<p>I just took another practice SAT 2 Math Level II exam from my barrons prep book, and my aw score was 23/50, ouch, yeah, I know. Most of the material is stuff I have never even seen before, and I'm just finishing precalc in my school. Is my school just slower than everyone else's? I try to review with the lessons in the the barrons book, but none of it makes sense to me, and I don't actually remember any of it well enough to use on a test. Should I switch to Math level 1, because I really don't want to get a bad score in June and have it there for colleges to see. I know barrons is supposed to be harder, but a 23/50 is bad for even a hard test. Should I give up on IIC, or whatever they call it these days?</p>
<p>Also, do colleges look more highly on the level 2 than on the level 1? The college board says that level one is suited for students with 3 years of high school math, and while I'm finihsing my fourth, I don't know half the material on Level 2, and I usually get most of the level 1 questions right on the CB website, so it makes the most sense to switch to level 1 for the june test, is there any reason I shouldn't?</p>
<p>colleges look more favorably upon the Math 2C, unless you score poorly on it.</p>
<p>Math IIC is only designated to go up to Pre-Calculus, and seeing as there's probably only one month left in school, your school is probably slower than everyone else, or may not have covered the material well enough. </p>
<p>Barrons is hard, but you shouldn't consider taking the 2C with a 23/50 (unless, of course, you are willing to learn from your mistakes and work on it).</p>
<p>This is my opinion.</p>
<p>Thanks mashi</p>
<p>And by the way, i'm applying to colleges as a history major, so it's not like I'm trying to portray math as my biggest strongsuit. Do other people agree that despite the level one not being regaraded as highly, I should take it instead of level 2, on which I will inevitably get a low score?</p>
<p>Well.. if you know that you won't score highly, it makes more sense to take Math IC, especially if you don't plan to pursue a math-related major/career. Math IIC may look better, but a low IIC score can't match with a high IC.</p>
