<p>So I've been looking at different threads and seen a lot of "retake?" etc... I'm not wondering so much about my particular scores as much as what constitutes a good score in general. It's easy to find SAT ranges for individual schools, but I have been unsuccessful in my search for SAT II ranges...
What do you all consider a good score on any SAT II for the following schools?</p>
<p>Harvard University
Middlebury College
Johns Hopkins University
Bates College
Bucknell University
Trinity College</p>
<p>There is a range in the selectivity of the list of schools you have provided, but for the upper schools, 750+ seems to be general the goal.</p>
<p>750+ for any exam except asian languages, where anything less than an 800 honestly sucks.</p>
<p>thanks! 750 does seem to be the threshold people are stressing to cross… but where does this number come from?
Also, in terms of the range, I think it would be helpful to know what scores are considered “good” for the schools further down the list (I tried to list a range so I can consider my scores in terms of what “category” of school they fit in with).</p>
<p>it really depends on the test, the context, and which school.</p>
<p>my friend got a 720 on bio after a year of Pre-IB as a freshman (AP intensity, didn’t cover sufficient material to take AP test). That’s considered a pretty good score.</p>
<p>Lit is very difficult to do well on.</p>
<p>I don’t think that 750 is significant for any specific reason other than it is within 50 points of a perfect score which is not only a high score, but more aesthetically pleasing than a high 600 or low 700.</p>
<p>As for the schools further down the list, i would say anything over 700 is pretty solid.</p>
