Low SAT2 Scores

<p>I took my three SAT 2 tests some time around May or June and got 590 for Math I, 510 U.S. History, and 590 for Physics. I didn't expect what was going to be on the tests, and I thought I had a good idea, but I was wrong when I actually saw them; half the things I never learned in my classes, but it was my fault for not studying properly. So I'm just wondering if most colleges seriously judge you for this during admissions. </p>

<p>I'm thinking about taking the tests again at least Math anyways. I'm not sure to about taking History and Physics, since I took the classes last year and forgot some things. Will it be a better idea to take another SAT 2 instead of those two?</p>

<p>wow, study and retake.</p>

<p>same thing happened to me... except not that bad. my classes at high school suck too and I retook bio after studying hard this past summer.
It depends on what schools you want to go to. Many elite schools look at them, although your SAT I or ACT are more important. However, most normal schools don't care the least bit about SAT 2's</p>

<p>i took those 3 subjects, i got 670 in physics and my scores in the other 2 subjects were worst than yours. i decided to study for math and physics and forget about history. i had the same problem, some things on the tests weren't covered in my classes. so i bought a prep book for each subject and studied for a couple of weeks. i just took them this saturday (oct. 6). well i think i did better because i finished only half of the math test last time and this time i was able to go thru all the problems in both tests.. i think u can study and take them again. get some prep books and u'll be fine</p>

<p>whoa. i highly suggest retake, but only if you're aiming for top colleges. :D</p>

<p>SAT Physics and Math aren't very difficult, you just need basic concepts in order, so with serious study, anybody can do much better.</p>

<p>a friend got into wharton last year with a 590 math2 and 680 math1, so i think it varies for everyone.</p>
