Can SAT II's replace an okay SAT 1 score?

Test Preparation

<p>When I took the SAT for the first time I got a 2100 (660 M 660 CR 780 W). I recently took SAT II's and got a 740 in math II. Will the 740 act as a replacment for my mediocre math score in the sat? (ps I'm planning on applying to Duke early decision and i know my sat is a little low in math and CR) Thanks!</p>

<p>anyoneee??</p>

<p>Why don’t you try the SAT I again? Because you did so well on Math II, your Math should probably go up if you take the reasoning test again.</p>

<p>I just retook it and honestly im not sure how much it went up. I think at the most it might be at a 690/700 now</p>

5

<p>To be honest, your sat II score isn’t any better than your sat I…
The extremely forgiving curve on math II means that 740 is probably on in the 50-70th percentile.</p>

6

<p>yeah its like 73%…but higher caliber students taking the test</p>

<p>I dont think a score in the 700s should be poor for any top school</p>

<p>Yes it can. A college adviser I talk to said colleges just want to see you’re proficient in those subjects. A 740 on Math II shows you’re good at math, even if your SAT I score wasn’t as good.</p>

<p>I have read/heard that SAT II’s are just as important as SAT I.</p>
