<p>although it seems there isnt much difference between scores >760 and 800 on the SAT Subject Tests, i was curious if any one can offer their views on the difference between a scores in the 2200s (more specifically, >2250) and the lower end of the 2300s. is the difference once one crosses 2300 significant? how do the colleges see this?</p>

<p>i got 2250, and i am considering taking it again in the future</p>

<p>wut r u doing to urself just stop, other things will set u apart from other applicants not 50 pts higher on sat. its basically same thing 2200+ is good for any college</p>

<p>Well... I've seen people on CC that really put emphasis on the 2300 barrier, so if you have the chance and you think you can do better, retake.</p>

<p>Also, are you thinking of applying to HSPY and etc? Because I haven't seen too many people get into Stanford (that's the one I looked at the most) that didn't get a mid 2300. So, if you are aiming for those schools, try a for a mid 2300 if you think you can do it :)</p>

<p>haha i think it just looks nicer...maybe adcoms might feel the same way, or thye might not care at all. who knows</p>

<p>It also depends on if you need to improve one section.
In theory, you could have gotten two 800s and a 650, in which case you may want to retake to improve that 650.</p>

<p>I wouldn't retake.</p>

<p>I know plenty of people in the high 2200 range who beat people in the low 2300 range.</p>

<p>Once you get to that point, focus more on extra curriculars and essays.</p>
