Is there actually a difference?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Hey everyone.
I have a simple question.
I go to a very competitive private school in NY, i've had an upward trend in HS and my GPA will end up early 90's (which is pretty good for my school).
My SAT's will most likely end up in the early 2000's (~700-600-700).
My extra curriculars are what make my app (student body pres, broke national news story, won big speech competition, worked for several political campaigns, run several websites, raise thosuands for charity...so on), and my college counselor has recommended me to schools like Georgetown, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, George Washington, and so on.</p>

<p>I just got back my US History SAT2 and I got a 720. Normally, I'd be really happy but US history is a really good subject of mine, and I wanted to clear 750. I am probably also taking World History and Spanish, which I will probably scrape 700 and 600 respectively in. Does it make a difference if I got a 720 or a 770 on the US history, especially if im applying for political science and govt?
Should I take it again?</p>

<p>Well I know Georgetown requires three subject tests, so it might make a difference for them. The others probably only require 2 tests, so I would just study a lot for the next two you’re taking. It depends on which schools you’re most interested in. Besides, retaking US would mean a lot of restudying.</p>
