Take math II or not...

<p>Okay, I'm signed up to take the math II subject test on saturday. I have not been able to study very much and am thinking about not taking it. </p>

<p>On my UC application I said I was planning to take it, so will it affect my admission if I end up not taking the test? I already have taken US history and Biology E and did really well on those two, but I am applying as a Computer science major, so I thought the math II might be helpful...</p>

<p>Any help is appreciated!</p>

<p>It really isn’t that hard. I’m not in advanced math (I’m in Pre-calc as a senior, behind most students at my school). I ended up with a 770 and did no studying, plus I had a huge migraine the entire test. I have average grades and got 670 in math on SAT 1. What did you get on the SAT I math? If you did better than me you should be good just sleep early. I don’t think it is worth it not to skip since you put it on your application. They don’t trick you and give you all the formulas so it is pretty straightforward.</p>

<p>okay well I got a 630 on the math on SAT I. Interesting that you said it was fairly easy when a lot of people I know in more advanced classes said it was pretty hard.
Good job!</p>

<p>yeah i’m kind of in the same situation. i’m signed up to take the test this saturday but i don’t feel like i’m ready. i have barron’s and took the practice tests but got 740,730,720,660. <- those scores are in order and have been going down… i have no idea why. so idk if im gonna take it either…</p>

<p>if on barrons u got 700+ so many times i guarantee u an 800, dont cancel</p>

<p>Dude, a 700+ on Barron’s practice tests pretty much guarantees an 800.</p>

<p>hey brett837, i’m sitting for the subject tests this saturday and i too applied as a computer science major to berkeley! i have not taken the test yet. what i heard from my seniors is that the syllabus of math 2 is more than math 1, so u have to study more. however, they also say that it’s easier to score 800 in math 2 than in math 1.</p>

<p>okay thanks for the help everyone.</p>

<p>If I was to do a lot worse on the math II than my other two subject tests I’ve already taken, do I HAVE to send the scores? (Because on my UC app I said december math II was planned)</p>
