　　Math IC

　　Algebra

　　Plane geometry (lines and angles, triangles, polygons, circles)

　　Solid geometry (cubes, cylinders, cones, spheres, etc.)

　　Coordinate geometry (in two dimensions)

　　Trigonometry (properties and graphs of sine, cosine, and tangent functions, identities)

　　Algebraic functions

　　Statistics and sets (distributions, probability, permutations and combinations, groups and sets)

　　Miscellaneous topics (logic, series, limits, complex and imaginary numbers)

　　Math IIC (covers all areas in Math IC with some additional concepts)

　　Algebra

　　Plane geometry

　　Solid geometry

　　Coordinate geometry (in two and three dimensions, vectors, polar coordinates, parametric equations)

　　Trigonometry (cosecant, secant, cotangent functions, inverse functions, in non-right triangles)

　　Statistics and sets

　　Miscellaneous topics

　　· Question difficulty. Not only does the Math IIC cover additional topics, it also covers the basic topics in more difficult ways than the Math IC does.

　　· College choice. As you choose between the two tests, keep in mind the specific colleges you’re applying to. Colleges with a strong focus on math, such as MIT and Cal Tech, require the Math IIC test. Most other colleges have no such requirement, but some may prer that you take the IIC.

　　· Battle of the test curves. The Level IIC test is scored on a much more liberal curve: you can miss six or seven questions and still achieve a score of 800. On the IC test, however, you would probably need to answer all the questions correctly to get a perfect score. If you wanted to score a 600 on either test, you would need around 20 correct answers on the IIC test and 33 on the IC test. Some students with strong math backgrounds think that they can get a marvelous score on the less difficult Math IC while their score on the IIC will only be average. But if you get tripped up by just one or two questions on the Math IC, your score will not be as impressive as you might expect.

　　If you have the skills to take the Level IIC test, you should go for it. Some students decide to take the Math IC because it’s easier, even though they have taken a precalculus course. We don’t recommend this. Colleges will be more impressed by a student who does fairly well on SAT II Math IIC than one who does very well on SAT II Math IC. Also, the friendly curve of the Math IIC means that if you know enough math to take the IIC, you might very well get a better score than you would on the IC.

　　If after all this you still can’t decide which of the two Math SAT IIs to take, try a taking a practice test for each.
