<p>I'm an all A student and I was wondering how a 700 would look to certain schools? Which ones? Just took I's today so I don't have my scores yet.</p>
<p>700 is a pretty bad score for Math II considering the huge curve.</p>
<p>maybe 800.</p>
<p>It is not phenomenal but it is solid. Even though it may be a lower percentile, the pool of students who take Math II is quite advanced.</p>
<p>Yea 700 is probably in the 60 percentile.</p>
<p>^To be exact, a 700 is in the 63rd percentile. Not exactly a respectable score, but a passable one.</p>
<p>And to answer OP’s question, a 700 will get you by just fine, especially if you indicate that you are already inclined towards the humanities.</p>
<p>Um…guys. There’s a reason why the scores don’t reflect the percentiles: The college board recognizes the pools of students who take these tests. Most of the great math students take Math II.</p>
<p>Same with Chinese…</p>
<p>^Agree with above poster. Generally, the more qualified/advanced math students take Math II than Math I.</p>
<p>I’m not able to comment on the Chinese exam, though.</p>
<p>Score respectability is so relative. Since standardized test scores are just a means to an end, there’s not much of a way to assess a score without comparing it to the population with the same goal.</p>
<p>^Yup. [url=<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools]Here[/url</a>] are some of the percentiles. I’m not sure of how current they are, but I believe they’re correct.</p>
<p>Right, so based on that chart, even 790 is not respectable in comparison to the scores of people accepted by a college with a 10% acceptance rate (assuming everyone takes SAT II Math II), but 700 is very respectable in comparison to the scores of people accepted by a college with a 60% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But then again, everyone doesn’t, so that changes things a bit.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hm. Care to elaborate on the school? Not disagreeing with you here, just interested in seeing some hard data.</p>
<p>
I’m just considering it mathematically. 60% acceptance rate means accepting the 40th percentile (620) and up. 700 is respectable in comparison to a set of scores ranging from 620 to 800.</p>
<p>I’d also be interested to see real statistics, but that’s difficult to gather because not everyone takes SAT II Math II.</p>
<p>^True, true. So for someone applying to UC Irvine or a school of similar caliber, they would only have to aim for a 620, since everyone has to take the exam (thus weakening the self-selectivity factor to a degree, though I cannot say by how much), provided that we follow your reasoning. It would be interesting to see a study on how much self-selectivity impacts acceptance rates of schools and the scores of students who apply there. </p>
<p>I think I’ve just found my summer project. :)</p>
<p>Depends where you want to apply to, really…</p>
<p>Auburn, UGA, South Carolina, etc is where I’m looking. Should I even bother and show them then?</p>
<p>Which school with a 60% acceptance rate requires subject tests?</p>
<p>OP what’s your intended major and which schools are you applying to? A 700 is on the low end of most top engineering schools, but will suffice for others.</p>
<p>How does 700 - 750 on Math II look for a business or econ major? (700 - 750 is what I received on practice tests, took the June SAT II)</p>
