do SAT II scores make up for bad GPA?

<p>Hey, I;m taking Physics 12 course in school right now, but I'm not doing so hot.
I'm getting about 76% which is really bad :(
I know I can get it up to about 85~ish %, but that's still not too great.</p>

<p>So If I got above 750 on the SAT II Physics would that make up for the bad GPA?
(our physics 12 class is really, really hard :) I can do the SAT II problems...)</p>

<p>No it does not. SAT II's do not cover everything that should be learned in physics. And especially since the curve on physics is so generous, most colleges won't see a 750 as too much of an achievement. It won't hurt you any, but it definitely won't make up for a bad grade.</p>
