May 07 Subject Test Score Thread

<p>Dartmouth was 3 for me applying for the 2010 class. (06 high school grad)</p>

<p>Sheesh what's with all this retaking 750+ scores?</p>

<p>US History - 790
Chemistry - 760
Literature - 730</p>

<p>(Previous test)
Math II - 800
Chinese - 740 (haha 18th percentile...but not retaking)</p>

<p>I'm content. And DONE. With SAT anyways</p>

<p>800 spanish
730 math I :] (thought i got like a 680)</p>

<p>Why do people take more than 3 SAT IIs? Is it for placement purposes in college, perhaps in place of APs?</p>

<p>I'm sorry but once and for all you guys are insane for complaining about anything 700+, especially 750+. Colleges are not going to deny you for having 93% of your answers correct instead of 99%. Worry about other stuff!!!!</p>

<p>Hey guys. Are USA's students as same as like you? I think, i won't be admitted to US universities if they get a score like you</p>

<p>620 USH </p>

<p><em>dies</em> ;_;</p>

<p>750 Literature
790 US History</p>

<p>(proud mom here)</p>

<p>USH: 800
Physics: 780</p>

<p>i was expecting that physics score because i really didnt study too hard for it. in fact, i didnt know i could not use a calculator until just before the test. i guess i am satisfied. </p>

<p>now to retake my depresssingly low SAT I score and satii bio score.
funny what happened. i thought i was way more prepared last year for bio and got a 750 =(</p>

<p>Students, I don't understand why some of you are insisting on retaking SAT II's when you get over 700 in them. If you're MIT-headed & science-or math-majoring, and maybe want to bump up <em>one</em> test, maybe. But really, I don't see even the need for that.</p>

<p>I think my D took 4 or 5 Subject Tests. In only 2 of them did she score above 700 (& never 800 on the Subjects). She scored in the high 600's on the others. Yet she got into every Elite school she applied to.</p>

<p>epiphany,
If you don't mind my asking, why did your d. take so many subject tests? From what I can find, unless you are using them for placement purposes, most schools seem to need no more than 3. I am not meaning at all to sound critical-- I am wanting to understand if there is a reason to encourage my s to take more.</p>

<p>You know, honestly, I don't know that we approached this with much rational thought, LOL. (Meaning, I agree with you!) Also not well-advised by the school's college counselor. She was applying to both publics & privates: perhaps that was part of it. But mostly, I think she was not sure what to expect, score-wise, and didn't know what would be "acceptable" to various demanding colleges, so she took extra tests. (I see some other CC students do that, too.) </p>

<p>This will not be true for D#2. Is limiting tests to what is required, & luckily none of those choices will require more than 2 Subject Tests. She already has above a 700 in one subject test, and I know she will not re-take it. Waste of time & money, imo.</p>

<p>Where did she get in, epiphany? You mentioned that she got into every Elite school she applied to. Also, were her SAT I scores really high? That makes up for lower SAT II scores, I believe.</p>

<p>Your scores may be up even though you see amessage that says to check back on May 30th. My D went through the same thing - basically, you log onto your CB account and go to the "My Status" section; click on "Registrations Completed" Hopefully your scores will be there - they were for my D. Good luck!!!!</p>

<p>Just to add what dandemom just posted, sometimes you have to poke around the CB site a little. Even when I logged in this a.m., it didn't indicate initially that her scores were up, when you click on one of the "score" links (Get & Send, I think): that just listed the registered tests for us. When I went back into Organizer or something, there was a message that said, "______, your scores are ready," and that was linked.</p>

<p>Aquamarinee, I'll PM you. But I wanted to add for the rest of you that my D's classmates also (to my knowledge) did not get 800 on any of the Subject tests & they also did quite well in "elite" admissions, with a range of impressive schools (Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc.)</p>

<p>Anyone find the percentile scores that go with the SAT score??</p>

<p>those come on june 2</p>

<p>Thanks, epiphany :)</p>
