There are some “difficulty” differences, though. The scaling for the two tests are different. For the Math II test, you can afford to miss several questions and still have an 800, whereas you need to get every single question right on the Math I to get an 800.

Mathematics Level 1 is a broad survey test intended for students who have taken three years of college-preparatory mathematics, including two years of algebra and one year of geometry.

Anticipated Skills

You’re not expected to have studied every topic on the test, but you should anticipate the following:

Number and Operations

Algebra and Functions

Geometry and Measurement (plane euclidean, coordinate, three dimensional, and trigonometry)

Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability

Mathematics Level 2 is a broad survey test intended for students who have taken college-preparatory mathematics for more than three years, including two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and elementary functions (precalculus) and/or trigonometry.
