<p>I'm a sophomore and I took the SAT II Biology Test, my first SAT II, in December. I decided to take the E Test and only got a 740. My siblings had taken theirs a few years ago and both scored above 780 for all three of theirs. Relative to that, my score seems very low.</p>
<p>How good or bad of a score is a 740, and would it be helpful or harmful in applying to an Ivy League? I plan on taking 2 or 3, but I want my scores to be good ones. Should I take those other tests and disregard this one entirely?</p>
<p>Also, are these worth sending to any of the following schools: CalTech, NYU, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, UC Berkely</p>
<p>A 740 is a good score. Depending on how you score on your other SAT subject tests, you can decide if you want to send the bio score (if the college does not require all scores).</p>
<p>Regardless, the decision to accept or reject you will not be due to a 740 on Bio E.</p>
<p>740 is a good score. It isn’t all that different to the 780 your siblings got. I’ll give you an example from the SAT tests the year my DS took it. He got one wrong on the math section (a question he called “count on your fingers” easy), but that test had a rough curve, and he got a 760. Parenthetically, as an example of silver linings, my son figured that he had dodged the bullet of being the 2400 kid that AOs reject 
– it’s not really like that with AOs, but the point of the joke is that a few points one way or the other are not life and death. </p>
<p>A 740 will not keep you out of selective schools. Many of them will want all of your SATs if you send any, and some (eg, Stanford) will want all scores regardless. </p>
<p>ETA: cross-posted with skieurope. Fwiw, OP, your question is moot re Stanford – you must send it. </p>
<p>@skieurope said it perfectly, “the decision to accept or reject you will not be due to a 740 on Bio E.”</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, I got into Princeton with a 580 on my Literature SAT II test.</p>
