<p>If someone gets a high score in Math IIc can one assume he/she will also get a high score in SAT I Math? For example, will 800 in Math IIc mean a good chance of a 800 on SAT I Math.</p>
<p>It will great to hear the correlation from people who have taken both these tests.</p>
<p>not necessarily... i got 800 on sat I math, but 760 on sat II math... sat II math you need to know some dumb math... like trigonometry and precalculus (I've never taken trig and precalc I slept through)... sat II math is more studyable... if you work at it you can improve your score and probably get 800... sat I it's pretty hard to improve your score once you are in the 700 range just because you will always make stupid mistakes</p>
<p>I got 800s on both, but SAT I math appears to be far riskier. Pretty much everyone that I know who's into math got an 800 Math IIc, but lots of people make stupid mistakes on the SAT I and fail to get 800s (even when they easily know the material). The IIc gives an absurd amount of leeway (like, you can miss 6-7 and get an 800), while the SAT I usually gives no leeway at all.</p>
<p>"dumb math... like trigonometry and precalculus"</p>
<p>How exactly is that "dumb math?"</p>
<p>790 SAT I Math March.
800 SAT I Math June.</p>
<p>720 SAT II Math May.</p>
<p>I guess I am an anomaly. Retaking IIC in Oct. :)</p>
<p>There is very little correlation between SAT I and SAT II Math. The scores in one of them cannot be an indication of what one will get in the other one.</p>

<p>I, like randomperson, got 800s on both. I found the SAT I math to be tricker than the IIc math. Also the curve is more difficult for SAT I, so if anything (normally), I would think one would do better on IIC than on the SAT I math.</p>
<p>well, precalc is basically pointless, at least at my school. We used none of precalculus in calculus BC. Isn't that the entire point of preclac, to prep you for calculus? Trig is all just memorization. It's not really math skills. Anything that you can put a bunch of programs in your calculator for (not to actually do problems, but store identities) is stupid IMO. Also, I found that for most of those problems you can just plug answers. Although that takes forever. If you are going to put trig and precalc on math IIc, just put in calculus instead, because that's the pinnacle of American high school math.</p>
