Subject Math 1 is not the same as the regular SAT math: fewer “puzzle”-like questions and more factual have-you-seen-this questions. E.g., there are a few basic trig questions, you may need the quadratic formula, and basic questions about ellipses.

Subject math level 2 adds:

hyperbolas
polar coordinates
3-D coordinates
radians
law of sines/cosines
more trig, e.g. sec, cot, sin(A+B), inverses
logarithms

vectors (minor)
limits (minor)
stdev (minor)

But, no plane geometry on math 2!
