Are My SAT II Scores Any Good?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm looking at applying to Harvard and Yale as two of my schools, and I needed to take 3 SAT II tests to apply to Harvard, and I had never even heard of them until about 3 days before I signed up. I just got my results back, and I have no idea how good my scores are, and I was just wondering if they were Ivy-worthy.</p>

<p>Math I: 770
Math II: 790
US History: 760</p>

<p>They seem pretty good to me. Here are the percentiles; they should be pretty helpful. <a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;
(If the link doesn’t work, just Google “sat ii percentiles.” It’s the 1st link.)</p>

<p>Wikipedia also has percentile rankings.
If I remember correctly, an 800 in math is about a 92% percentile ranking. I know that sounds odd, but it is true: 800 scores are (relatively) pretty common. Just a guess, I suspect that Ivy wannabees will be unhappy with less than 800 on each of these tests.</p>

<p>yes they are good enough for any college. focus on the other parts of your application now.</p>

<p>They are definitely good enough, but you may want to take one more – I’m not sure if Harvard really wants 2/3 subject tests to be in math.</p>

<p>hmm…Math I AND Math II? I never knew you could do that. In fact, I don’t think you should’ve done that. It’s better to take subject tests of varying topics</p>

<p>OP; I’m just curious: If you are not sure a 760/800 is "good’, at what point would you feel confident? I WILL say that the UC’s wait accept Math I, so Math I could be a problem elsewhere, too.</p>
