<p>I'm definately not a math person, but I hear for UC schools you are required to take a math SAT subject test. Do they prefer mathIIc?</p>
<p>Regardless of whether I take mathI or IIc, I predict I'll get somewhere in low to mid 600's on either test. </p>
<p>Would getting a score like that on the math subject test significantly lower my chance of admissions at Berkeley even if I had a 2300 SAT and other subject tests 750+, as well as a 4.3 UC GPA?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>they only accept Math IIC
Engineering major- math IIC is a must.</p>
<p>It is not a blanket requirement to have to take a subject test in Math. </p>
<p>The UC system asks that you take two subject tests, but does not dictate that one must be math. If you do choose math, it has to be the level 2 version. They only look at your two highest subject tests, as well, which means if you score horribly on math but well on two others, you are fine. </p>
<p>If you expect to underperform on the IIc test even though you did well on the math portion of the regular SAT, don't bother taking it. If you have two 750+ subject tests already, those are all that count.</p>
<p>l&s doesn't care which which two SAT subjects tests you take as long as they are from separate categories. You could take a language and lit and get 800s on both or you could take math2 and physics and get 800s on both, and L&S won't differentiate.</p>
<p>yes .</p>
<p>Seems like you did pretty well on the SAT I Math portion... For me, I did much much better on the SAT II Math IIC. I personally thought it was easier than the math on the SAT I lol </p>
<p>So who knows, you may do well on the Math IIC considering you did well on your SAT I Math...</p>
<p>^^^ Haha, um no, I definitely won't.</p>
<p>I'm a junior who hasn't taken precalculus yet, so there is no way I can do well on math IIc.</p>
