<p>How good are…</p>

<p>these SAT II scores?
a 760 on Math Level 2
a 770 on Biology - E
and a 750 on Chemistry</p>

<p>This is with a SAT I score of 2270 (800 R/ 700 M/ 770 W)</p>

<p>I know admissions officials look at more than just test scores…but in an of themselves, how are these scores?</p>

2

<p>Significantly above average</p>

3

<p>No, they're terrible and you'll never get in.</p>

<p>(PS: There are several threads about admissions statistics posted, and they are also posted on the Penn website)</p>

4

<p>Admissions statistics never outline SAT II scores, though...and that's what he's asking about.</p>

<p>Anyway, your scores are very good, even at Penn. You're definitely above average.</p>

5

<p>not to steal the thread but i also want to know if my SAT II's are fine
i know they look at 2 so my two highest were </p>

<pre><code> 780 Math IIC
730 Us History
and i hope they take into account my Act score (34) over my SAT I score (2010!)

already sent in app so.... im above average?

<p>you bet...</p>

<p>I remember reading last year that the combined <em>best two</em> average SAT II score for students accepted to Penn was 720.</p>

8

<p>ooo. thats not as awesome as it could be</p>

9

<p>finally im above the average for something at penn lol</p>

10

<p>lol (10 char)</p>

11

<p>That'd be really great if that statistic were true</p>

12

<p>both of you took the Math Level 2 test and did well - is it hard though? Im a little nervous...</p>

13

<p>it's pretty easy. top 15 percent or so get an 800, and if you get 8 questinos wrong, you still get an 800.</p>

14

<p>ok sweet, my precal teacher was really good last year so i hope i do well
(700+)</p>

15

<p>i got a 690 on the math II, even though math has always been my best subject and i got a 100 last year in pre calc</p>

16

<p>now im nervous again, thanks</p>

17

<p>hey, paro that has always confused me, how ppl do so well in their school classes but cannot handle the sat II's..you got a 100, which is phenomenal, only one kid in my grade got close to a hundred(96) and he is, without a doubt, easily MIT, Princeton material....i got a b+/A- and was able to pull an 800 on math iic with no prep..the only sat i ever prepped for was US hist, and that only because I was studying for the ap us test.</p>

<p>i think there should be a more standardized CURRICULUm across the country to eliminate need for sat's, which a few ppl just can't do even if they're mad smart..it would give everyone somewhat of an equal opportunity.</p>

18

<p>Math II 780 1st and last attempts for chemistry and mathII
Chemistry 760
French(non-francophone) retake worse at 630,1st attempt 650</p>

<p>SATI 2300</p>

19

<p>i think u meant pyar, not paro. lol
but yeah, i agree with u shaqdaddy - standardized curriculums would be great if the country wasn't so econ/soc/cult/etc diverse. i mean, thats technically what IB (intl) and AP (natl) are for but still, only the exams for these are equivalent, not the methods of teaching or the enforced curriculum.</p>

<p>Looking at the statistics of some of the people who've gotten into Penn, your SATs are fine, but they don't guarantee you entry.</p>
