SAT Math I & Math II: When to take?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>My D is currently a sophomore in high school and currently taking Pre AP Calculus. She will be a junior next year and will take AP Calculus. She is interested in applying to competitive colleges so when should she take the SAT Math I & II Subject tests? I have heard that some colleges will not accept SAT Subject tests taken as a sophomore. BTW, she's not planning on majoring in math for college.</p>

<p>It’s probably best not to take both Math I, II (better to take one or the other, plus another subject test). The best time to take a math subject test can vary, but I recommend taking it after finishing pre-calculus.</p>

<p>Thanks, then which one should she take? She’s taken- 7th: Pre AP Algebra I, 8th: Pre AP Geometry, 9th: Pre AP Algebra II, 10th: Pre Ap Pre Calculus. Would she be ready for the Math II at the end of Pre Cal?</p>

<p>She should be ready; math II only covers math up to pre-calculus. It might have an occasional question on finding the limit of a function (which is sometimes first covered in calculus) but limits questions on math II are pretty straightforward.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
