<p>I did atrociously on the Math SAT Level 2 and think that even if I take it again I won't do THAT much better, but I have a feeling I could do very well on the Math SAT level 1. Given that the colleges already see my horrible SAT Math Level 2 score, would they disregard it if I did well on the Math Level 1 or do I need to take Math Level 2 again to make up for it?</p>
<p>I desperately need a response soon - so if anyone can offer me an answer. Please do. Thanks.</p>
<p>If your math Level 2 is that bad then do take the level. Most colleges accept either. If you can take both.</p>
<p>I don't know if they will disregard it, but it doesn't hurt to take the Level 1 and get a god score</p>
<p>I guess my question is -- what is better?</p>
<p>Having a 540 SAT Math I! C and a >700 Math I C</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>taking over the SAT Math II C and getting probably around a 650</p>
<p>650 still isnt that great for competitive schools. i suggest you really study your ass off for that math 2 if you take it...make sure you are confident with the material because if you mess up the sat math iic that wont look good at all</p>
<p>I'm in same situation...deciding on 1c or 2c...from today's practice exams...1c score - 760 .. 2c score - 680 - which one should I take? I'm more confident w/ 1c..2c I struggled with and left a lot blank.</p>
<p>Is 720 on Math 2 okay?</p>
<p>what test prep materials do you recommend to study for IIC?</p>
<p>paungle: 720 is fine. anything above 700 is pretty good.</p>
<p>kchen: i would recommend barron's...it's more challenging than the exam itself and might drive you crazy, but hey, it gave me an 800. :) if math is your weak point though you might not want barron's...it could stress you out too much.</p>
<p>amlariul: thanks. i just bought the barron's book. math isn`t my weak point (more like english), but i know i can still improve. thanks again =)</p>
<p>Oh amlariul, your reply is very nice indeed; much more so than many I see on here, and I certainly do hope you're right!
Congrats on the 800 btw! =)</p>
<p>muchas gracias. ^^v yea i hate the people who post flames. i mean hellooo...i think we're all kinda stressed out right now...don't need to make it worse for some poor panicky guy with a derogatory comment...</p>
<p>If you know Precalc you should have no problem with the Math IIC. It is much more lenient than the IC. I bought the PR book and looked it over. Thought it was pretty simple stuff so just didnt bother studying and still did pretty well.</p>
<p>btw I dislike the Barrons book. Use that if you are over obsessive and wants to over prepare. Some of the math in there was pretty difficult compared to the actual ones.</p>
<p>I feel like an idiot......i took physics, math level 2 and level 1......how nerdy can i get.....attempted to take world history but chickened out.....what else can i take?</p>
<p>What's better to report? I score well on Math I and Math II and got the same score. Is it better to report the higher percentile Math I or the more challenging Math II, if I need to pick one to put on the application.</p>
<p>put iic, ic is cake if you are past precalc all it tests is how well you can repeately do problems without messing up. (and SAT I does a good job of that too)</p>
<p>i got a 720 on the level 2, but thats like 74 percentile :-(</p>
<p>math one is HARD to get a good score on, cuz the scale is like non-exsistent</p>
<p>I took math 1 and didn't do as well as I expected...you can only miss a few questions and still get a "good" score.</p>
<p>parikhs, i got the similar scores on the real test (680 IIC, 750 IC with 2 questions omitted). 2 omitted = 50 points is insane so basically you need to get nearly every question righ to get a competitive ivy-level score of 750+.</p>
