SAT II Math - Level 1 vs Level 2

<p>Does anybody have a clear list of the topics tested on Level 2 but not tested on Level 1? Likewise, does anybody have a clear list of the topics tested on Level 1? What I find online are simply the percentages (e.g. 18% of the test is algebra on Level 1 v.s. 30% of the test is algebra on Level 1). </p>

<p>I am trying to decide which exam makes sense for me. My current math class is an advanced algebra 2 class that I think falls somewhere between Level 1 and Level 2. I'm interested in gauging how many topics I may need to study on my own if I were to try for Level 2. I know I would have to learn some trig. At the least, I want to make sure that I have everything covered for Level 1 if I end up going that route.</p>

<p>The IIC is really for people who have taken pre-calc/trig. Depending on your grade, I really think you should take the IIC after you complete your pre-calc/trig course. Math I is purely Algebra I/II + Geometry based. It’s easy for you, but most colleges won’t accept it. I’d say learn pre-calc/trig and then take the II C.</p>

<p>^ First of all, there is no longer a Math IIC but just a Math2. Second, I don’t believe any school would not accept Math1 score. Nevertheless, Math2 is usually preferred or recommended for Science or engineering major.</p>

<p>Regarding OP’s question, you may find the answer in wikipedia or the official CB site.

<p>Thanks for the links billcsho.</p>

<p>If I am correct, then the differences are:</p>

<p>Math I has Plane Euclidean geometry but Math II does not. (What exactly does that mean? No 2-dimensional geometry questions in Math II? For example, nothing about triangles, squares, or circles? Nothing about parallel lines with a transversal?)</p>

<p>The following topics are on Math II but not Math I it seems: series and vectors; logs; piecewise functions; trig and inverse trig functions; recursive functions; parametric functions; elipses; hyperbolas; polar coordinates; law of sines and law of cosines; radians; double angle formulas (?); coordinates in 3-dimensions; standard deviation; and quadratic and exponential least squares regression.</p>
