SAT Math??

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Duke university states this:</p>

<p>Students using ACT for admission need to submit SAT Subject Tests or AP scores for foreign language and mathematics placement.</p>

<p>I'm not going into engineering(but am looking into business) but do I need to take Math I or Math II? Is there a huge difference? Is it kind of easy? I got 680 M on SAT and 35 on ACT Math, so what are my chances of doing good? Is this the same usual curve as SAT Math(-5=700), or is it different for subject tests? I can easily do some test prep books, but I need to seriously look into this for getting into some schools.</p>

<p>math 1 i heard is just like SAT m, same curve, whereas math2 u can miss up to 6ish and still get 800.. but its lil harder</p>

3

<p>Subject tests are completely different.
Unlike the Reasoning test, they test ability not reasoning.</p>

<p>For Math I, -1 is a 780.
For Math II, depending on the curve, -6 is still a 800.</p>

<p>Is it more about knowledge? I can take 4 subject tests in one test day, right? I don't know if I want to just take Spanish and Math in November. I might do the test standby in October if I have to. I'll definitely do some research in the book store with prep books, but sounds like I'm going to be taking Math 1 Only. But is Math II more about Calculus or Pre-Calc and Trig?</p>

5

<p>there's no calculus... lol. pre-calc maybe! some trig, some coordinate geometry, algebra, arithmetic, etc</p>

<p>Most colleges want Math 2 scores...even if you're not doing engineering, I believe</p>

<p>Really? So maybe I should do Math I and Math II in the same day? I can do that though, right? Take 4 subject tests in one day? They just put me in one room and have the materials ready for each student(ie the listening part of the spanish SAT subject test).</p>

7

<p>you can only take 3 subject tests in one day</p>

8

<p>No, the max you can take a day is 3.
Listening tests are only given in November.</p>

<p>Math II topics include: Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, and Trig</p>

<p>Listening tests only in November? Do colleges require that you take the listening test with any language test? I think I'll definitely take both Math tests, but I might also have a shot with the US History Subject Test, so I might do that in December if necessary. Maybe it would be better if I only take Math II and not Math I? What do you guys think?</p>

10

<p>I don't think it's necessary to take boto Math I and II...
I mean, they're the same subject.~
colleges always say they can admit any mixture. it's all depends on u.</p>

<p>Does Harvard require Math II ?</p>
