Good SATII Ranges

Test Preparation

<p>All the colleges post ranges for their admitted students' SAT scores, but I have yet to see anything on the SATII tests. What are considered good scores for Lit and U.S. History?</p>

<p>Here’s the average SAT II scores for enrolled students at Rice (the 1st # is the score, the 2nd # is the # of people who took it. US History is a 694 and lit is a 684.</p>

<p>Lehcar, super-helpful.</p>

<p>Here’s the middle 50 %iles from MIT: </p>

<p>SAT Subject Test - Math [730-800]
SAT Subject Test - Science [700-800]</p>

<p>That data is at <a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtm[/url]”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, check out this thread:</p>

<p>It doesn’t look like schools break down individual subj test scores very much: most schools provide some kind of composite averages.</p>

<p>Thanks for that post Lehcar.</p>

<p>I suppose anywhere from 750-800 will stand you in good stead, but of course, the higher the better, especially w.r.t. Math 2, Physics, etc… as >5% of test takers get 800s.</p>
