How bad are these subject scores?

<p>760 Math 1, 710 Math 2, 680 US history, 640 LIT</p>

<p>can i go to top 20-10 colleges with this.. like this wont be a hindrance to my application?</p>

<p>or do i retake?</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>is it possible to retake in january?</p>

<p>I don't know the answer to your question but normally the top schools only take your best 3 or 2, therefore yours would be a 760, 710 and a 680. Your scores are good, above average, but are they good enough to get into a top 10-20 school, probably not. You shouldn't definitely try to retake them. Also, if you are a math person then definitely retake math I and II.</p>

<p>Is this a joke, my brother got into Cornell, Colgate, Middleberry(sp) and was wait listed at Harvard with a chem score of 690 and a math1c score of 670, but he also had a math2c of 790. People on this board need to cool down might wanna cool down a bit. But who knows, maybe a higher math1c score for my brother would have got him off the wait list at Harvard, but all im saying is that your scores seem very good to me...congrats.</p>

<p>hvgap:
it's rare to see a math I score so much lower than a math II score like your bro's situation....has he ever pondered the reason for that? (I'm just curious)</p>

<p>he has always been a fairly decent math student, he told me that the tests are just different kinds of math. So if your good at easy problems and your work is flawless(no stupid mistakes) then the math 1 is good, but if longer problems are your forte where you can catch your stupid mistakes before an answer is recorded than math 2 is for you. He is doing really well at Colgate now, i dont think SAT2s or SATs speak as much as drive and enthusiasm, i really hope that colleges see that with me as they slightly did with my brother.</p>

<p>As long as you're in or around the 700s you're good.</p>

<p>Haha 760 math 1 , I got the same loll ... IM SO PI****D ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
lol
btw i d say ur scores are alright, But u should retake US-Hist if u think u can do good on it to try and keep everything in the 700's , And if ur good at math /think you can do better then retake math 2 ,Retaking math 1 isnt that necessary though cause 760 on math 1 is actually good its 97th percentile (or around that ) lol
btw Does anybody remember how todo the last one on the math 1 test, its driving me nuts ?</p>

<p>oh the answer was C for the last one. you had to divide it into triangles and whatever.</p>

<p>but does anyone know if colleges take january scores?</p>

<p>and how will my LIT score look?... i currently have a 640 on CR. retaking in DEC.</p>

<p>will they look at it?</p>
