<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I'm currently in a crossroads right now and was wondering if you guys could give me some input. I'm still deciding on whether I should retake the SAT Reasoning (2200/2400- 690CR, 780 Math, 730 Writing) or the SAT physics subject test(680/800) during December. I'll be applying to Berkeley EECS, and understand that it's extremely competitive. Shed some light? </p>
<p>Have you taken Math II yet?</p>
<p>I might take that and physics in January.</p>
<p>@bigwords Thx for replying.
Yea, I got an 800 in Math ll. The thing is, all standardized testing must be done by December. Should I go with the SAT and bring it up to possibly a 2260+, or retake physics for a 780+?</p>
<p>The 680 in physics is low if you want to apply for EECS. Also, the physics score has to match the grades in your highest Physics class (Honors or AP).</p>

You’re right, I need to retake the physics subject test. I probably could do a lot better the 2nd time around anyways.
Can you expound on what you mean by “the physics score has to match the grades in your highest physics class”?
I received an A for both semesters of AP physics. You’re saying I pretty much need an 800 right?</p>

If you got As in AP Physics, then try to aim atleast 760+ in Physics test.</p>
<p>I’d recommend retaking Physics if you think you can get 780-ish.</p>
