<p>So, in terms of question difficulty/thinking ability, which test do you guys think is hardest? Now, I'm not asking for what one is easiest to score well on (we all know the answer to that), but general test difficulty.</p>
<p>sorry but isn't this a no brainer? the math 2 of course...</p>
<p>disregarding the fact that it's "easier" to score well, math 2 covers the most 'advanced' concepts...</p>
<p>Math 2 covers more curriculum than SAT1 math. However, the problem style is the same. If you know the curricular material well, the difficulty is the same.</p>
<p>Math 2 > Math 1 = SAT I Math</p>
<p>it depends on the test taker. my friend did better on math 2 than on math 1 while a different friend of mine vice versa</p>
<p>Reasoning math only includes a handful of Alg II problems.</p>
<p>Math 2 includes trig & precalc problems.</p>
<p>Subject Math 1 is not the same as the regular SAT math: fewer "puzzle"-like questions and more factual have-you-seen-this questions. E.g., there are a few basic trig questions, you may need the quadratic formula, and basic questions about ellipses.</p>
<p>Subject math level 2 adds:</p>
<p>hyperbolas
polar coordinates
3-D coordinates
radians
law of sines/cosines
more trig, e.g. sec, cot, sin(A+B), inverses
logarithms</p>
<p>vectors (minor)
limits (minor)
stdev (minor)</p>
<p>But, no plane geometry on math 2!</p>
<p>Math IC < Math Reasoning < Math IIC</p>
<p>I got a worse score in Math Reasoning than in Math II. But that probably has something to do with being in calculus. If you know the stuff on Math II, then it will be easier for you than Math Reasoning because its fresher in your memory. If you aren't at that level yet, Math Reasoning will probably be easier.</p>
<p>Math IIC is the hardest- it's super tricky. It's just like the Reasoning test, but it deals with Reasoning of a higher level, including Trig, Higher level geometry, and Algebra 2.. i'll tell you a secret. this test is easier to study for than the others.! </p>
<p>math 1c was easy for me. 760. math reasoning test = 730. sooo. yeah =) </p>
<p>math 2 c > math reasoning test > math 1c</p>
<p>I thought Math 2 was harddddd. I cancelled my score! And I have a 780 SAT reasoning math score. I took pre-cal this year and didn't feel prepared for the test. I didn't know how to do quite a few of the problems.</p>
<p>Does it matter which one you take for college? Will colleges, perhaps, weight math 2 differently as they weigh math one?</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m afraid I might miss some questions on math 2. I can probably ace math 1.</p>
<p>Colleges don’t care about Math I. Take Math II.</p>
<p>Although Math II is harder than Math I, it’s a lot easier to score well on Math II because they give you a huge leeway (like 8 questions wrong) for an 800.</p>
