Hey guys.
I took Algebra 2 over the summer last year and took geometry as a full year course. My plan was to take Pre Calc this summer due to the stupidity of the United States School System and the No Child Left Behind Act/Crap I wasn't able to do it. Now I forgot a lot about algebra 2 since I haven't looked at in year. It doesn't take long to refresh my algebra 2 skills and since SAT II's are in october is it a wise decision to take the Math Level 1 exam?

What other Sat II's have you taken or will take? When I was applying to colleges, I believe most only took like 2 (maybe 3) max, so there's no point in taking too many. Also, if you do take a math Sat II, you might as well take Math 2.

Okay first of all, before you go and create a huge mess for yourself....no one gives a big f'uck about Math IC anymore. Its all about Math IIC.
If you want to put this in a nicer way: no college will accept your Math IC score.
SAT II Math IIC is a bit harder, and almost all colleges will accept the results for admission decisions. It also has a much more generous curve than Math IC (In Math IIC, you can miss up to 6-7 questions and still get a 800, but you can't miss any on IC to get a 800).
If you want to do well on a SAT II Math exam, have a bit of room to make a few mistakes and still get a perfect - or a good - score, and have the score be accepted by colleges for admission decisions, I suggest you study and take the Math IIC exam
Take it from someone who has gone through the process already.

I agree with Will. Just wait until you can take Math IIs. Are you good with a graphing calculator?

Sorry for the long reply. I had forgotten about this thread since I made this day of my vacation.
Thanks Will. I guess I will just focus on SAT's for now and is Physics subject test easy? I have completed regular physics and my cousin said that the book will teach you anything you haven't learned.
My Math career goes as follows
freshman year
Alg1>Summer Alg2
Soph.
Geometry
the following year: Pre-Calc
My graphing skills I have forgotten most of them since the time i had taken algebra 2.
Which Sat II's are the best to take?
