<p>I got a 790 on the June Math II. I was browsing on the forums and some say that the difference between 790 and 800 is negligible, while others say that it is a huge difference given the curve. </p>
<p>So....I can't make up my mind. Is it really negligible or not? Myself, I was kind of expecting 800, so I got bummed out when I saw the score. I'm aiming for top colleges, and I wonder if it matters, especially since I'm in the Asian demo.</p>
<p>790 and 800 are 3 points apart at 86 and 89 percentile respectively.</p>
<p>800 is not a big deal since it is given to 11 percent of people.</p>
<p>Wow hellocollegelife, that’s one tough school. Why did she retake it? Was it worth it? Don’t colleges see how many times you retake the thing? I don’t know, but I don’t think a 790 would put me behind all the other Asians on the list.</p>
<p>On a side note…SO MANY PEOPLE on this site got 800 on their Math II. I feel like throwing a shoe at them. ><"</p>
<p>Ahh. I see. Well, I am planning on taking other SAT Subj. to boost my reputation. If I don’t do that well on the other subject tests, then I will consider retaking this. For now, I will go crazy if I spend another three months worrying about this one.</p>
<p>RETAKE IT! Gosh 800 is the perfect satisfaction right??? don’t settle for number 2</p>
<p>yeah retake. Getting ONE more question right will really impress someone more. And I’m sure CB would love to take your $31 for a test that will make no difference in admissions than the one you took previously</p>
<p>It’s fabulous! I think aiming for a higher score and retaking the test would be over-doing it.</p>
<p>790 is still stratospheric. You realize you can get lost in the shuffle faster if your ECs aren’t up to par and your essays aren’t solid, right? Take a hard look at your overall “package” before you obsess. But, good luck.</p>
<p>The difference could be because you mistakenly said 7+4 = 13 on accident, thus causing you to miss one too many.</p>
<p>It’s fine.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine haha. They’re not going to kick you away if you didn’t get an 800. They look at other, more important things, like GPA, courseload, and, of course, SAT I score. Not to mention essays and ECs.</p>
<p>that’s a great score, congratulations</p>
<p>I got a 790 as well, and I’m applying to Yale SCEA… we’re fine. Go focus on writing a kickass essay.</p>
