<p>Does studying for Math Level 2 get you prepared for Math Level 1 also?</p>
<p>The reason I'm asking this is because I only have access to the Barron's Math Level 2 prep book, but I'm still taking the Math Level 1 test.</p>
<p>What do you plan to study & why are you taking the Math 1 test? My S did MUCH better on Math 2 than Math 1–they cover different topics & the curve is much more generous on the Math 2 test. It is expected for people who will be studying math/science. S only found that out after he had taken the Math 1 test, so he had to take the math 2 instead & did much better. He went into engineering.</p>
<p>I just need some subject test scores to get into my college. It doesn’t matter which subject I take, so I’m taking what I could manage. I’m taking Biology along with Math (Still undecided on if I should take both or just 1.)</p>
<p>Does the two math tests cover different areas?</p>
<p>Yes, look at good subject matter books about the SAT II tests and you can see by the table of contents that the tests cover different materials. The Math 2 test covers mostly pre-calculus. Not sure what the Math 1 covers.</p>
<p>What do you plan to study. IF you plan to go into math/science/tech, you will be expected to take Math 2 & they would ignore your Math 1 score anyway. After S had already taken the Math 1 test, the HS counselor asked him why he had taken it as most schools aren’t all that interested in student results from that exam.</p>
<p>Ask your counselor if it would be good for you to also taken a social studies SAT subject test. I believe S too US history. Your HS counselor should be able to help guide you so you don’t take unneeded tests and DO take those that will help your app.</p>
