So... which one is better?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Ok, well, I really want to apply to several schools:
MIT
Stanford
Yale
Harvard
Princeton</p>

<p>Well, the main question i have is do these schools prefer math level 2 (for the subject tests) as opposed to 1? I am curious because, quite frankly, I have tried the practice math level 2 and do not feel too hopeful about scoring high on it... which scares me as I always thought I was good at math. anyways, as I was saying I was curious because I feel confident I can do better on the math level 1. I realize MIT said they will accept both, but does anyone know if they prefer or look better on one?</p>

2

<p>Math 2. Because: Math 1 = SAT Math, which in this case is pretty low level.</p>

3

<p>Math II is the route almost all math/science oriented kids go.</p>

<p>I’m sure you’ll do fine. My friend took it sophomore year after taking Algebra II and she got a 780.</p>

<p>At the same time, don’t screw yourself by going and getting like a 600 on Math II. If the choice is between a 600 on Math II and a 750+ on Math I, go with Math I. Usually, after taking Precalculus, you should be able to do rather well on Math II.</p>

<p>You should also keep in mind that the curve on the Math II is more generous, at the expense of percentile rank.</p>

<p>I took several practice tests for Math II and was expecting 680-720 but I came away with an 800, so don’t be too worried.</p>

<p>Also, how many years of math courses you’'ve taken should also be an influential factor in your decision. If you’ve taken precal, you’ll likely do better on the Math II exam.</p>
