<p>don't get annoyed please lol</p>
<p>but basically, will only a 740 on the math section of the sat reasoning test look really bad for admissions to MIT?? =/ total sat score btw was 2290
does my 800 on mathII make up for it??</p>
<p>i don't wanna take the sat again!! </p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>They want 700+. You’re fine.</p>
<p>A 740 in math is within MIT’s middle 50% range for admitted students last year (the range was 730-800).</p>
<p>Last year, students with SAT math scores between 700 and 740 were admitted at a rate of 14%, which is about the same as the overall admit rate.</p>

<p>You’ll be fine! Chill =)</p>
<p>your scores are fine, don’t stress out about it</p>
<p>Ya I think thats fine. The 740 was probalby 2 careless mistakes, seeing that you got a 800 on the Math II test. All admissions officers know that these small mistakes are part of life. Your 800 on Math II will stand out way more.</p>
<p>Tis nothing to worry about; I ended up with 750 on SAT Math and 800 on SAT2 and was accepted EA this year. The SAT2 is more respectable than the SAT Math.</p>
<p>^whoa congrats ! you’re awesome dude
& dang don’t take MIT for granted!!! lol</p>
<p>I have a sort of unrelated question. Will retaking the sat II math look all that bad?</p>
<p>I took the subject test last weekend, but I forgot my calculator and had to use my friends ti 89. I couldn’t figure out how to approximate trigonometric functions as decimals, and that forced me to skip 9 questions. </p>
<p>I’m expecting low 700’s because of that, which sucks. Would it hurt to retake it???
Whaddya think?</p>
<p>Haha, that’s the way I feel whenever I have to use anything less than a ti 89. You would hold down the green button. And definitely not. If you are still feeling antsy you can always do score choice.</p>
<p>MIT will only look at the highest of your math and science SAT IIs. It doesn’t hurt you to retake.</p>
<p>lol my math teacher:
“what??? you only missed two on SAT math and your score is that!”</p>
<p>physics teacher:
“well, when i took the SAT, i got 800 on math. twice.”</p>
<p>thanks. </p>
<p>The curve is pretty generous for math II anyway. If I get anything around a 750, I probably won’t waste any more of my time on retaking it. low-levelish standardized tests (ie everything sat) are quite an exercise in mental stamina for me, and reruns of my favorite crappy VH1 shows are aired on saturday mornings.</p>
