<p>I'm a junior that has taken algebra (course I/math A) Geometry (course II) and im currently taking Trigonometry (Course III/Math B). I got a 95 a the Math A regents last year and ill be taking the Math B this year. Ill be taking Pre-Calc next year. i know there are several math SAT II's but im not really sure what kind of topics or concepts are covered on them. Can anyone help me pick out the SAT II math subject test that is right for me? thanks!</p>
<p>u should take Math 1C</p>
<p>There are a few things Math B does not cover but will be on IIC.</p>
<p>so i should take Math IC ? what is covered on this one? just like algebra and geometry?</p>
<p>im in the same position as u .. im gonna take 1C in june and math b in the end of june. if i dont do well .. im gonna take IIC in october?</p>
<p>I would take IIC, it has a more generous curve. Plus, the new sat already encompasses algebra 2 topics. So colleges won't pay much attention to a Match IC score, its basically the same as a your Math reasoning score.</p>
<p>i think ill take the mathIC in june because im not entirely confident with my math abilities at the moment and then the Math B regents later on in june and then see where i stand. if i do well on both i will probably take the math IIC in the fall.</p>
<p>A lot people actually do better on the IIc, but that's usually after they've taken algebra II, trig and precalc.</p>
<p>Try getting the Real SAT IIs book and taking the Ic and IIc sample tests to see which you're comfortable with. FlyinV is right that the curve is more generous on the IIc, but if you haven't covered say 1/4 of the material yet, the Ic is probably a better bet. Good plan to do the Ic now and IIc in the fall.</p>
<p>Just don't use the Barron's IIC book to gauge the difficulty of the IIC. Barron's is good for studying, but isn't representative of the actual test.</p>
<p>It comes down to what type of college you want to go to. If you wanna go to a school that is in the top 30 you need IIC.</p>
<p>I agree with billyum about Barrons...in fact, don't relay on ANY of the test prep book to gauge difficulty. None of them are exactly like the real test.</p>
