Pharyngula, if you are thinking of taking Math Level 1 because you have not covered the subjects that are tested on Math Level 2, then that would make some sense. If you have covered the subjects that are tested on Math Level 2, I think that you would be better off taking Level 2. The curve is much more generous on Math Level 2. A few “dumb” mistakes can kill your score on Level 1, while you can often miss 6 questions on Level 2 and still score 800 on it. It’s not like the SAT I Math part, in terms of scoring.
