<p>So first they had levels I, IC, and IIC.</p>
<p>Then they got rid of I.</p>
<p>Now they're changing IC and IIC to 1 and 2.</p>
<p>At least IC and IIC have characteristic rings to them. They SOUND right. But you can't just be like "I'm taking 1. Should I consider 2? How about both?"</p>
<p>I say we rebel against CB and continue to refer to them as IC and IIC. Who's with me?!</p>
<p>lol.. How long ago did they drop the SAT II: Math I? I remember hearing about it - it was like the IC, but not taken with calculators (hence the C's on the other ones). The change to Math 1 and 2 seems even more confusing - now you have the SAT 1 Math and the SAT 2 Math 1. Thanks, but I think I'll stick with IC and IIC, the same way I still call the new "Critical Reading" section Verbal, the way it used to be. Why use two words when one will suffice?</p>
<p>Haha, it's a part of the rites of passage to master the alphabet soup of TCB/ETS. And when you finally get comfortable with it, you start buying your XL sheets for the dorms. </p>
<p>FWIW, I find the new headings much easier. Now we have Subject Tests Level 1 and Level 2. And the SAT is now THE SAT, all by itself. I never liked the old way of having a test called SATII-IC or SATII-IIC. It always seemed funny to have a SAT 2 followed by One C. It looked they hired George Lucas to name the tests!</p>
<p>That said, even the College Board is tsill confused about theri own naming policies. They are not sure if it should be SAT Subject Tests or simply Subject Tests. </p>
<p>About the SAT Subject Tests
Subject Tests (formerly SAT II: Subject Tests) are designed to measure your knowledge and skills in particular subject areas, as well as your ability to apply that knowledge.</p>
<p>The Subject Tests in Math (Level 1 and Level 2) have some questions that require the use of at least a scientific or graphing calculator. Mathematics Subject Tests are developed with the expectation that most students will use a graphing calculator. There are no plans to discontinue or change the content of the Subject Tests in Math Level 1 or Math Level 2.</p>
<p>What is confusing is when people say:</p>
<p>I took AP CS</p>
<p>and I assume that means AP Computer Science, since i am a nerd, and then i realize they mean comparative studies or w/e</p>
<p>I got confused alittle bit when i heard the term "APUSH" (like actually pronounced "a push")...</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Lol.. thats what everyone at my school (including the teacher) calls it. Our AP Hum Geo class is "H-Gap" (HGAP) and AP World is simply "whap"</p>
<p>the best was apes -> ap environmental science.</p>
<p>I'm going to be an APE next year! hehe (that's what we call it at our school too!)</p>
<p>"It looked they hired George Lucas to name the tests!"
^I sincerely enjoyed that.</p>
<p>I recently started referring to SAT II's as the Twos (II's). I've actually grown pretty fond of it over the past few months.</p>
<p>PLUS all the SAT II/Subject Test prep books had to change their covers! The new PR ones are DISGUSTING!</p>
<p>I'm going to hate being in AP US this year. When you refer to it online, you can't be like, "yo, did you do the us homework?" Calling it US instead of us makes it seem like you're just honoring the significance of your existence :P. So you have to say apus.</p>
<p>A friend of mine was in accelerated and honors chemistry, which they affectionately referred to as ahchem, and apush (ah-poosh) for AP US.</p>
<p>You've gotta love the abbreviations for classes, though. Geo, bio, calc, chem, enviro, comp sci, etc. I've always hated the outsiders, though. Social studies? Physics? What's with those?</p>
<p>My favorite is PR's pronunciation guide to PSAT/NMSQT. Pee-sat-nim-squit.</p>
<p>i remember asking a math teacher something about the IIC before i took it, a long time ago, when i was stupid... i thought it was I I C, like the Is were letters not roman numerals, so i kept saying "math eye eye see" lol (yea i kno.. stupid)</p>
