Is it a big difference? (SAT Subject tests)

Test Preparation
1

<p>I got a 780 on MathII last time. How much of a difference would it make at Ivies if I got a 800 in October? </p>

<p>Should I just take another subject? I will retake physics(700), and chem(690).</p>

<p>There will be no difference. SAT Subject test scores are mostly benchmarks that, once met, are not responsible for any decision positive or negative. A 780 is great, and you should focus on physics and chem only from now on. Good job!</p>

<p>Eh, close enough…</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I’ll work on my science then!</p>

<p>Can anyone else confirm silverturtle and supercool’s statement that a retake is unecessary?</p>

<p>Well, “unnecessary” is an unclear word here. The simple truth is that, for the most part (e.g., MIT claims to consider anything 750+ to be equal), higher scores yield higher chances, contrary to what supercool claimed. But a twenty point increase on Math Level 2 is so minor that it is highly unlikely to turn any rejections into acceptances.</p>
