<p>does anyone know the typical cutoff for an 800? In the prep books it usually says 44 but I’m afraid it might be higher?</p>
<p>I omitted 2 and got 2 wrong which would put me at 46. I really want an 800 and I’m really close to 44. So does anyone know if there was ever a test where the cutoff was higher than 44?</p>
<p>Omitted 2… and made 3 mistakes I shouldn’t have… Praying…</p>
<p>To those who took the test, how did you study? Any book recommendations? </p>
<p>Are there any specific topics that you wished you reviewed a bit better?</p>
<p>I’m taking it in June so any help would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>MedicalBoy - I took some online practice tests (several people who were not as frugal as I bought the Barron’s book). I still didn’t know what I was doing, but I started “reviewing” two days before, so that might have been it. If you get to a question and it looks like you don’t think you can solve it quickly, skip it. The time restraint is awful, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Omitted 7 and probably got 2-3 wrong.
Anyone know what range that would put me in?
If it’s over a 650 I might just cry [tears of joy] a bit.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Did anyone use Dr.Chung’s SAT Math II?</p>
<p>Use Barron’s for sure, the difficulty level and many of the types of problems correspond appropriately with the test. Use Barron’s + Official Guide = 800, Barron’s 3-4~ tests and Official 2 tests for sure. All in all, after 5 tests one should be ready. The rest is attitude.</p>
<p>I used Dr. Chung’s and it was really helpful, but if I were you I’d get a more realistic guide as well (Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc.).</p>
<p>I got an 800 
.</p>
<p>I got a 770. I’m pretty happy with that</p>
<p>800…omit 4, miss 1 at least, not bad. Any ideas on how generous the curve was?</p>
<p>I got a 750, that’s good right?</p>

<li>Would a retake be a waste of money?</li>
</ol>
<p>@krawfy complete waste of money, but more importantly time. College admissions counselor a would rather see you dedicate your time to something more important than studying and trying to get one or two more questions right on a test that you already did so well on</p>
<p>For anyone who might have an answer, will a 5 on AP calc and mastery of mathematics demonstrated on ones transcript compensate for a lower math level 2 score (i.e. a 740)?</p>
<p>^amissy
5 on AP Calc does compensate a little bit. You could consider retaking, but you don’t have to. 700~ing is pretty good already.</p>
<p>800.

<p>@depressnyak thanks for the input! It’s courses like AP calc though that make me wish AP had a wider range of scores, because I know I got like 80 - 90% of the questions right. But nothing really distinguishes that from someone who got a 5 with a 70% raw score. Ah well. The struggles of people who care way too much about school (i.e. me)</p>
<p>Do you guys think I should retake a 750 if I’m looking at school such as Stanford, Princeton, etc?</p>
<p>740 - was super excited until I realized colleges get people with 800s applying. sort of the same question as a few posters ago, but does it mean anything if I am simply taking Calc AB/BC (even if I do not get a 5 on the exam)? I am looking at a lot of top-tier schools, and I don’t want my stupid subject tests to be detrimental.</p>
<p>Got an 800!!! :D</p>
