Am I screwed?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>I took the SAT Math IIC this may and pretty much had a panic attack in the middle. I got a 600 which I know isn't good. Without going into long drawn out details, all of my other stats are good (SATS about 2200, two other SAT II's w/ scores 750+, good ECs, hardest classes...)</p>

<p>Some of the more competitive schools I'm thinking of applying to are: Northwestern, UVA, Wake Forest, Stanford, Wesleyan, Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>So basically, will this one bad score really hurt my chances and should I try to take it again? Any input would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>P.S.--I'm not planning to major in math or science!</p>

<p>Take it again for 700+.</p>

<p>If you want to get into a good college, you need it.</p>

3

<p>If a school only asks for scores from 2 tests, would I even have to put the math down? Do schools get a report from college board with all of your scores?</p>

4

<p>what are your other two SAT II subjects...and what is your major? If your major is math/science related, you're gonna wanna take it again, b/c given the curve (and I know you already know this) that Math IIC score is downright awful. Remember that they're gonna see that score b/c all your SAT scores are sent when you have a score report sent...you may want to retake to show determination to do better.</p>

<p>I have spanish (780) and chemistry (760)</p>

<p>My major is probably going to be something in the realm of english or international studies. I know it won't be in the math field.</p>

<p>I do intend to take it again and hopefully it will go (way) up. I think I'm ok at math, but I have a really hard time doing it when I'm rushed.</p>

<p>Thanks for your advice :)</p>

<p>lol-i have those in the middle of the CR sat 1 test. Just feeling like you have no control over what's going on. Scary sh it.Just practice,gain confidence and take it again.</p>

7

<p>no problem hegel07...i'm sure you'll do better given your scores on the other tests...i too had a panic attack on IIC and left 10 blank! I scored a 740 and will be taking it again...for Math IIC, I'd say a "good" score is 770+, just because you can completely skip 10 questions and still get an 800...evidently I missed a/b 6 ontop of that. :)</p>

8

<p>You can skip 10 on Math IIC and get an 800? are you sure? I thought it was 5.</p>

9

<p>lol i dunno i skipped ten and i know i got quite a few wrong and still got a 740...but i know it's more than 5...i've heard some ppl say 7 or 8, but have also heard it was 10.</p>

<p>it'd be nice if they'd send me my score report already.</p>

10

<p>You can leave blank a maximum of 7, which means you can get wrong a maximum of 6 with no omits.</p>
