<p>Hi, I am a deferred applicant to MIT, planning to take either SAT or the subject test in January, but I am not sure which to take.</p>

<p>SATI: 2220(690R/800M/730W) One-sitting
SATII: 790(MathII) 730(Physics)</p>

<p>If I take the SATI again, I think I could score at least 700-740 on reading;
If I take a SATII again, I would take Chemistry. I am taking AP Chem right now, and my practice tests show I would get 760+.</p>

<p>Which one should I take?</p>

<p>I don’t know that retaking is really necessary, but if you’re going to do it I would recommend pulling up your science SAT 2 score, since that’s the only one that is below the 25th percentile for students admitted to MIT.

<p>Thank you so much. That seems reasonable!</p>
