I hadn’t planned on taking the SAT subject tests as many west coast colleges no longer require them. But I will now be applying to Cornell and possibly a few other Ivy League colleges that require 2 subject tests. Do you think it matters if I take Math Level 1 or 2?
Yes, you should take Math Level 2, especially since you mentioned in other threads an interest in applied math and economics.
Math level 2 definitely.
If you will have completed precalculus / trigonometry (or higher) by the time you take the test, take level 2. Otherwise, take level 1.
^ Agree.
Take level 2, no question.
