Ansem Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 tomorrow is an sat date, and i will be taking the math subject test. there are two types, math I and II, i signed up for I because II is harder. On the day of the test, I can take multiple subject tests. i was thinking about taking math II too, but i barely prepared for the first one. there is still the off chance that I do amazing on the first one, but I doubt that will happen, I'll probably get within the 6-700 range which is not too impressive. if i take math II, i feel as if i may get a score around the 500's. should i take the chance?

Redwall Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 how much math have you taken? i'm inclined to recommend math I to you since it sounds like you've prepared for it and have some sense of what to expect; math II isn't difficult in the sense that it requires a lot of thinking, but it's possible that you may not have seen some of the stuff covered in math II, which may wind up in a lower math II score than what you predict.

Redwall Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) hahaha fuck the sats yes fuck that shit YES fuck the academy nah currently in ap calc, i've taken algebra, algebra II trig, and geometry hmm. you should try taking a few practice tests for math II (best way to study at this point, both for math I and math II); if you consistently break like 600 or so (completely arbitrary benchmark i pulled out of my ass) then go for it.

Thor Odinson Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 If you feel like you're good at math then go for it There's no real harm in taking it other than your (parents') wallet because you don't have to send it to the colleges if you do poorly I got like a 780, completely winged it no study, probably got a negative sign wrong of something or some bullshit I always do but there is a reason why I'm partially a math major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Do you have to pay extra for taking more than one subject test? I'm asking because I don't remember even though I took 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 i signed up for the first with a waiver, not sure if they'll accept the waiver if i sign up for another during the test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) SAT = Some Awful Test Also dude, 600-700 is pretty good. You might not get into an ivy league school with those scores but there's still some decent schools out there that'll take you. Standardized tests are only part of the equation when it comes to college applications anyway. Edited November 2, 2013 by Jack Frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Poet Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 currently in ap calc, i've taken algebra, algebra II trig, and geometry You're probably actually ready for Math II, as its tested content only goes up to algebra 2 iirc. It's dependent more on whether or not you remember all the old material from that class. I haven't heard of AP calc students scoring far below 700 on either Math I or II; you should be fine!

eclipse Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Depends on the school you're applying for, really. If you think you'll need the SAT scores to get in, then go with Math I. If not, then why not do Math II for giggles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
