Subject test: Math I or II?

Test Preparation

<p>Does it matter which math subject you take? Would II look better than I?</p>

<p>if you’re decent at math and are aiming to get 800, then you’d have an easier time taking the II (you can miss more questions and still get an 800). i don’t know if it looks better-- it probably does, but i’m not sure.</p>

4

<p>The UC’s only take Math II so I think it would look better.</p>

5

<p>Yes it does look better. Mudd specifically requires 2. Franklin W. olin RECOMENDS 2.
and if u are good at math, take 2 ( like shen said)
I took math 1 and regret taking it instead of 2</p>

6

<p>If you are applying for engineering, math, and probably science, then the math II is the better choice. I was told by someone who should know that it doesn’t matter if you aren’t applying for some quantitative field.</p>

7

<p>If you have completed precalc, take M2 since it has a better “curve” and the material will be more fresh. In general, liberal arts programs don’t care which one you take, but enginering-tech-science programs definitely prefer M2.</p>

8

<p>Can you take both and pick the best out of the two? Or would that be a waste of time?</p>

9

<p>sure you can take both, but likely a waste of time. If you can score well on M2, take it.</p>

10

<p>Does the Math II just have trig/precalc? Or do you need some knowledge of BC as well?</p>

11

<p>just precalc…</p>
