<p>I have heard from multiple sources that many of the highly regarded engineering programs look for at least 700 on the math SAT.
I too have kids who don’t believe in studying for standardized tests, but if she really wants to going into engineering, she does need to get her math score up. Just 1 data point - my son did not do nearly as well on the SAT math portion as on the SAT 2 or ACT math portion, so I do suggest she take both, especially if she doesn’t break 70 on the SAT.</p>
