<p>I got the following scores the first time I took the SATIIs:
Writing - 720
US His- 700
IIC - 600</p>
<p>For December, I got:
Writing - 630
US His - 630
IIC - 650</p>
<p>I raised the IIC score, which I wanted. I am wondering if it will hurt me too much with the drop in the other two, or will they only take the highest?</p>
<p>They being most of the Ivies.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>yeah that's what i wanna know too!!! help us please!!!
how do the colleges choose our top 3 subject test scores?
and what scores for SAT2s are considered respectable for the ivies?</p>
<p>last question..
if i don't go to the collegeboard website and request for them to send my scores to the various unis, would they still send it to the places i've put down on my registration form?</p>
<p>thanks guys.</p>
<p>Jeez. Bump.</p>
<p>I was looking at a webpage yesterday, Harvard I think, and they said that they take the highest as long as you take it 3 or less times than it doesnt look so hot. So i think its all good dominus. The average SAT II scores for ivies depends, but I would say around 700+... but im no admissions officer.</p>
<p>if you take more than 3 different SAT 2's, do they take the highest three?</p>
<p>they're supposed to look at just your highest three or highest of the however many times you take. but man! just a word of caution - first take: 800 writing, 750 spanish, 680 iic. retook math because that's like the 51st percentile, which is sad; figured i could possibly do better on the spanish (4 years plus 3 weeks immersion this summer, so i really SHOULD do better) and it wouldn't hurt to retake. second take: 750 math IIc (yay) but 680 spanish! even though most schools SAY they only look at highest scores, i can't help realizing that that pattern looks like *<strong><em>. so if you think you could MAYBE get higher than a perfectly acceptable score, DONT. maybe itll be ok and colleges won't care, but i'm hating now that i was so *</em></strong>y.</p>
<p>c.o.c.k.y. is not a bad word. so i'm reinserting it. stupid auto-editing. it's refering to like a rooster. geez.</p>
<p>At many schools, the highest scores will be transcribed by an administrative type, and the admissions officers won't even see them. </p>
<p>The danger, as I see it, of retaking tests (unless you really had a bad day or mis-bubbled or some such) is that it will take away time and energy that could be better spent on essays, short answers, and ... school work.</p>
