<p>yo OptimusPrime what do u think about retaking a 790? </p>
<p>but this time taking E instead of M</p>
<p>I recieved a 760 on bio M. I only omitted 2 and missed 3. Not a very good curve :( . Oh well, I'm still happy :D</p>
<p>Also, in response to chronicidal:</p>
<p>Your score report sent to colleges shows your 6 most recent SAT Is, as well as 6 of your most recent SAT IIs</p>
<p>Wow. That's only 5 points off the raw score, and that's a 760. I got a 790, so what's that, 1 mistake? Damn, that's harsh.</p>
<p>Isn't it possible that you missed more than a few and you just assumed that the answers they posted on CC were correct?</p>
<p>yea i highly DOUBT that 1 question wrong is a 790...because i am pretty sure i got like 2-4 wrong and i stil have a 790 the curve is harsh thought...but not THAT harsh ( i think it was like 2 q's for an 800...or 1...)</p>
<p>Anyone know what the curve was like for physics?</p>
<p>There was nothing wrong with the curve guys. Even if it was a bit more tough, it would only be because the test was easier than normal. Therefore, the score you got is the score you deserve.</p>
<p>The test was harder than normal. Either that or the May test was easier than normal. I can see it two ways. I got unlucky, or all of my friends who took it in May got lucky.
Questions, again. How do colleges view a 770-retake? Does the score report show #wrong?</p>
<p>The test was much easier than the one in the Real SAT II book.</p>
<p>Charchazwick, what did you get on the test? It seemed to me that you were very confident.</p>
<p>I got a 790, but was expecting lower. I left 3 blank and got at least a few wrong. But yeah, the one in the collegeboard book was much harder, and therefore probably had a more lenien curve. I thought this one was much easier and therefore probably had a harder curve to make up for it.</p>
<p>is there a big diff between 790 and 800?
I mean i got a 790 but i am considering retaking..
whadya think?</p>
<p>No, colleges really don't see a difference between a 790 and an 800. It would hurt more than help if you took it again. Colleges don't like obsessive test taking.</p>
<p>what if i take bio E instead of M ...same thing ..or will they view them as 2 different tests? ( i hafto study bio anyways..whether i am taking the SAT II or not...so the problem isnt about studying)</p>
<p>If you want to, then go ahead. However, colleges couldn't care less and may somewhat penalize you for it, even if you take Bio E.</p>
<p>'penalize'..?..how??/what do u mean?</p>
<p>I'm in 9th grade and took the Bio-M, got a 720. I wonder if I should retake this.</p>
<p>Wow I guess a lot of people didn't get 800s. Me, Charzwick and Xylem got the same scores. Xylem don't retake it. Zafara you might consider it if you are taking Ap Bio.</p>
<p>720 is a decent score - but unless you took AP bio, why on earth would you take sat-ii test in your freshman year? i'm guessing it a "practice" round - in that case def. retake it.</p>

hehe ..guess i am not the only one lol....thank <em>bad</em>boy ... and charzwick.....i wonder what the percentiles are gonna look like.....
btw Zafara 720 is pretty good for a 9th grader...especially if u werent taking AP ...(even more so if u werent taking honors..) ...so if ur doing AP later then retake it..if not ..u might wanna consider taking 3 OTHER SAT II s(since u still have lots of time) ...and doing great on those (780's-800's) then colleges will only look at your highest three anyways...so yea...</p>
<p>Btw is 790 good enought for the elite schools/ivies or not?</p>
