I’ll be a freshman this year and I’m taking precalculus. When would the ideal time to take the Math 2 be? Freshman year seems kind of early but at the same time I’m worried if I wait too long I’ll forget material that’s on it.
You should probably take the SAT Subject test in Math 2 at the end of the year you take Precalc. My son took the Math 2 test in June of 9th grade.
But, first take the official practice test in the books provided by the College Board. If you are a freshman taking Precalc, you are probably pretty mathy. You may want to make sure you can score an 800 or really close if you think there is a chance you may be aiming pretty high for colleges and for a STEM major. There is a pretty big curve on the Math 2 test, so you can miss some due to carelessness and still get an 800.
agree with the above, I think taking Math 2 after precal is about right.
