Taking Math I and Math II at the same time

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Does Collegeboard ban us from taking both Math I and Math II on the same session? If not, then should I study for only the Math II in order to take both tests, or is there material tested on the Math I exam that is not tested on Math II?</p>

<p>why don't you search information on ::</a> College Planning Made Easy | Inside Source for College Admissions Requirements. I think it is the best way.</p>

<p>You can take both math tests on the same day, but why would you? Schools that do require SAT subject tests almost always want them to be in different areas -- science, history, math, foreign language, etc.</p>

<p>The Math II test covers more than Math I (some trig and/or pre-calc topics), so if you take that one, the Math I test adds nothing.</p>

<p>the Math I sometimes tests extremely basic concepts like box whisker plots (which you may have learned in 6th/7th grade) they are diff...just because you do well on Math II (which is mostly trig) it does not mean you will do well in Math I...one of my friends got a 750 on Math II but 650 in Math I</p>

<p>to answer ur question, yes
but it's not wise because math 1 is too elementary
plus many top schools look down at students who take math 1</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses.
I checked the Collegeboard website, however I just wanted to be certain that both can be taken at the same time. I took both history exams and the biology exam and I received excellent scores. I want to take both Maths because I wanted the Math II since my major will probably be in engineering, but I have to self-study a lot of the extra material that we did not go over in Precalculus in order to take it (another reason is no one in my school is taking the Math II, so I want to stand out). I wanted a "safety net" in terms of the Math I exam score in case I did not self study adequately, though I'm surprised that someone can get a 750 on Math II but get a 650 on Math I. Guess I'll study everything in detail.</p>

<p>The reason the scores can vary is because the curve on Math II is something like -5/-6 = 800 while on Math I, you can't miss any for an 800.</p>
