Should I take SAT Math Level 1 or 2?

<p>Precalulus:
1st semester: C
2nd semester: F</p>

<p>Should I take SAT Math level 1 or 2? Please help.</p>

<p>Level 1. If you’re not comfortable with pre-calc material, you should not take level 2.</p>

<p>I agree. Level 1, since your precalc is that weak</p>

<p>I think you should take level 0.</p>

<p>Take neither. Quit high school.</p>

<p>If the aforementioned is not a plausible option, I would recommend Math I.</p>

<p>Take Level 1, because Level 2 does cover some precalculus material, and if you do not do well in the class, it is likely you will not do well on the math IIC.
Better if you take Math I and receive a higher score then take Math II and get a devastating score.</p>

<p>What are the big differences between math I and II? And do colleges differentiate subsantially between the two?</p>

<p>Math II covers Pre-Calculus, whereas Math I does not. Math II has a more lenient curve than Math I. Colleges tend to favor Math II, as it is a more comprehensive test.</p>

<p>What a mean response. :(</p>

<p>In Math 2, you can miss 6± 2 and still get an 800. The only thing is that it contains a few trig problems.</p>

<p>Math 1 is easier, but you have to get them all right to get an 800.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is not correct. Very rarely can you miss six and get an 800. A safe number to miss for the perfect score would be 4. Missing eight most definitely does not warrant an 800.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is also not correct. Many times you can miss one question on Math I and still get an 800.</p>

<p>Actually, you can miss around 6 to get an 800 on Math II.</p>

<p>^ Usually not. You can, however, omit 6 and often end up with 800.</p>

<p>^ Thank you once again for the air-support, silverturtle.</p>

<p>Take II and get a review book and look at the precalc in that prior to the test. The precalc in it isn’t hard and the rest of the II test is easier than the I test. Also, II has a more forgiving scale and looks more difficult to colleges.</p>

<p>*basically what anxiousapp said</p>

<p>Alright. Thank you very much for your help. Roughly, what percentage of the Math II test contains Precaluclus?</p>

<p>You might not want to take either… it doesn’t look like math is a natural skill of yours D: . For the most part, almost all colleges require or recommend only 2 SAT II’s. Have you considered taking other subjects, possibly History, Lit, or a science? If not, I would agree with the others and say that you should study Math II really hard to do well on it. Good luck</p>

<p>I’m definitely taking Lit. History and science = unlikely I will do well. I heard physics is hard, and I only took physics honors. And history, i’m not good with memorization of dates and such. How long is a decent amount of studying for Math II? I don’t have that much time, unfortunately.</p>

<p>The nice thing about the Physics test is that is the most curved out of ALL SAT subject tests (I think if you get like a 59/75 you may get an 800). My friend took physics H his freshman year and ended up getting a 620 on the real thing as a junior. He studied 1-2 weeks before his test.</p>

<p>Hah don’t worry I did horrible on my World History one, I wouldn’t really recommend taking it if you’re hesitant, like I was. I got a 500 on it I think… it was horrible. For Math II, I would recommend at LEAST a month to study for it. I took it in June and studied about 2 months before it. A week before the test I would take 2 practice tests everyday, which included learning and correcting what I got wrong. I ended up getting a 710 on it, so I was very happy to reach the 700+ marking. I hear that the Lit test is kinda like the SAT I Critical Reading? I haven’t taken that though.</p>

<p>Thank you so much. I’m now considering Physics. I’m wondering, though… I only took Physics Honors. My friend took AP physics, and got a decent score. I guess I just have to study hard. How did your friend do in physics honors? (grade: A? B?)</p>
