<p>AGH help! which subject test, level 1 or 2 should an only so-so math student take???
i have done well in precalc this year, like A's and B's but all the questions i have seen for Level 2 seem so hard!! my sat math is like a 650 so math is clearly not my strong subject. people say level 2 is scored on a easier scale, but would it help me????? i really dont want to get below a 650 or it could hurt my college app!!! what should i do? any prep advice for either??</p>
<p>GRADE INFLATIONS, lol
A's and B's but 650 on SAT I math and finding SAT II math hard???

no comment anymore. all i have to say is stick to 1c and be meticulous in circling the bubbles and reading the questions</p>
<p>Just try IIC, its easier than you think. If you dont like it then take IC but I really think you should try IIC. Oh, supposedly the review tests are ALOT harder than the real thing so dont rely on that. Just pretend its like SAT I math without any trick questions...</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Most schools aren't too thrilled w/ the 1c i believe, at least competitive ones. If you're worried about getting a low score, take both. Although they will show up on the transcript, you don't have to put them on your app if you don't want.</p>
<p>lots of schools don't even require a math sat ii do they? i didn't take one and got into multiple top 20 schools.</p>
<p>I thought they were going to get rid of IC soon? Wait...now I'm confused...is this not true?</p>
<p>Many schools will not accept the IC, including all the UC's. definately take IIC. You can omit half and still get a 630.</p>
<p>The University of California system and a few other engineering programs will not accept the Math Level 1 (the new name for the IC). But most schools still gladly accept it.</p>
<p>I agree, though, that you should give the Math Level 2 a shot. It's a much harder test on a raw level, but it is scaled more leniently so that a 700 on Math 1 means the same as a 700 on Math 2.</p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://www.compassprep.com/subject_tests%5B/url%5D">http://www.compassprep.com/subject_tests</a> for schools that require Math Level 2 (or Subject Tests at all).</p>
<p>you can get sooo many wrong on the math 2c and still get an 800...I think last time it was like 7 or 8. you should definately go for the 2c...just study your trig. and functions and other pre calc stuff and you'll be fine!</p>
