Is it worth it to retake my Bio SAT 2s?

<p>Yeah, so I just checked my scores. 740 on the Math 2 and um....560 on the Bio one. I wasn't really expecting to do well on the Bio on, but didn't cancel my scores because I thought I might do decently on the Math one. However, I took AP Bio this year and will be doing Chem next year (ie. no revision in class for Bio). Do you think it'd be worth it to take the Bio one again, or if I take another 2 SAT 2's and score in the 700s Colleges just won't pay much attention to it (Assuming I don't major in a Biology related field). Thanks!</p>

<p>if u think u wont be able to break 700 ..then dont take it</p>

<p>yeah, you can definently go up higher. i still think the curve was wacked up majorly this time around for biology.</p>

<p>oh yeah, and is there any way to cancel my bio score? i think it's to late now, but is there by any chance?</p>

<p>No, I don't think you can cancel your score at this point.</p>

<p>I think you might want to retake that bio. If you do get 700+'s on your other SAT IIs, there'll still be a huge disparity between your bio score and those. I've heard that colleges only look at the top scores, but that 560 might make them wonder.</p>

<p>Plus, you sound like you know that you can do better.</p>

<p>well i think i can score higher, it's just i don't know how much higher. i probably can get into the mid/high 600's, but i don't know if it'd be worth it to retake and have to study if i can't get into the 700s</p>

<p>for me, I retook my 610 and got a 700 in June. So I think you also have a good chance. But it really comes down to your abilities.</p>

<p>well dont colleges just take top three? so if u have 3 batter (which for sure i know u will) wont they just kick that aside?</p>

<p>that's what i am hoping will happen. but i figure i'll just retake it in october, hope i can score drastically better and then it won't look like i'm a total bio failure, especially since i took ap bio this year.</p>

<p>does it matter when you took the test?
i got a 570 on bio as a freshman and if i took it again i could probably get much higher as a senior next year</p>

<p>akalboy, did you take the ap test? theres a good chance you could've done really well on that test, and it might counteract the 560</p>

<p>i took the ap test, but the highest i would expect is a 4, there's almost no chance for a 5 unless there's a wonderful curve which i'm doubting</p>
