Math IC vs Math SAT Reasoning

<p>Can one score make up for the other? Particularly, can a 700+ Math I Subject Test score make up for a 600's Math SAT score?</p>

<p>no is the only way i can put it sorry</p>

<p>700-750 for a math subject test is average(not super good) and even if u had 800 i dont think it would make up for it</p>

<p>consider retaking?</p>

<p>Don't listen to dude.
Although your scores are contradictory,
Math I requires a whole lot of pacing and thinking ability;
the content is also more difficult.
I'm sure they'll weigh it more seriously.
However, DO take the SAT Is again, if you can.</p>

<p>Top caliber schools prefer Math II, by the way.</p>

<p>Thanks kwu. Unfortunately yesterday was my last SAT Reasoning take... I have to retake SAT Subject tests in January so that's why I am considering Math I or II. </p>

<p>The thing about Math II is that I'm only in precalculus honors now. I'm wondering if that's enough. I just want some way to help de-emphasize the idea that I am just bad at math...</p>

<p>i am not being mean i am being honest which is more helpful than liars who just try to make u feel good the truth of the matter is that most of the applicants are going to have above 700 in both which automatically puts them above u in that regard</p>

<p>that being said i am not saying u dont have a shot because they might accept u if everything else on ur app is really good, test scores are not everything, but should they accept u it will have nothing to do with ur satii canceling out ur lower math score</p>

<p>my advice is shoot for the math ii in jan i took it when i was still in precal and got 800</p>

<p>How did you prepare for the math II? Do you think two months is enough to prepare for the Math II 700+ while I'm in precal... I just looked at some practice questions.. oh my they are hard. </p>

<p>I mean, by your logic.. there are plenty of people with SAT I Math 700+ scores too, it doesn't mean you shouldn't try to get it yourself? I suppose the same is for the subject test. I am just wondering if getting a 700+ in the subject test will help my case.</p>

<p>I mean, by your logic.. there are plenty of people with SAT I Math 700+ scores too, it doesn't mean you shouldn't try to get it yourself?</p>

<p>i dont understand the question???</p>

<p>and it took me like two weeks of independent study on math ii because a lot of the stuff wasnt covered in my class but math has always been my strong suit sry if im jumping to conclusions if i say it might not be urs but two months should be enough if ur dedicated</p>

<p>speaking of math tests...
i have taken subject tests twice. first round, i took bio (740) us history (750) and math II (600). second time, i took literature (700) and math I (640). princeton only requires 3 sat subject tests, but they say they will look at them all. do you think that the bad scores in the math II and math I are going to hurt, even though i have 700+ on the other three?</p>

<p>where did u find nemo?</p>

<p>hm thats a good question... i'd assume they'd only really consider your 3 highest, even though they can see the others. hopefully they'll just realize youre not super-strong in math and wont penalize you for it.</p>

<p>yeah i guess it doesn't help that my math grades from 9th and 10th grade are my lowest grades in highschool ever. ohwell</p>
