<p>I know that colleges look at the combination of your best subscores on the SAT I. Can you combine subscores from the old and new SAT? I read the featured thread, but couldn't find a definite answer. Is there a definite answer? Is it college-specific?</p>
<p>Also, what math is tested on the new SAT? I heard rumors that there were problems corresponding to material learned in students' senior years; would those of you who have taken the new SAT I say that the highest level of math on the test is Algebra II, Precalculus, AP Calculus, or college algebra?</p>
<p>I don't know about any of you guys, but in MY Algebra II class, we didn't learn about exponential curves, or exponential equations, or functions and their graphs. Those topics were covered in my "Elementary Functions" (Honors Pre-calc) class - I don't understand how people who haven't taken Pre-Calc (or a really really good Algebra II class) can score well on the New SAT without a calculator or some kind of test prep.</p>
<p>As to mix and matching subscores between the old and new SAT for purpose of admission, it really is going to depend on the particular college; many of said they will (like Georgetown), some have indicated they won't (like Hopkins) and some won't even accept the old test (like UChicago).</p>
<p>Maybe your teacher did a poor job and didn't teach you what he/she needed to, but those classes are the only ones that are needed to score 800 on the SAT I math.</p>
