Is this "okaaay"? + Further help!

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi, I am international student wishing to pursue my undergrads from the US. I have given the SAT-I once and this has been my score.
Math = 770
CR= 590
Writing= 580</p>

<p>And this is my SAT- II score
Math Level 2- 690
Physics= 650</p>

<p>Now Um planning to study Engineering at well reputed institutes, right now, have Gtech and Virginia tech in mind. Also I am looking for a good amount of Merit based and/or need based scholarship or financial aid.
How "okay" is that SAT score of mine? I know its not that good, I am planning to give SAT I again this October.
What can you suggest my target score to be? And should I repeat SAT II again? </p>

<p>Match for Virginia, but your SAT needs to improve for Georgia. </p>

<p>Your sat scores (aside from math) are pretty average, so unless you boost those, merit aid might be a reach. Especially if you are international. Schools are very stingy with aid for international students. </p>

4

<p>Also, your SAT II scores are low, so bring those up. </p>

<p>@Smargent Thanx man, But can you suggest me how far I need to raise my CR and Writing and the SAT 2 scores atleast to be a good match for Gtech?</p>

6

<p>I’d suggest getting your Math 2 above a 750+ for any of those two techs. Your math SAT is fine where it is!</p>

<p>@Luffy95‌ I would get your SAT IIs up to at least 750 (because they are subjects similar to your desired field) and your CR and W to at least a 700. That should be enough to match at any average school and possibly get you some aid.</p>

8

<p>More than the score, get your percentile up. When I took Math II and got an 800, it was still a 90th percentile or something. A 690 will be in the 60th or 70th percentile.</p>

<p>@Antarius I got a similar score before my 780, it was around 40% (meaning worse than 60%) if I recall. </p>

<p>How the heck can you get a 770 in SAT I math and a 690 in Math 2? Scoring high in the former is waaaay harder. </p>

<p>@BassGui‌tar Thanks for the data point.</p>

<p>To your second question - I skipped a question and promptly filled out every bubble from then on incorrectly, I got a 660 despite getting a 790 in the SAT II Math 1 and an 800 in the SAT 1 math. Retook the test and did as expected!</p>
