subjects is a lot harder for me. I tried my biology workbook, and honestly I had to try and learn everything with an open dictionary next to me. I’m going to be taking the SATs in May so I’ve been wondering whether a month for Math IIC and Biology E would be enough to prepare. </p>

<p>And I’ve already gone through two Math IC workbooks, meaning if I took the two Maths I’d have more time to prepare for the Math IIC, which is turning out difficult for me as well since some of the stuff I haven’t learnt in school yet… at least that’s the way I see it :confused: Just taking the easy road, I guess.</p>

<p>Don’t take Math1 and Math2 (Omit the C, that is so outdated). Schools would only consider them as 1 subject. On the other hand, Math1 has a horrible curve. If you are doing pre-calc at school, go for Math2 and you are likely to get a better score.</p>

<p>Math IIC is not that hard to do well on if you study hard. I guess that could be said for any test, though. I’d just take the II.</p>
