<p>I'm currently taking all the hard math classes I can (I'm taking AP Calc BC right now but might drop to AB).. But I REALLY don't like math (i'm more of a history/art person.. not even English, just history/Art person) but I read that Math IIC has higher average because of all the nice curves...</p>
<p>So I don't like math but took all the necessary classes.. Should I just take Math IIC instead of Math IC although it's harder just for the higher curves? Or should I just take MAth Ic with stuff I'm MORE comfortable with and make higher grade on my own?</p>
<p>Also.. Is SAT II math easier than SAT I math? My bro told me that SAT II math was easier (he took Math IIC.. he LOVES math.. maybe that's why) can anybody verify that?</p>
<p>P.S. just to add on... If i took Korean with listening will it be good for anything? I'm Korean btw.. but I came to US when I was like 8-9 and on the SAT II they ask if u came after u are 10.. I was smart enough to remember the whole language instead of forgetting it like most ppl... I dunno, if I took it it would be a really easy test for me (like you guys would be taking English test.. and they would be asking really easy questions)</p>
<p>Also, is US history test really easy? (I heard it's easier than the AP test.. I got 3 on my AP test, but pretty sure I could've gotten 4 if i didn't mess up the 2nd essay.. plus I missed a semester of that class n still managed to pass the AP test) I'm going to take that as well.... thanx!</p>
<p>You might want to take a look at the SATII requirements of the particular schools you're applying to; some will accept either MathIC or IIC, while others specify MathIIC.</p>
<p>Try reviewing the SATII Math for both tests you're considering & see how you do with both. Also, you can look at the SAT II US History test & see how that goes for you as well; my son got a 770 for the test & 4 for the AP test. (It's easier to take closer in time to when you studied the material.)
Sounds like you should do very well on the Korean test & it could be helpful.</p>
<p>Vman51... However, I'm good at geometry and suck alot in algebra.. I was getting A's in my honor geometry class until we started doing algebra reviews... But really, I'm guessing IC has less algebra thing going on?</p>
<p>go to barnes and noble, look at two study guides (preferrably from the same company), one for the IC, another for the IIC...see what looks better to you...</p>
<p>just keep in mind wth the IIC, you could get like 7 questions wrong, and still get an 800...the curve is reall nice...</p>
<p>Def take Math 2 -- you will have forgotten a lot of stuff on the Math 1 test, and it drops ~ 30 points with every missed answer. But, to be sure, get ahold of CB's SAT Subject Test practice book, and try a practice test from each Math level. In an hour or two, you'll know which test will give you the highest potential score.</p>
<p>fwiw: the UC's will no longer accept Math 1.</p>
<p>the UC's don't require Math 2 as one of the two required subject tests. But, if someone wants to take a Math subject test, it must be Math 2 - they won't even look at Math 1, and will reject any app that only has Math 1 + one other subject test.</p>
<p>I think the UC rationale is that Alg II problems are now included on the SAT I math.</p>
<p>Wow, thanks for that nice piece of info, blubayou (although I'm not even going to try out for UC's anymore since I'm out of state) I guess I'll take math IIC...</p>
