I got a 760 on my chem say subject test. I really want to go to a top Ivy college…should I retake chem and aim for an 800? Is it worth it? Is there any difference? I understand that a 760 is not so great for Math Level 2…I wonder if 760 on chem is really the same as an 800 on chem. Do college officials know that 760 and 800 on close scores, or do they look based on perfection of score and are impressed solely by 800s?
A 760 is fine. They are looking for proficiency, and that does not mean you need an 800 to show that.
760 is a very good score and 40 more points is not going to radically change your chance at admissions
