<p>Just wondering, for top schools, how important are subject tests? I have a feeling mine aren't going to be so good--would one subject test in the 600's keep one out of a school? My SAT I is 2300+, so that's strong. How big of a role do they play?</p>
<p>I would say getting a SATII in the 600s would be a big hindrance to top schools and possibly keep you out. You need 2300+ on SATII as well though.</p>
<p>Ok thanks. Are you allowed to take SAT II’s more than once?</p>
<p>If you can get 2300+ on your SAT I’s you should be able to study hard and generally figure out a way to get 700+ on your SAT II’s, right?

<p>ehh its just i only realized i needed sat ii’s a few weeks ago, and the aps I’ve taken this yeaar dont have subject tests-Gov and Language, so I just quickly decided to do Math II and USH, because I’ve taken ush this yr, and precalc. but the problem is, im really not a math person, so math ii is pretty hard.</p>
<p>Despite popular belief, SAT IIs are probably as important as SAT I at the top schools that require them. 750+ is best. Anything under 700 would probably hurt you a little bit.</p>
<p>Try taking literature. I actually scored way higher on my literature SAT II than my critical reading on the SAT I so it sounds like you obviously did pretty well on all sections of the SAT so try that one!
also, you don’t have to send in the score that was below 700.</p>
<p>ok…so if i got an 800 CR, I should get 700+ on lit?</p>
<p>i havent taken ap lit tho…</p>
<p>I didn’t take AP lit. I got a 640 on CR and a 730 on Lit. Sounds like you are probably better at standardized testing than me, so i would say yes you would get a 700 or above.</p>
